An orthopedist is a doctor who specializes in the musculoskeletal system of the human body, which includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves.

The orthopedist uses various treatment modalities, which may include physical therapy, medications, occupational therapy, and surgery, with the goal of restoring the patient's function and mobility. It is advisable to go to an orthopedist for persistent injuries or pain in the musculoskeletal system to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment that allows effective recovery and improves the patient's quality of life.

A general practitioner is a physician or family doctor who is responsible for diagnosing and prescribing medical treatments for patients.
