Orthopedics

Orthopedic medicine
Orthopedic medicine is the care of the musculoskeletal system. This complex system of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves make it possible for your body to move. When injury, disease or simple wear-and-tear cause you pain or limit your movement, orthopedic specialists can help get you back to your best health. Our orthopedic specialists serve as team physicians for the athletes.

An orthopedic specialist can be a doctor or a physician assistant (PA) who fixes injuries, such as broken bones, torn ligaments, separated shoulders, sprained ankles or strained muscles. 

Other health problems treated by orthopedic specialists include: 

  • conditions like arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome
  • difficulties related to cerebral palsy and osteoporosis
  • back problems, such as herniated disk, low back pain and sciatica
  • clubfoot, scoliosis or other limb or spine deformities
  • toe, foot and ankle problems like bunions and hammer toe
