Orthopedic care

Orthopedists are doctors who take care of the entire musculoskeletal system. They diagnose and treat conditions such sprains, strains, broken bones, arthritis and osteoporosis. Some of the treatments they offer include recommending lifestyle changes, applying casts and performing surgeries, such as ligament repairs or total joint replacements.

Orthopedic services we provide

If you’re struggling with neck, back or joint pain, we offer various surgical and nonsurgical treatment options that can help return you to your daily life.

Orthopedic surgery

Our doctors treat conditions and injuries of the bones, tendons, joints and muscles. Although we prefer to treat these issues without surgery, it may be the best treatment option in certain cases.

Our orthopedic surgeons prefer to use minimally invasive procedures, in which they use small scopes, incisions and surgical instruments. Compared to traditional surgeries, minimally invasive procedures usually result in less scarring, fewer complications and a shorter recovery time.

Should you and your doctor decide to include surgery in your treatment plan, our medical team will be there to help every step of the way.

Joint replacement services

As we age, the cartilage in our joint begins to break down due to overuse, stress, injuries and specific conditions like arthritis. Without cartilage the bones in our joints begin to rub against each other, causing discomfort, pain and limited mobility. Oftentimes, the only way to relieve these symptoms is through joint replacement surgery.

Our orthopedic surgeons offer multiple joint replacement services, including:

  • Knee replacements
  • Partial (hemi) shoulder replacements
  • Total hip replacements
  • Total shoulder replacements

We even offer free joint education classes prior to your replacement surgery, so you can understand the various risk factors and how to minimize them.


Physical rehabilitation and therapy

Our physical rehabilitation specialists provide outpatient physical and occupational therapy to help you fully recover after your orthopedic procedure. All therapies are personalized to your individual needs and health goals, helping you resume an active lifestyle as soon as possible.
