Joint Replacement
The body’s joints allow it to move freely. Over time, a patient’s joints become damaged or diseased, most often from arthritis, causing the need for replacement. Joint replacement is an orthopedic procedure in which an arthritic or damaged joint is removed and replaced with an orthopedic prosthesis, generally made from materials to allow the artificial joint to move normally. Joint replacement surgeries performed at DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine includes ankle replacement, hip replacement, knee replacement and shoulder replacement.
Sports Medicine
Whether you’re playing professionally, collegiately, or recreationally, injuries are always a risk, making proper sports medicine crucial. From youth athletes to pros, the experts at DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine specializes in diagnosing and treating injuries and conditions most commonly seen in sports, such as sprains, ligament tears, dislocations, fractures, and more. Our areas of expertise includes Foot and ankle injuries, Shoulder injuriesand Knee injuries
Shoulder
One of the most flexible joints in the body, the shoulder allows patients to rotate their arms in several positions, including in front, behind, and to the side of their body. Oftentimes a result of overuse due to repetitive and excessive activities, shoulder concerns tend to deal with ligaments, tendons, and muscles instead of the bones. DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine works quickly to help alleviate shoulder pain and aims to restore the full range of motion for patients.
Foot & Ankle
Feet and ankles are tasked with supporting the body’s full weight. To handle this, feet and ankles have a complex anatomy. The doctors and surgeons at DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine understand this anatomy and the role a patient’s foot and ankle play in their daily activities. To treat a variety of foot and ankle injuries, our physicians use the most up-to-date techniques for both surgical and nonsurgical procedures.
Hip
Hip pain can cause everyday movements, such as standing, sitting, and walking, to become difficult and uncomfortable. With a number of possible causes, hip concerns require professional care. DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine provides quality care for those living with problems in their hips. Our treatments include both surgical and nonsurgical procedures.
Knee
The knee is one of the strongest, as well as most important, parts of the human body, and for good reason. Knees take constant punishment to support the body during everyday activities like walking, running, sitting, and standing. Knee pain is often a result of this constant punishment and can be an indication something more serious is going on. The skilled physicians at DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine will evaluate a patient’s knee to determine the best course of action for treatment.
