1. Orthopedics experts treat problems such as bones, joints, pain and spine, while neurologists generally treat brain problems and a few also treat spine problems.

2. Spurs are bones that proliferate beside joints. It can be said that it is a normal physiological phenomenon of joint degeneration, and bone spurs will not cause pain. Pain comes from the wear and tear of cartilage on the joint surface, exposing and rubbing the hard bone below, leading to inflammation.

3. Many patients with low back and leg pain often don't go to regular hospitals for treatment. However, I believe in "magic medicine" and "one needle" and feel that as long as it doesn't hurt, it will be fine. Actually, this is a wrong concept. If you just get rid of the pain, but the cause is still there, it is tantamount to stealing ears. Therefore, doctors often help you analyze the condition, find the cause, and then treat it. Only charlatans sell the so-called "panacea" that can cure all diseases without a clear diagnosis.

4. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve line in the body, extending from the lumbar nerve to the baseboard. If one of them is compressed, it will affect the other connected parts. Therefore, when the patient's treatment of the affected area has improved, it should be checked to determine whether it is the real treatment of the affected area, so as not to delay.

In fact, there is no medical research to prove that obesity will definitely have this problem, but obese people must pay attention to load-bearing joints, such as waist bone, hip joint, knee joint and ankle, because these positions will wear more than ordinary people with normal weight, which is easy to cause joint pain, deformation or wear.

6. Some structural injuries, such as torn cruciate ligament, need a good rest, but in fact, the rehabilitation treatment of many orthopedic problems will involve exercise. Because we don't exercise our bones and muscles, it may cause problems such as muscle atrophy, joint deformation or increased cartilage loss. Proper exercise has a preventive effect!

7. In fact, physical therapy is not exactly the same as exercise, because in some cases, it is unbearable to twist a little, so alternating current or ultrasonic waves will be used to relieve pain and relax muscles, and then the initiative will be placed on the patient to carry out appropriate exercise or exercise.
