Orthopedics

Fractures, joint pain, sports injuries, arthritis, back and spine — assessed, imaged, and managed in Spanish Town. Walk-ins welcome seven days a week.

It's the knee that's gotten worse since the slip last year. The shoulder that hasn't been right since the football match. The back that started talking at 40 and hasn't stopped. The wrist you bent the wrong way coming down the stairs last week. Pain that doesn't quite need an ambulance — but does need a proper look and a plan.

That's the work of Amadeo's orthopedics service. Fractures, joint pain, sports injuries, arthritis, back and spine — assessed on the day, with imaging arranged through our islandwide radiology alliances when X-ray or MRI is the right next step. The plan that follows might be a splint, a course of physiotherapy referral, a steroid injection, or a surgical consult when conservative care has run its course.

A plan that actually fits your week.

The patients we see

Acute injuries are the urgent group — fractures, sprains, dislocations, falls, the wrist that landed wrong, the ankle that rolled on uneven ground. Same-day assessment, splint or cast where needed, and imaging arranged through our radiology partners when the diagnosis depends on it. Sports injuries — runners, footballers, dancers, weekend cricketers — get the same workup with rehab planning built in.

The other half of orthopedics is chronic. Osteoarthritis of the knees and hips that's gotten worse with the years. Rotator-cuff trouble that's been quietly building for months. Lower back pain that's no longer responding to over-the-counter management. Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow in patients who don't play either sport. Conservative management — injections, physiotherapy referral, activity modification, weight strategies when relevant — is the first line; we coordinate surgical consultation when that becomes the right answer.

Why families choose Amadeo for joint and bone care

Same-day assessment. An injured shoulder doesn't wait six weeks for an appointment. Walk-ins are welcome, and imaging is coordinated through our islandwide radiology alliances so the X-ray or MRI doesn't sit at the bottom of a queue.

Coordinated care. Orthopedic problems rarely live alone — back pain interacts with weight and blood pressure, joint pain interacts with diabetes, athletic injuries need rehab that fits the rest of a patient's medications. With 15+ specialists under one roof, the internal medicine and gynaecology colleagues your case may touch are a hallway away. Physiotherapy partners stay in the loop on your progress.

Continuity of follow-up. The doctor who sets your splint at week one is the doctor who reviews the X-ray at week six. Over 30,000 families have come through these doors. You and yours will be in great hands.

Orthopedics FAQ

Can I be seen the same day for an injury?

Yes. Walk-ins are welcome seven days a week, and acute injuries are prioritised. If the injury is severe — a possible open fracture, a head injury, loss of consciousness, or major bleeding — go to the nearest hospital emergency department first.

Do you do X-rays on-site?

X-ray is coordinated through our islandwide radiology alliances; in most cases we can get you imaged the same day or the next morning, with the report back in your Amadeo chart. MRI and CT are scheduled the same way.

What should I bring to my visit?

Any prior imaging (X-ray, MRI, CT) on disc or digital, a complete medication list, your insurance details, and a written timeline of the symptoms — when they started, what makes them worse, what's helped so far.

Do you offer joint injections?

Yes. Steroid and viscosupplementation injections for knees, shoulders, and other joints are performed on-site by appointment. The orthopedic consult is the first step — we'll discuss whether an injection is the right next step for your case before scheduling.

How much does an orthopedic visit cost?

Cost depends on what's needed — a baseline consult with imaging coordination is the most common starting point. We work with most major Jamaican health insurance providers; pre-authorisation may apply for imaging and procedures. Call (876) 676-5098 for an estimate.
