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.

Diagnostic orthopedic services
Diagnostic imaging services are an integral part of caring for your orthopedic condition. We use X-rays, computerized tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to diagnose a variety of orthopedic conditions.
Additionally, we also offer a live X-ray imaging tool (called fluoroscopy) in the operating room to guide your surgeon during surgery.
Bone density screening
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), or bone density screening, measures bone loss. This scan uses enhanced X-rays and small amounts of radiation to measure bone density and mineral content. A DEXA scan can be a helpful screening tool to evaluate your risk for osteoporosis or bone fractures.
