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.

Joint replacement
Joint replacement surgery involves replacing any damaged components of a joint with artificial implants (prostheses).

The joint replacement can be total, meaning the entire joint is replaced with a prosthesis, or partial, meaning only part of the joint is replaced.

Orthopedic and spine rehabilitation
Often, physical therapy and rehabilitation is helpful in recovering from orthopedic and spine injuries and surgeries. Our physical therapists will create a personalized therapy regimen for you to help you regain strength, function and mobility.
Spine care
We always aim to treat your back pain and restore quality of life with conservative treatment options. If methods such as physical therapy and pain management therapy are ineffective, surgery may be recommended. Our highly skilled spine surgeons use the latest imaging methods and surgical techniques, including minimally invasive options whenever possible, for optimal results and faster recovery.
