Non-Surgical Orthopedic Services

Most patients with orthopedic injuries do not require surgery. Injuries may stem from trauma, age, or overuse. In many situations, physical therapy, medication, and injections can greatly help your condition. Depending on your needs, your non-operative treatment approach might include injections, rehabilitation (Physical and Occupational Therapy) or a combination of both. The Rehabilitation Center offers a comprehensive array of services from highly trained orthopedic physical therapists whose patients’ functional outcomes rank in the top 5% in the nation.
