Orthopedics
Orthopedics is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating injuries and diseases of your body’s musculoskeletal system.
Foot and Ankle
The feet and ankles are complex structures of the body. They are made up of 26 bones, 33 joints, several muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Together, these structures provide movement and stability to the entire body. Injuries to the feet and ankles can make everyday activities like walking and standing painful.Â
Hand
The structure of the hand is a complex network of bones, nerves, and tendons working together to enable the hand to function with ease in everyday activities. When these structures are injured and everyday activities become painful or difficult to complete, a doctor specializing in the care of the hand, wrist, and forearm can step in to help.
Spine Care
 When the spine ages, it can create painful symptoms throughout the body and can make everyday motions difficult. A team of physicians specializing in the care of the spine can help relieve your pain.
Sports Medicine
A physician practicing sports medicine focuses on sports-related medical services. This may include preventative measures such as conditioning and injury prevention, as well as treatments such as osteopathic manipulation, rehabilitation, or injections.Â
