Bunions
Poor-fitting, narrow shoes cause toes to be compressed and can lead to bunions, but patients can treat bunions by having them removed.
Learn MoreBursitis Pain
There are several different ways that Bursitis can be treated. Many of the treatments involve addressing the swelling and inflammation that is present within the bursae, which are pockets of fluids in the body that are meant to reduce friction between tissues and large joints.
Learn MoreCarpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome starts gradually with a slight aching in the wrist that can extend to the hand and forearm. Patients can treat carpal tunnel syndrome with a variety of procedures, including endoscopic carpel tunnel release surgery.
Learn MoreChronic Pain
Chronic pain can be difficult to diagnose and treat, and when pain becomes a patient’s daily companion, his or her quality of life can be greatly diminished.
Learn MoreCompression Fracture
Tiny fractures can develop in the spine, and when enough of them occur, they can eventually cause the vertebral body to weaken and eventually collapse.
Learn MoreEpidural Steroid Injection
An epidural steroid injection treats nerve irritation caused by nearby tissues pressing on the nerve. The inflamed nerve root is bathed in steroids, an anti-inflammation medicine, to decrease the irritation of the nerve root that is causing the pain.
Learn MoreEsophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer is cancer that occurs in the esophagus, the long, hollow tube that runs from your throat to your stomach. Esophageal cancer begins in the cells that line the inside of the esophagus and can occur anywhere in the esophagus.
Learn MoreEsophageal Varices
Portal hypertension causes blood to be rerouted and pushed into smaller veins that cannot handle increased blood flow. This can result in the development of large, swollen veins or varices, in the stomach, rectum, umbilical area or esophagus.
Learn MoreEsophagitis and Stricture
Esophagitis is a general term for any inflammation, irritation or swelling of the esophagus, which is the tube that leads from the back of the mouth to the stomach.
Learn MoreExtremity Pain
An extremity is a limb or appendage of the body such as the hands, legs or feet. Some extremity pain can develop over time, due to wear and tear and the effects of aging. Other types of extremity pain can come on suddenly.
Learn MoreFacet Pain
Each section of the spine has facet joints, which are located between the vertebrae. When they are located in the neck, they are called cervical facet joints.
Learn MoreFibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a disorder that affects the muscles and soft tissue and causes chronic pain and fatigue. It’s characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain that is joined by extreme fatigue, excessive sleep, and memory and mood issues.
Learn MoreHammer Toes
Hammer toe usually affects the second toe, although it may also affect the other toes. The toe goes into a claw-like position.
Learn MoreHeadaches
Identifing the cause and type of headaches you are experiencing is key to determining the best treatment option. Using this information, a treatment plan is developed that may include non-pharmaceutical treatments, such as acupuncture, massage, relaxation techniques, aromatherapy, dietary supplements, as well as other physical therapy treatments.
Learn MoreHeel Spurs (Plantar Fasciitis)
Heel pain is extremely common and often begins without injury. Inflammation of the connective tissue on the sole of the foot (plantar fascia) where it attaches to the heel bone is the most common cause of pain. It is often associated with a bony protrusion (heel spur) seen on X-ray studies.
Learn MoreJoint Injections
Joint injections are used to manage chronic pain associated with joint disorders. The most common joint conditions in which injections are used as treatment include arthritis, adhesive capsulitis, joint trauma, gout and rotator cuff disease.
Learn MoreJoint Pain
Joint pain is indicated in many conditions, including injuries, rheumatoid arthritis, sprains and strains. Pain can range from mild and occasional to severe and chronic.
Learn MoreOrthopedic Injuries
If you break, sprain or otherwise injure a bone, the symptoms may not always be clear. The area may be bruised or swollen, even if at first glance it is unclear whether there is a fracture. Patients can also experience numbing, tingling or even paralysis below the fracture. Sprains can occur in any joint, and even though the joint continues to function normally, there should be some swelling, pain and tenderness.
Learn MoreOsteoporosis
Anyone can develop osteoporosis, which makes bones brittle and more likely to break, but it is more common in older women. This disease progresses silently, and, in fact, most people remain undiagnosed until a bone breaks.
Learn MoreRotator Cuff Repair
Rotator cuff repair is performed to fix a torn shoulder tendon or remove a bone spur. It can be performed with a large incision or with shoulder arthroscopy using many small incisions.
Learn MoreSacroliitis/Sacroiliac joint pain
Sacroiliitis joint dysfunction is the inflammation of one or both of your sacroiliac joints, which are situated where the lower spine and pelvis connect. Sacroiliitis has been linked to a group of diseases causing inflammatory arthritis in the spine.
Learn MoreSinusitis
Sinusitis occurs when the sinuses are infected or inflamed. The sinuses are hollow air spaces within the bones surrounding the nose. The sinuses produce mucus, which drains into the nose. But if the nose is swollen, the sinuses can block and cause pain and infection.
