One of the ways in which we can help address your symptoms is through physical therapy. During physical therapy we will go through several different types of exercises designed to alleviate pain and other symptoms while improving mobility and range of motion. These exercises will be tailored to your specific condition, the type and severity of your symptoms, and your lifestyle and activity level.

If you’ve tried a host of nonsurgical treatment options or if there is extensive damage then our orthopaedic physicians may recommend getting surgery. While our goal is to provide you with the care and treatment you need to prevent surgery, there are some cases in which surgery may be the best way to repair the damage and improve how your body functions as a whole. Of course, before undergoing surgery we will discuss in detail what you can expect before, during and after surgery, as some rehabilitation is usually required after surgery.
