Common Conditions Treated by Our Orthopedic Team

Arthritis

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints and one of the most common reasons patients seek orthopedic care. Osteoarthritis develops as joint cartilage gradually breaks down over time, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that causes the immune system to attack joint tissue. Both can cause significant pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion that limit daily activity.

Sports Injuries

Sports injuries range from acute trauma (a torn ligament, a fracture, a dislocated joint) to overuse conditions that develop gradually through repetitive strain. They affect athletes at every level as well as individuals whose work or daily routines place sustained physical demands on the body. With an accurate diagnosis and a targeted treatment plan, most patients are able to return to the activity level they had before the injury.

Rotator Cuff Tears

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons that stabilize the shoulder and enable overhead arm movement. Tears can occur suddenly from a fall or heavy lift, or develop gradually through years of repetitive overhead activity. Symptoms often include shoulder weakness, pain at rest, and difficulty raising the arm, and treatment ranges from physical therapy and injections to arthroscopic surgical repair depending on severity.

Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, develops when the tissue surrounding the shoulder joint thickens and tightens, progressively restricting movement in all directions. The condition tends to come on slowly and can persist for a year or more without appropriate care. Treatment may include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, and minimally invasive procedures to restore range of motion.

Meniscus Injuries

The meniscus is a wedge-shaped piece of cartilage in the knee that cushions and stabilizes the joint during movement. Tears most often occur during activities that involve twisting, pivoting, or sudden stops and typically cause pain, swelling, and difficulty fully extending the leg. Treatment depends on the size and location of the tear and ranges from conservative rehabilitation to arthroscopic surgery.

Ligament Injuries

Ligaments connect bones across a joint and provide the stability needed for safe, controlled movement. Sprains and full tears most commonly affect the knee, ankle, and wrist and vary in severity from mild stretching to complete rupture. Treatment is guided by the extent of the injury and may involve bracing and physical therapy or, for more significant tears, surgical reconstruction.

Tendonitis

Tendonitis is inflammation of a tendon, typically caused by repetitive movement or a sudden increase in activity. It most commonly affects the shoulder, elbow, knee, and heel, producing localized pain and tenderness that worsens with use. Most cases respond well to rest, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory treatment, though persistent cases may benefit from corticosteroid injections or other targeted interventions.

Repetitive Strain Injuries

Repetitive strain injuries develop over time from cumulative stress placed on muscles, tendons, and nerves through sustained or recurring physical activity. Symptoms build gradually and can include pain, weakness, numbness, and loss of function in the affected area. Seeking care early is important, as these conditions are significantly more manageable when addressed before they become chronic.
