General orthopaedics is the medical specialty that treats both injuries and diseases of the body’s musculoskeletal system. Areas of injury include the bones, joints and nerves as well as soft tissue injuries to ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
General Orthopaedists have a broad knowledge base on the musculoskeletal system and how both injuries and disease can have a negative impact on its system. Their goal is to treat the injury or disease in such a manner that the patient can have a full recovery. Orthopaedic doctors will use medical, rehabilitative, exercise, and surgical solutions in order to treat the injury or disease.
Performance Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine offers on-site digital X-Ray imaging to provide our patients with the quickest and most convenient orthopaedic care. Patients who come to our clinic are dealing with musculoskeletal injuries and disease and benefit from the in-office use of diagnostic imaging. The sooner our orthopaedic surgeons can view images of the injured area, the faster we can diagnose conditions and recommend treatment options.
Our diagnostic imaging helps our orthopaedic doctors discover problems, such as arthritis, fractures and broken bones. Once we find the problem, we can start working on the solutions. We also consider our patients’ safety, which is why our state-of-the-art equipment provides high quality images with reduced exposure to radiation.
