Shoulder: Shoulder dislocations can result in damage to structures inside your shoulder such as the labrum and rotator cuff. Surgeries may be directed at these injuries to prevent or decrease your risk for recurrent dislocations or reduce the potential for causing more degenerative changes.
Knee: An ACL rupture may result in a constant sense of instability in the knee that prohibits you from enjoying the sporting activities you love. Surgery directed at reconstructing this damaged ligament may provide you with the stability needed to pivot and get back to what you love.
Hip: Lateral hip pain may be an indicator of a gluteus medius tendon tear. This in combination with bursitis may lead to a syndrome called Lateral Hip Syndrome, which can cause debilitating pain and a limp. Surgery directed towards this may decrease the constant pain on the side of your hip.
Hand: Numbness and pain may be an indicator of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome affecting your hand. Symptoms may be managed with a brace or potentially medications; however, if these fail our specialists may be able to provide relief of these symptoms with a carpal tunnel surgery.
Foot: Has your foot progressively looked flatter? This may indicate a problem with the posterior tibial tendon that may be remedied with either bracing or a surgical procedure such as a tendon repair or tendon transfer.
Elbow: Has your pickle-ball or tennis practice caused you to have sharp pains on the side of the elbow? Is this making it difficult to open jars or carry objects? This could indicate a problem in the tendons of the elbow that may be improved with the correct brace or medication.
Spine: Do you have numbness and tingling radiating from your back toward your toes? This may be an indicator of a herniated disc causing your symptoms. We can effectively diagnose and manage this with the appropriate therapy and medication regiment.
Football: ankle sprains and fractures, ACL ruptures, meniscus tears, clavicle fracture, shoulder dislocations and separations
Golf: medial epicondylitis, meniscus tears, hip labrum tears
Pickleball & Tennis: achilles tendon ruptures, lateral epicondylitis, meniscus tears, rotator cuff tears
Basketball: ACL ruptures, elbow dislocations, mallet finger, achilles tendon ruptures.
