Orthopedic Conditions That We Treat

Disorders and conditions that cause orthopedic and joint problems include:

  • Arthritis of all types, including osteoarthritis
  • Damage due to injury or trauma, including fractures resulting from osteoporosis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders
  • Pain resulting from prior unsuccessful procedures and previous joint replacements that have worn out or failed

Evaluation & Diagnosis

We begin with a thorough assessment of your pain by your doctor. Diagnostic tests can include X-rays, CT scans, MRIs and bone scans of the affected area, coordinated through your physician’s office.

After a comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis of your joint pain, your physician will recommend appropriate treatment options, which may include a combination of non-surgical pain management techniques and/or surgical intervention.
