What does general orthopaedics cover?

Dr. Joseph Seritsane is equipped to address a wide spectrum of orthopaedic conditions, offering a variety of treatments depending on the nature and severity of the patient’s condition. His treatments range from physical therapy to improve spinal health, bracing to stabilize and support the spine, to prescription medication to manage pain. In extreme cases, he may perform surgery. However, surgery is always a last resort, considered only when conservative treatments have failed to provide relief and restore mobility of the spine. Fortunately, there are several surgical interventions, depending on the disorder which you suffer from, such as arthroscopy, a minimally invasive approach, joint fusion and surgical resection of damaged material and tissue.

Dr Seritsane addresses numerous disorders that negatively impact spinal health. He initiates highly effective forms of intervention to ensure all patients recover quickly with minimal risk of complications. The aim is to improve the quality of life for all his patients and restore function. His care does not end with surgery alone. Rehabilitation, a crucial aspect of the healing process, consists of physical therapy and routine follow-ups and is essential to the patient’s recovery.

General orthopaedics of the spine involves the diagnosis and treatment of various degenerative spinal disorders such as disc degeneration, spinal stenosis, dislocations, vertebral fractures, congenital abnormalities and a debilitating pain syndrome like lower back pain.

Dr Seritsane, a highly accomplished orthopaedic spine surgeon, has specialised training in the field and is equipped with the surgical expertise to handle complex cases.
