Telehealth for Orthopedic Care

Back To Orthopedics

When you're dealing with back pain, joint stiffness, a sprain or strain, or recovering from orthopedic surgery, getting care quickly matters. At Banner Health, our orthopedic providers offer telehealth visits that make it easier to connect with the care you need—without leaving home. 

What is telehealth for orthopedics? 

Telehealth for orthopedics is a secure video visit with an orthopedic specialist. It allows you to talk with your provider from your phone, tablet, or computer—whether you’re at home, at work or on the go. 

Virtual orthopedic care is safe, convenient and easy to use. It’s ideal for many types of appointments that don’t require a hands-on physical exam. 

What types of orthopedic visits can be done by telehealth? 

  • Orthopedic telehealth visits may be appropriate for: 
  • Initial consultations 
  • Surgery follow-up care 
  • Review of imaging or test results 
  • Medication refills and prescription questions 
  • Questions about ongoing symptoms 

Your provider will let you know if a virtual visit is right for your situation. 

If you are experiencing a medical emergency or a traumatic injury, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. 

How to schedule a telehealth orthopedics appointment 

If you’re an existing Banner Health patient, contact your orthopedic provider to ask if your next appointment can be done by video. New patients can call the location closest to them or visit our  Telehealth Services page to learn more. 

What do I need for a telehealth visit? 

To join a telehealth visit, you’ll need: 

  • A smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer 
  • A working camera and microphone 
  • A reliable internet connection 

For help getting started, check out our Telehealth Resources for step-by-step instructions.
