Arm and hand

It isn’t easy to live with pain or without the full use of a hand or arm. The hands, wrists and elbows are intricate parts of the body and have many bones, muscles and ligaments that work together. Pain and injury of the hand and arm areas are fairly common, whether it be from sports, work-related tasks, falls or other accidents. Our orthopaedic specialists use the latest minimally-invasive techniques to help you heal faster, expand your range of motion and get back to living your life sooner.

Back and neck

Back and neck pain are the most common orthopaedic issues, with more than 80 percent of the American population experiencing it at some point in their lifetime. Like many other conditions, back and neck pain can get worse over time if left untreated. Fortunately, back and neck pain can be relieved without surgical treatment in most cases. Our orthopaedic physicians will always first try non-operative options, but should a back or neck condition require surgery, our team performs both minimally-invasive surgeries and closed procedures designed to get you on the road to a quick recovery.

Foot and ankle

Because your feet and ankles are complex and bear the weight of your body daily, injuries and pain from overuse are common and can seriously affect your ability to function on a daily basis and enjoy life. Foot and ankle problems are most commonly caused by nerve damage, aging, poor blood circulation and diabetes. Your feet and ankles are also very susceptible to arthritis, sports injuries, fractures, sprains and other traumatic injuries. Our orthopaedic physicians aim to treat these conditions conservatively, and if needed, surgically, to help you get back on your feet and back to your life as soon as possible.

Hip

Many people experience hip pain at some point in their lives, and it often prohibits them from walking, sleeping and performing other daily tasks comfortably. While one of the most common causes of hip pain is arthritis, injuries from events such as a fall can cause painful fracture. Hip fractures and other joint problems are serious health issues that require immediate treatment. Our hip specialists provide treatment, surgical procedures and replacements that can help you to heal and restore comfort in your daily life.

Knee

Your knees provide the stability needed for you to stay mobile, so when your knee pain makes it hard for you to walk, run and enjoy sports or other activities, it is time to see one of our orthopaedic physicians. Our knee specialists have years of experience caring for knees and understand how to treat your condition to get you back to your favorite activities.

Shoulder

While the shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, it is also one of the most unstable. Your shoulder can be a site of many common problems, including sprains, strains, separations, dislocations, tendonitis, torn rotator cuffs, arthritis and other issues. Shoulder injuries can happen at any age, whether it be from years of wear and tear, a sports injury or a fall. Our orthopaedic specialists use the latest advances in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of shoulder injuries to help you improve function, increase mobility and enhance your quality of life.
