- Neck and back injuries (stenosis, scoliosis, disc herniation)
- Hip injuries (bursitis, osteoarthritis)
- Knee injuries (patellofemoral syndrome, ACL tear, meniscus tear)
- Ankle injuries (Achilles’ heel, peroneal tendonitis)
- Foot injuries (plantar fasciitis, fractures)
- TMJD

Signs and Symptoms
More often than not, an individual with an orthopedic condition will experience stiff joints, muscle spasms, numbness, tingling, and/or low energy.
Our orthopedic doctors work within a collaborative team of massage therapists, physical therapists and pain management doctors to treat your whole body, not just your symptoms.
Treatment
Orthopedic doctors are skilled in a number of different avenues including:
- Diagnosing your injury or disorder
- Treating your injury or disorder holistically
- Rehabilitating your body by suggesting exercises or additional forms of treatment to improve overall body function
- Preventing future symptoms from arising by providing additional helpful information and/or follow-up visits
Your initial visit will begin with a few questions regarding your symptoms and a physical examination. Your physical examination may be followed by blood tests, x-rays or other tests. Before moving forward, your doctor will discuss the best treatment option for your condition- whether that’s physical therapy, massage therapy, exercise rehabilitation or chiropractic care.
