Treatments

Neurological & Spine Injuries

Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion 

A surgical procedure to treat nerve root or spinal cord compression by decompressing the spinal cord and nerve roots of the cervical spine with a discectomy, followed by inter-vertebral fusion to stabilize the corresponding vertebrae. This procedure is used when other non-surgical treatments have failed. 

Carpal Tunnel Release 

procedure in which the transverse carpal ligament is divided. It is a surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and recommended when there is constant numbness, muscle weakness, or atrophy, and when night-splinting no longer controls intermittent symptoms of pain in the carpal tunnel.

Cervical Discectomy

A surgical procedure to treat nerve root or spinal cord compression by decompressing the spinal cord and nerve roots of the cervical spine with a discectomy, followed by inter-vertebral fusion to stabilize the corresponding vertebrae. This procedure is used when other non-surgical treatments have failed.

Lumbar Decompression & Discectomy

Surgery performed to relieve nerve-root compression caused by a herniated disc.This procedure is used when other non-surgical treatments have failed.

Spinal Fusion

Also referred to as spondylodesis or spondylosyndesis, is a neurosurgical or orthopedic surgical technique that joins two or more vertebrae. This procedure can be performed at any level in the spine (cervical, thoracic, or lumbar) and prevents movement between the fused vertebrae. There are many types of spinal fusion and each technique involves using bone grafting—either from the patient (autograft), donor (allograft), or artificial bone substitutes—to help the bones heal together.

Total Disc Replacement

A surgical procedure in which degenerated inter-vertebral discs in the spinal column are replaced with artificial disc implants in the lumbar (lower) or cervical (upper) spine. The procedure is used to treat chronic, severe low back pain and cervical pain from degenerative disc disease.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI)

Also known as an intracranial injury, is an injury to the brain caused by an external force. It is classified based on severity, mechanism (closed or penetrating head injury) or other features (e.g., occurring in a specific location or over a widespread area). TBI can result in physical, cognitive, social, emotional and behavioral symptoms, and outcomes can range from complete recovery to permanent disability or death.

Sports Medicine

ACL Reconstruction

The surgical tissue graft replacement of the anterior cruciate ligament, located in the knee, to restore its function after an injury. The torn ligament can either be removed from the knee or preserved (where the graft is passed inside the preserved ruptured native ligament) before reconstruction an arthroscopic procedure.

Biceps Tenodesis

The release of the long head of the biceps tendon off of its insertion on the glenoid and re-attachment by screw or suture anchor fixation to the humerus.

Bone Fracture or Dislocation

A medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break or dislocation in the continuity of the bone. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several pieces.

Hip Arthroscopy

The viewing of the interior of the acetabulofemoral (hip) joint through an arthroscope and the treatment of hip pathology through a minimally invasive approach.

Joint Reconstruction

A form of arthroplasty, and is often indicated from various joint diseases, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Joint replacement surgery is becoming more common with knees and hips replaced most often.

Knee Arthroscopy

A minimally invasive surgical procedure on a knee joint in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damage is performed using an arthroscope, an endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision.

Meniscus Repair

Torn or ruptured meniscus occurs in the fibrocartilage strips in the knee called menisci. When doctors and patients refer to “torn cartilage” in the knee, they actually may be referring to an injury to a meniscus at the top of one of the tibiae.

ORIF & Closed Reduction

Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) involves the implementation of implants to guide the healing process of a bone, as well as the open reduction, or setting, of the bone. Open reduction refers to open surgery to set bones, as is necessary for some fractures.

Interventional Pain Management

Epidural Steroid Injection

A technique in which corticosteroids and a local anesthetic are injected into the epidural space around the spinal cord in an effort to improve spinal stenosis, spinal disc herniation, or both.

Facet Joint Injections

A minimally invasive outpatient procedure used to alleviate symptoms of Facet syndrome. Patients are able to return home the same day as the procedure.

Intraarticular Joint Injection

A procedure used in the treatment of inflammatory joint conditions. A hypodermic needle is injected into the affected joint where it delivers a dose of any one of many anti-inflammatory agents, the most common of which are corticosteroids. Hyaluronic acid, because of its high viscosity, is sometimes used to replace bursa fluids. The technique may be used to also withdraw excess fluid from the joint.

Medial Branch Block

Also referred to as nerve block. A procedure in which an anesthetic is injected near medial nerves connected to a facet joint. 

Platelet-rich Plasma

A concentrate of platelet-rich plasma protein derived from a patient's own whole blood and used at the site of an injury to accelerate healing.

Rhizotomy

Also known as a selective dorsal rhizotomy, dorsal rhizotomy, or a selective posterior rhizotomy, is a neurosurgical procedure that selectively destroys problematic nerve roots in the spinal cord. 

Sacroiliac Joint Injection

Performed to decrease chronic back pain that developed due to an injured or inflamed sacroiliac joint.

Trigger Point Injections

Performed to treat painful areas of muscle that contain knots of muscle, referred to as trigger points, that form when muscles do not relax.

Rotator Cuff  Repair

Surgery to repair the muscles, connective tissue, or damaged joints that can arise from traumatic or overuse injuries to the shoulder.

Shoulder Arthroscopy

A minimally invasive surgical procedure on a shoulder joint in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damage is performed using an arthroscope, an endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision.

Therapeutic & Diagnostic Arthroscopy

A minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows the surgeon to view inside a joint through a small incision in the skin and other soft tissues. It is used to diagnose and treat various types of injuries.
