What is orthopedics?

Orthopedic medicine focuses on diseases or injuries of the musculoskeletal system. This complex system enables physical movement and includes:

Orthopedic injuries can cause chronic pain, prevent you from performing everyday activities, and reduce your quality of life.

Orthopedic injuries can occur in men, women, and children of all ages. Our team's experience in orthopedic medicine covers pediatric, adult, and geriatric care.

How are orthopedic injuries diagnosed and treated?

During your appointment, a physician will review your symptoms and perform a physical examination. Based on your condition, they may recommend additional diagnostics like digital X-rays or blood tests.

Whenever possible, our physicians will bring a conservative, evidence-based approach to treating orthopedic injuries. Depending on your condition, we may recommend:

• Medication
• Restorative exercises
• Chiropractic manipulation or massage
• Ultrasound or laser therapy
• Nerve blocks or steroid injections
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Referral for surgery when appropriate

We also offer stem cell therapy. This regenerative treatment reduces pain and restores function by triggering your body’s natural healing responses. In addition to treating orthopedic injuries, our team provides lifestyle recommendations and prevention strategies to reduce your risk of developing injuries in the future.

For unstable orthopedic injuries that require surgical treatment, one of our physicians might recommend:

• Soft tissue repair: restores tears in ligaments or tendons
• Fusion: fuses bones together with devices like metal rods
• Internal fixation: repairs broken bones with screws, pins, or plates
• Arthroscopy: repairs joint problems using specialized cameras and tools
• Joint replacement: replaces damaged joints with artificial prosthetic joints
