Take the first step toward living and moving with less pain

When simple tasks are hard to do with muscle soreness or joint pain, our orthopedic and sports medicine doctors and care teams are ready to help. We listen to understand you about how your pain or injury is limiting your movement. Throughout the Ascension network, we offer many orthopedic sites of care with convenient online scheduling and testing close to home. Then, we work with you to create a care plan that’s right for you. We help you get back to the activities you love.

Orthopedic care for children and adults

We focus on treating your condition and helping you prevent reinjury so you can stay active. Falls are the leading cause of injury in older adults. Overuse, direct impact or doing an exercise the wrong way for your body can cause activity-related or sports injuries at any age.

At some locations, we offer urgent walk-in injury care for minor orthopedic sports injuries. We also offer multi-specialty orthopedic and sports medicine sites of care, where our doctors diagnose and treat conditions that affect how you move and that cause pain in your back, hips, arms, and legs. We offer treatments, including:

  • Medication therapy
  • Minimally invasive, outpatient surgery
  • Non-surgical injections and orthobiologics to help injuries heal quickly
  • Orthopedic surgery, including total and partial joint replacement
  • Rehabilitation and recovery care
  • Exercise physiology and sports performance

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, go directly to the ER or call 911.

Care for joint and spine pain

Our orthopedic surgeons are part of a national network of specialists, sharing best practices, from joint replacement and reconstruction surgery to sports medicine and rehabilitation.
