Treatments We Offer
We treat many orthopedic conditions at first using medication, injections, or rehabilitation medicine, including physical therapy. If nonsurgical treatments fail to resolve your pain and mobility issues, we may recommend surgery. We use minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques whenever possible, and many patients return home the same day. Minimally invasive approaches mean faster recovery time, less pain, and less chance of complications. Surgical treatments may include:
- Arthroscopy to repair torn or damaged cartilage, tendons, or ligaments
- Fracture repair
- Hip or knee replacement
- Rotator cuff repair
Research has shown that full recovery from orthopedic surgery depends on successful physical therapy. For this reason, we assess your needs right after surgery—and begin rehabilitation soon thereafter. Our physical therapists work with inpatients seven days a week to help them regain full mobility. We help you transition from the hospital to home, or to a rehabilitation facility, if necessary, as quickly as possible.
