X-rays

X-rays are a fundamental tool in orthopedics, offering a first look at bone fractures, joint abnormalities, and certain infections. By providing clear images of bone structure, X-rays help in diagnosing various conditions and are often the initial step in formulating a treatment plan.

MRI Scans

MRI scans offer detailed images of soft tissues, including ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, complementing X-rays by providing a more comprehensive view of the musculoskeletal system. This advanced imaging technique is invaluable in diagnosing soft tissue injuries and degenerative conditions.

CT Scans

CT scans provide cross-sectional images that give detailed information about bone and soft tissue structure, crucial for diagnosing complex fractures and planning surgical interventions. The precision of CT imaging allows for accurate treatment planning and improved outcomes.

Bone Density Scans

Bone density scans, or DEXA scans, measure bone mineral density, playing a key role in diagnosing osteoporosis. This test is essential for assessing fracture risk and guiding treatment decisions to strengthen bones and prevent future fractures.

Electromyography (EMG)

EMG tests muscle and nerve function, useful in diagnosing conditions affecting muscle tissue, nerves, or the junctions between them. It’s particularly helpful in cases of unexplained muscle weakness or numbness, providing insights into nerve and muscle health.

Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat problems inside a joint. Using a small camera inserted through a tiny incision, surgeons can view joint conditions and perform necessary repairs, offering patients faster recovery times and reduced pain post-surgery.

Joint Replacement Surgery

Joint replacement surgery involves removing a damaged joint and replacing it with an artificial implant. Commonly performed on the hip and knee, this surgery aims to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance the quality of life for individuals with severe joint damage. Fracture Repair Fracture repair encompasses a range of treatments from casting and bracing to surgical intervention, depending on the fracture’s severity and location. The goal is to realign broken bones, promote healing, and restore function to the affected area.

Spinal Surgery

Spinal surgery addresses various conditions affecting the spine, from herniated discs to spinal stenosis and scoliosis. Procedures can range from minimally invasive techniques to more complex surgeries, aimed at relieving pain, correcting deformities, and improving spinal function.

Physical Therapy: Physical therapy plays a crucial role in the recovery process after orthopedic injuries or surgeries. Tailored exercise programs help patients regain strength, flexibility, and mobility, ensuring a return to daily activities and preventing future injuries.

Occupational Therapy: Occupational therapy assists patients in recovering the skills needed for daily living and working following orthopedic conditions or surgeries. It focuses on improving functionality, adapting activities, and using assistive devices to enhance independence.

Osteoporosis Management

Managing osteoporosis involves a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and preventive measures to maintain bone health and reduce the risk of fractures. Strategies focus on strengthening bones, improving balance, and minimizing fall risks.

Rheumatologic Care

Rheumatologic care addresses arthritis and other rheumatic conditions affecting joints and connective tissues. Comprehensive treatment plans may include medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments to manage pain, reduce inflammation, and preserve joint function.
