Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation  (Back) 

• Weekend warriors

From the standard sports to the extreme sports our sports medicine physicians are here for you. With an accurate diagnosis, treatment plans are designed to return you to an active lifestyle. The hardest part of recovery is not over-exercising or returning to the active list to soon. Rehabilitation may start with simple steps or range of motion exercises, but building strength and increasing agility is part of the plan. Playing by the rules for recovery is a big part of recovery. 

Hand and Upper Extremity  (Back)  
Can't use your thumb? Can't bend your wrist? Hands or fingers numb or painful at night? Some symptoms are quite common, and relatively simple in treatment. If finger, hand or elbow symptoms keep you from doing the things you enjoy, seek evaluation by a qualified orthopaedic hand surgeon. Many conservative treatment approaches are available, but successful treatment depends on accurate diagnosis.

Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery  (Back) 
Tummy Tuck, Breast Enlargement or Reduction, Collagen or Fat Injection, Facelift, Facial Implants, Nose Surgery are just a few of the cosmetic procedures that may occasionally fulfill true medical needs. Whatever the reason, you can reduce your risks by choosing a qualified plastic surgeon. Our cosmetic and plastic reconstructive surgeon has received the American Medical Association's Physician's Recognition Award annually, since 1993. For information on a procedure or our doctor check out

Joint Replacement  (Back) 
Pain while bearing weight on the hip or knee, swelling of the joint with fluid, and/or a decrease in range of motion are possible signs of the need for knee or hip replacement. These symptoms of joint degeneration are most commonly caused by osteoarthritis, the "wear and tear arthritis." Abnormalities of knee function from fractures of the knee, torn cartilage, and torn ligaments can also lead to degeneration of the hip joint, which occurs when the ball portion of the femur loses its blood supply due to fractures, dislocations or long-term cortisone treatment. Finally, mechanical abnormalities from fractures or childhood hip conditions may eventually lead to joint-replacement surgery.

Spine  (Back) 
Back pain, leg pain, neck pain…it's all in your head? Is there a correct way to sit, stand and walk? How long do you put up with the discomfort? At what age can degeneration of back bone cause you pain and can it be "fixed"? Reviewing your history and symptoms with our spine specialist would make it possible for you to understand the mechanical changes that may cause pain and the options for treatment and the reason for corrective measures to alleviate the pain.

Foot and Ankle  (Back) 
Millions of visits are made to physicians' offices each year because of foot and ankle problems, with over one million visits a year for ankle sprains. No one is immune from these injuries, but you can help reduce your injury risk by wearing appropriate foot wear and paying attention to the signals your body gives you regarding work or play. 

Common foot problems can be evaluated best by an orthpaedic surgeon, practicing conservative treatment when possible and having access to state of the art treatment when necessary.

Orthotripsy is for those who have had heel pain from plantar faciitis for at least six months and who have tried other methods for treating their heel pain. Using the same concept as lithotripsy for kidney stones, the "shockwaves" at a lower intensity, promote increased circulation and healing. Results of the procedure may be seen immediately, significant results within three months.
