As the most comprehensive orthopaedic team in the state, we know the road to recovery doesn’t always start with surgery. While conditions like complex fractures, ligament tears, and severe cartilage damage often require a surgical procedure, almost all strains, sprains and pulls (and even most fractures) can be treated conservatively, through a variety of non-invasive options.
To customize your treatment, our experts get to know you, your injury and your goals for the future. Then, we create a personalized care plan – designed to strengthen your body, restore your function and increase your range of motion. So, whether you want to get back in the game or take away your pain, nonsurgical treatment can bring you back to your optimal performance level. And our highly trained specialists are always here to help.
