Hip
The hip is a ball and socket joint that is highly stable, and able to withstand enormous forces of pressure and trauma. Repetitive activities such as running, jumping, or climbing can cause injury or degeneration of the joint and surrounding tissues. Hip pain can often be confused with back or knee pain that radiates to the hip. We can help you isolate the cause of your hip pain and formulate a treatment plan that finds your needs..
Knee
The most common cause of chronic knee pain is osteoarthritis. Due to injury or age-related degeneration, cartilage within the knee begins to wear away, resulting in inflammation and pain. Oftentimes, conservative treatment options may be useful in relieving stiffness and pain, however in the event these methods do not resolve the problem, partial or total knee surgery might be recommended.
Shoulder

An integral part of successful treatment is understanding every element of the treatment and recovery process.
