There are a number of professions that offer non-surgical treatment options for many orthopedic problems, such as physiotherapy, chiropractic, occupational therapy, podiatry, and kinesiology. Conditions requiring medication or surgical intervention are managed by orthopedic surgeons in Lancaster.Many orthopedic surgeons in Lancaster opt for further training or fellowship, after completing their residency training.
