Hands consist of complex, moving parts and are among the most utilized parts of the body, which is whythey are extremely vulnerable to pain and injury.

Our physicians have expertise in the following areas:

Damaged knees, shoulders, ankles, wrists and hips can all benefit from a simple arthroscopic procedure. It can be used to diagnose suspected ligament tears, afflicted meniscus cartilage, bone fragments, and joint pain due to injury. Oftentimes, it's even possible to repair these conditions through the arthroscope, reducing the necessary incisions and recovery time.
Hip and knee joints undergo an incredible amount of pressure and, overtime, can become susceptible to arthritis, wear and even injury. Thankfully, joint replacement technology has made leaps and bounds in recent years. So, should you be a candidate for joint replacement surgery, we can help restore your quality of life with specific implants that suit your individual activity level.
Exercise and massage, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, training and education are some of the methods we offer to help your body recover from illness or injury. Physical therapy is also effective for strengthening and retraining weak muscles, preventing pain and injury, and even helping people adapt to certain physical limitations.
