Arthritis
We Treat Complex Arthritis Conditions and Disorders
This disorder can affect one joint or multiple joints. Over 100 different types of arthritis have been identified, but the two most common types of arthritis are: osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Arthritis is most commonly found in adults over the age of 65, but can also develop in children, teenagers, and young adults. Arthritis is more common in women and in people who are overweight. Symptoms typically develop over time.

Elbow

Foot & Ankle
We Treat Complex Foot & Ankle Conditions and Disorders
The human foot and ankle are anatomical wonders. Comprised of 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than a hundred muscles, tendons, and ligaments, these structures carry your body weight as well as absorbing the shock of each step you take. During an average day of walking, the forces on your feet can total hundreds of tons, roughly equal to a fully loaded cement truck.

Hip
We Treat Complex Hip Conditions and Disorders
The hip is a ball-and-socket type joint. The thigh bone (femur) has a ball-shaped knob on the end that fits into a socket formed in the hip bone. The hip joint is a major weight-bearing joint, supporting a stress load of up to five times your body weight when you are walking.

Knee
We Treat Complex Knee Conditions and Disorders
Our knee is the largest joint in our body. It’s also the most vulnerable because it bears our weight while providing flexible movement. When we walk, our knees support 1.5 times our body weight. When climbing stairs, the pressure on our knees is about 3 to 4 times our body weight. And squatting puts about 8 times our weight on this joint.

Shoulder
We Treat Complex Shoulder Conditions and Disorders
The shoulder has a wider and more varied range of motion than any other joint in your body. Your shoulder allows you to do everything from painting the house to playing basketball, but this flexibility also makes the shoulder one of the most unstable joints in the body.

Spine
We Treat Complex Spine Conditions and Disorders
The spine is one of the most important and heavily used parts of the body. It plays a vital role in overall health and quality of life. The spinal column is the body’s central support structure, carrying the weight of the head, torso, and arms. It allows people to stand upright, bend, twist, and move in any direction they please. Even more importantly, the spinal column houses the body’s spinal cord.
