Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis affects millions of Americans. As bones continue to weaken with age, symptoms of back pain, loss of height, and fractures of bones of the spine, arms, wrists, hands, hips and legs can develop. Our team of specialists is trained in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition, as well as fracture prevention with medicines and vitamins, as well as management and rehabilitation if fractures happen.
Trauma
Injuries to bones, joints, muscles and ligaments can happen as a result of simple daily activity or complex accidents or falls. These can result in severe pain, disability and possibly poor outcomes if not treated properly. Our team of specialists provides comprehensive trauma and fracture care for patients in need, including casting, splinting, surgery when necessary, and rehabilitation to allow early recovery and a return to normal function.
Sports
Running, biking, playing soccer and skiing make you feel energized and healthy. However, sometimes your body cannot keep up with the demands. It is possible, for example, to develop tears in the shoulder (rotator cuff) or knee (ACL). Our team is particularly skilled in minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures, which can put you back on course faster than you might expect.
Spine
Back and neck pain can be very disabling. Children and young adults can be affected by scoliosis, trauma or disc herniations. Seniors can be afflicted by arthritis, spinal stenosis, deformity, and osteoporosis-related fractures. Our team is trained to help you with neck and back pain and injuries. We always utilize conservative means such as physical therapy, medications, exercise and injections before considering surgery.
Hand & Wrist
The hand is a unique area of the human body that is made up of bone, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, skin, and blood vessels. These elements must all be in good working order for the hand to function well. The relationship between all these structures is delicate and refined. An injury or disease can affect any or all of these structures and impair the use of the hand and upper extremity. Injuries to the hand and upper extremity can keep you from writing, working or even holding your child’s hand. Our team specializes in getting you "back into the game" as quickly as possible. Surgery may be recommend, but only when non-surgical treatment fails.
Joint Replacement & Arthritis
Arthritis in the hip and knee can keep you from ordinary activities like standing up or walking. A previously implanted prosthetic joint could also be the cause of discomfort or pain. Our team specializes in joint replacement, and we have helped thousands. With use of the most recent advancements in orthopaedic implants, pain management protocols and minimally invasive surgical techniques, patients recover faster and exceed expectations.
