Orthopedic care
Orthopedists are doctors who take care of the entire musculoskeletal system. They diagnose and treat conditions such sprains, strains, broken bones, arthritis and osteoporosis. Some of the treatments they offer include recommending lifestyle changes, applying casts and performing surgeries, such as ligament repairs or total joint replacements.

Medical Center orthopedic services
Through advanced pain management, rehabilitation services and pre-surgical education, our multidisciplinary care team delivers high-quality services to prevent and address conditions of the bones, joints, muscles and spine.
Treatments our orthopedists provide
From diagnosis to rehabilitation, we work with your primary care physician to get you back to a lifestyle as active and pain-free as you wish. If surgery is needed, we also provide minimally invasive procedures and techniques, such as arthroscopy, for a faster recovery and shorter hospital stay. Our full range of services includes:
- Joint care — Our orthopedists may recommend surgery for bone and joint conditions that do not respond to conservative treatments. Some of these procedures may include total and partial knee replacement, hip replacement and shoulder replacement. We provide preoperative education classes which allow you and your family to learn about joint replacement surgery and the recovery process.
- Spine care — Some spinal conditions can be treated using noninvasive methods. For those who require surgery, our spine experts have extensive experience in performing procedures with advanced technique, including disc replacement, discectomy and spinal fusion. We often use minimally invasive procedures to treat spine conditions, which can offer benefits such as short recovery times and minimal scarring.
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation — Following surgery, you will receive physical therapy and pain management, if needed, for several days while you remain in the hospital. In preparation for your return home, a home assessment may be conducted to help promote continued safety at home. In most cases, you will be placed on a schedule of outpatient therapy once discharged from the hospital.
Whether you have severe arthritis, joint or spine pain, you can count on our team of orthopedists, orthopedic surgeons, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and case managers to get you moving again. We invite you to learn more about our services or find an orthopedic surgeon.
