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.

Features of our orthopedics program
Our hospital provides access to emergency, therapeutic and surgical orthopedic treatments in a welcoming, patient-focused setting.
Nonsurgical orthopedic treatments
We strive to begin treatment with nonsurgical care, whenever possible. Through a combination of nonsurgical treatments, such as such as ultrasound-guided steroid injections, pain relievers, casts, braces or therapeutic exercises, we are able to treat a variety of conditions and bring about the positive results you deserve. Regardless of the type or severity of your condition, we provide a full preemptive health assessment that informs the creation of a personalized treatment plan to bring you relief.
Surgical orthopedic treatments
If it is determined that your condition will respond best to surgical care, we prioritize the least invasive procedures possible. By using leading-edge, minimally invasive procedures, we are able to reduce the overall impact of surgery on you, with a shorter inpatient stay, minimal scarring and a faster recovery.
In instances of necessary surgery, our orthopedic surgeons offer minimally invasive arthroscopy to treat injuries and damage to tendons, ligaments, bones and cartilage.
Orthopedic rehabilitation
During orthopedic rehabilitation, we partner with your referring physician, rehabilitation therapists and medical specialists to bring about the most positive outcomes, in the shortest amount of time. Following surgery, we work together to not only restore your strength, functionality and range of motion, but also reduce the risks for future injuries.
