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.

Joint replacement surgery
When conservative treatments are not effective at treating your joint pain, your doctor may recommend joint replacement surgery.

Orthopedic rehabilitation services
Physical therapy and rehabilitation is a vital component to comprehensive orthopedic care. Sometimes, physical therapy is used as a primary method of treatment to stretch and work injured ligaments, tendons and joints. Other times, rehabilitation is key to restoring movement following an orthopedic surgery, such as a joint replacement.
We offer physical therapy and rehabilitation services at our Outpatient Therapy Center. Here, our physical therapists and rehabilitation team are highly trained to treat musculoskeletal problems and orthopedic injuries.
