Orthopedic care
Orthopedists are doctors who take care of the entire musculoskeletal system. They diagnose and treat conditions such as 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.

Orthopedic treatments and services
Our orthopedists partner with you through diagnosis, treatment and recovery. We are proud to offer a variety of personalized orthopedic services that align with your personal health goals.
Arthritis and joint care
Getting older or certain autoimmune conditions can cause chronic joint pain, making the simplest movements difficult and painful. We emphasize noninvasive treatment plans such as medication and physical therapy, but if your physician determines surgery is needed, we offer various joint replacement procedures, including:
Foot and ankle care
Hand and upper extremities
Our hand and arm specialists handle all types of conditions and injuries affecting your hand, wrist, elbow, arm and shoulder. And, understanding how important your thumbs and fingers are, we have highly skilled hand surgeons in our network who work to retain your dexterity and range of motion.
Spine care
The specialists in our spine care program work to treat your neck and back pain with the latest research and technology. Our spine doctors address a wide range of issues, including scoliosis, benign and malignant tumors, stenosis and spinal cord injuries.
Orthopedic surgery
We typically look to noninvasive methods of treatment, but when conservative methods won't work, a surgical procedure may be required. Some procedures our skilled orthopedic surgeons perform include:
- ACL, LCL and MCL repair
- Arthroscopy of the shoulder, hip and knee
- Bone fracture repair
- Joint replacement (hip, knee and shoulder)
- Meniscus repair
- Rotator cuff repair
- Surgeries of the hands, wrists, feet and ankles
Minimally invasive orthopedic surgery
Smaller incisions mean less scarring, reduced impact to surrounding tissue and less pain, resulting in a faster recovery for most patients.
