What We Offer
Healing for a better world.
ARTHRITIS
The pain of arthritis can be debilitating. When that pain is combined with restricted mobility, arthritis can impair your daily activities, making the condition downright disabling.
ELBOW & KNEE
Your elbows and knees are complex and compact hinge joints. Proper functioning of both are necessary to move your legs and arms, allowing you to move and interact with the world around you on a daily basis.
FOOT & ANKLE
Taking care of your feet is paramount to being able to lead an active, fulfilling life. After all, if your feet are not healthy, it can prevent you from walking, working, and engaging in physical activities
HAND & WRIST
You may be surprised to learn about the orthopedic conditions that can affect your wrist and hand. These problems are quite common because of the large number of bones
JOINT REPLACEMENT
Sometimes, the best way to eliminate your joint pain and restore your mobility is with surgery. Ask your Movement Orthopedics provider if you are a good candidate for a surgical approach to either preserve or replace a problematic joint.
SHOULDER & HIP
Your hips and shoulders absorb a lot of impact as you move around and use your body. Each of these joints is a true powerhouse, providing you stability and balance while allowing an amazing range of motion.
SPORTS MEDICINE
No matter how careful you are on the field or how often you train, it’s likely you will experience an acute or chronic sports injury at some point in time. When that happens, you need the best care possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment aimed at a quick recovery.
TRAUMA AND FRACTURES
Although your bones have some flexibility, when excessive force is placed on a bone, it can break. This is called a fracture. Bones can break partially or completely, and in any number of ways. When a broken bone pierces the skin, it is called an open fracture.
