About Us: Surgeon Information
Orthopaedic Surgeons
Orthopaedic Surgeons specialize in treating patients with injury or disease of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, or skin. The scope of orthopaedics includes fractures, dislocations, sprains, strains, tears of muscles, tendons, or soft tissues, and arthritis of the joints in both children and adults. In the treatment of these disorders, orthopaedic surgeons may employ medical, physical, and rehabilitative methods as well as surgical methods.
Podiatrists/ Foot & Ankle Surgeons
Podiatrists specialize in treating all conditions of the foot and ankle in both children and adults. They routinely treat conditions including ankle fractures and sprains, achilles tendon injuries, foot fractures, heel pain, bunions, hammertoes, flatfeet, and tendon injuries. In the treatment of these disorders, podiatrists use bracing, physical therapy, orthotics, and other medical therapy as well as a wide variety of surgical methods.
Physiatrists
Physiatrists are physicians specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. They provide non-operative care for people with arthritis, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck or back pain, repetitive stress, and other work- and sports-related injuries. Physiatrists also perform electrodiagnostic studies (EMG) and other tests to determine the correct diagnoses.
In addition to utilizing traditional medical treatments, physiatrists work closely with other rehabilitation professionals such as physical therapists, occupational therapists, nurses, psychologists, and social workers to provide the most comprehensive, quality care possible.
Certain physiatrists are trained in interventional spine procedures such as epidural and facet injections to alleviate neck and back pain. Their primary goal is to improve the functional ability and quality of life for people with these injuries.
