PERSONALIZED CARE WITH THE FOCUS ON YOU
Orthopedic Surgery
General orthopedics is the medical specialty that focuses on injuries and diseases of the body’s musculoskeletal system, this complex system includes your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves and allows you to move, work and have an active lifestyle.
Sports Medicine
Sports Medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with physical fitness and the treatment and preventions of injuries related to sports and exercise. Arthroscopic surgery is often used in the treatment of sports related joint issues.
Joint Reconstruction
Reconstructive joint surgery is performed to restore normal mechanics and stability for the purpose of regaining normal function following injury. Joint reconstruction can be preformed using arthroscopic and/or open techniques.
Interventional Spine
Interventional spine is a subspecialty of orthopedics and pain management devoted to the treatment of spinal pathology with the use of minimally invasive techniques performed on an outpatient basis with accelerated recovery and minimal downtime for the treatment of painful spine conditions.
Fractures
A fracture is a broken bone often caused by trauma. It can range from a thin crack to a displaced fracture. Fractures can be treated with immobilizations for minimally displaced fractures. Surgery is often necessary to treat displaced or unstable fractures.
Physical Therapy
Following injury and/or surgery, physical therapy is often a necessary and important way to reduce swelling and inflammation and restore strength, motion and normal function to an injured area.
