Specialized Solutions for Every Condition
From inflammatory issues to neurological disorders, our specialized treatments aim to manage and alleviate the symptoms of various conditions.
Orthopedic Treatments We Offer
Tendonitis, or tendinitis, is the inflammation of a tendon, typically caused by repetitive activities or overuse.
Tendonitis treatments include rest, ice therapy, NSAIDs for pain and inflammation, physical therapy to strengthen the affected area, corticosteroid injections, PRP therapy, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), bracing or splinting, ultrasound therapy, and in severe cases, surgery. Lifestyle modifications are also recommended to prevent recurrence.
Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more joints, leading to symptoms such as joint pain and stiffness.
Arthritis is an inflammatory condition affecting the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. It can significantly impact daily activities and mobility.
Our specialized team provides comprehensive treatment options to manage arthritis symptoms, aiming to improve joint function and enhance quality of life.
Bursitis is the inflammation of fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion joints, causing pain, swelling, and limited movement.
Elbow bursitis causes pain and swelling due to inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that cushions the elbow. Treatment usually involves rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medications, but severe cases might need physical therapy or steroid injections. Non-surgical options are always prioritized.
Hip bursitis occurs when the bursa (a fluid-filled sac) around the hip joint becomes inflamed, causing pain in the outer hip, thigh, or buttocks, especially when touched or lying on the side. Initial treatment typically involves rest, physical therapy, NSAIDs, and corticosteroid injections; surgery is considered if these methods don’t help.
Nerve injuries can occur due to many reasons, including trauma, medical conditions, autoinmune diseases, infectious diseases, thermal injury, etc.
Nerve injuries can cause pain, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness.
While some may heal on their own, more severe cases might need a specialist’s care, including physical therapy, medication, or surgery.
Carpal tunnel ending is a common condition caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist’s carpal tunnel, resulting in numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand and forearm.
Cubital tunnel ending, or ulnar nerve entrapment, happens when the ulnar nerve in your elbow gets compressed or irritated. This can cause numbness and tingling in your pinky and ring fingers, along with pain. It often develops from habits like frequently ending your elbows, leaning on them, or after an injury.
Radiculopathy is caused by the compression or irritation of nerve roots in the spine.
This condition, depending on where the nerve root is affected, can result in symptoms such as perceived limb and spine pain, extremity weakness, numbness, tingling, burning, or “electrical shocks”.
Treatments may involve physical therapy, medications, diagnostic and therapeutic injections such as an epidural, minimally invasive interventional surgical procedures such as a MILD procedure or an endoscopic discectomy, or, in severe cases, open exposure type surgeries to relieve pressure on the affected nerve such as a total disk replacement.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of radiculopathy, our expert team can help diagnose and provide the right treatment to alleviate your discomfort.
Peripheral nerve entrapment occurs when a peripheral nerve becomes compressed between surrounding structures, causing pain, tingling, burning, numbness or weakness in a particular extremity.
This condition commonly affects the upper extremities, where nerves are more superficial and vulnerable to compression.
Treatment typically includes physical therapy, medications, diagnostic and therapeutic injections or surgical intervention to release the trapped nerve and restore function.
If you’re struggling with symptoms of nerve entrapment, our specialized care team is here to offer the most effective treatment options tailored to your needs.
PCS occurs when symptoms of a concussion persist for weeks, months, or even longer after the initial head injury.
Typically, a concussion, which is a mild traumatic brain injury, resolves within a few days or weeks. However, in PCS, the brain’s healing process may take longer, leading to ongoing symptoms.
Some causes of PCS include:
At UOC, we provide comprehensive care for Post-Concussive Syndrome, focusing on symptom management, cognitive rehabilitation, and tailored treatments to help patients recover fully.
Yes, each of our locations takes pride in being registered with the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and achieving accreditation by The Joint Commission. With these two associations, we ensure our patients receive the highest-quality care coupled with detailed attention to patient safety throughout the process.
Surgery is usually arranged 3 to 4 weeks after your visit with the surgen. This time interval allows to complete any required medical clearances and lab work. That said, we understand the impact of severe pain and can often expedite the surgery date if required.
Although every patient in situation is unique, often times a minimally invasive surgical approach may be available. At University Orthopedic Care, our surgeons utilize the most advanced approaches for numerous benefits:
Choosing the right orthopedic specialist is essential for optimal recovery, and experience plays a critical role in achieving the best outcomes.
Look for a specialist with board certification and advanced fellowship training in relevant areas like joint replacement or complex fracture care.
At University Orthopedic Care, our board-certified experts bring years of experience and utilize cutting-edge technology to treat a variety of conditions. We specialize in managing traumatic injuries and offer a comprehensive range of treatments, including minimally invasive procedures and regenerative medicine.
