If you’re facing the prospect of surgery for a sports injury or other issue, we may be able to help you with minimally invasive surgery. It is done with fewer, smaller cuts and special tools to reduce pain and speed up recovery.
It’s a type of outpatient surgery. This means you’ll go home the same day and get better faster.
We work with a wide range of specialists, including:
- Orthopedic surgeons
- Pediatricians
- Physical therapists
- Spine surgeons
- Sports medicine doctors
A physical therapist helps you recover and regain movement through exercises and therapy. An orthopedic surgeon performs operations to fix bone, joint and muscle problems.
You should see an orthopedic specialist if you have ongoing pain, an injury that won’t heal or problems moving your joints and muscles.
Arthroscopic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery where a tiny camera is used to see inside your joint and fix problems like torn ligaments or cartilage.
In hip replacement surgery, your damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial one made of metal and plastic. This helps reduce pain and improve movement.
Lumbar spine surgery is done to fix problems in your lower back, like herniated discs or spinal stenosis. It can help reduce pain and improve your ability to move.
