Sports injury care and rehab

Rehabilitation services include physical therapy and athletic training for your sports performance needs. Our doctors and athletic trainers support local sports teams as first responders at practices and competitions. We offer an education and sports performance program to help prevent injuries and improve strength and conditioning.

Hip and knee replacement surgery program

When hip or knee pain keeps you from sleeping restfully and causes chronic pain, our orthopedic doctors offer minimally invasive joint replacement options.

Greater accuracy, along with better joint implant alignment and positioning means that you may experience less pain, recover faster, and have more flexibility.

If you experience a life-threatening, medical emergency, including a traumatic injury to your ribs, neck or spine or compound bone fractures, go to the nearest ER and call 9-1-1.

  • What else should I know after I have joint replacement surgery?
    • Let your dentist know if you had joint replacement surgery. Ask your dentist if you need to take a dental pre-medicine before your dental appointment.  
    • It’s likely that your joint replacement will trigger the TSA airport security device and additional TSA scanning may take place.
  • What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?

    Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are a type of minimally invasive orthobiologic treatment which help reduce pain, promote healing and restore function. A PRP injection is made from your own blood using plasma-rich platelets separated from your blood cells and injected back into your body. PRP therapy uses the platelets in your blood because it contains nutrients and proteins that help encourage new cell growth.Plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow are some conditions treated with PRP injections. This treatment is also used to treat inflamed tendons and ligaments in the knee and hip.
