Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis: This is an auto-immune disease in which the body’s immune system (the body’s way of fighting infection) attacks healthy joints, tissues, and organs. Occurring most often in women of childbearing age (15-44), this disease inflames the lining (or synovium) of joints. It can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of function in joints. When severe, rheumatoid arthritis can deform, or change, a joint. For example, the joints in a person’s finger can become deformed, causing the finger to bend or curve.
Plantar Fasciitis
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) estimates that two million people are treated for plantar fasciitis every year. Here’s everything you need to know about what causes it, who’s at risk, how to manage it, and much more.
Cryotherapy
New research has revealed a potential pitfall when it comes to the use of cryotherapy chambers to protect top flight footballers from injury. And the routine use of this extreme cold temperature treatment needs to be re-assessed. That’s according to new research led by experts from Liverpool Hope University.
Medical Weight Loss
The aim of this study is to compare, in a private health insurance setting, the clinical- and cost-effectiveness of a remotely-delivered, evidence- and theory-informed, behaviour change intervention targeting exercise and self-management (Exercise intervention), with the same intervention plus active weight management (Exercise plus weight management intervention), and with an information-only control group for people with knee osteoarthritis who are overweight or obese.
Pediatric Care
Perhaps there’s a black belt in your child’s future. But for safety’s sake, kids should only engage in noncontact forms of martial arts, a new American Academy of Pediatrics report says.
Primary Care
Student athletes usually need a sports physical. And the best place for that exam is at their primary care doctor’s office, according to updated guidelines from leading U.S. medical experts.
Family Practice
Intra-articular dextrose prolotherapy (DPT) injections are a safe and effective treatment for knee osteoarthritis, according to a study published in the May/June issue of the Annals of Family Medicine.
Emergency Care
In the general population, fractures of the fingers account for nearly half of all hand injuries seen in the emergency room. (1) When playing sports, fractures of the finger is a common injury with young men in the second to fourth decades of life most

Internal Medicine
Researchers from Karolinska Institutet have compared high dose exercise therapy versus low dose in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. The study published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine show that both groups had similar results. However, high dose exercise therapy provided superior outcomes related to function in sports and recreation in the short term, with results subsiding after six months.
Lung Cancer
Shoulder blade pain doesn’t always have an obvious cause. It can be a symptom of something serious like a heart attack or lung cancer. Or maybe you slept on it wrong or have poor posture at the computer.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Acute or chronic injury: Injuries to the shoulder, knee and wrist joint such as cartilage tears, tendon tears, carpal tunnel syndrome

Depression
Mental Health
Psychological evaluation and therapy: Psychological counseling such as behavioral therapy improves your mental health and manages conditions such as stress and depression which can aggravate chronic pain. It is important to be physically as well as emotionally stable to manage chronic pain.

Ultrasound
We are proud to offer our patients this cutting-edge technology to help improve treatment outcomes. Ultrasound uses sound waves to visualize soft tissue such as muscles and tendons. Ultrasonography uses a probe containing one or more acoustic transducers to send pulses of sound into the patient. Whenever a sound wave encounters a material with a different density, part of the sound wave is reflected back to the probe and is detected as an echo. By performing ultrasound-guided procedures and exams in the office physicians can decrease time to diagnosis and care, increase the accuracy of injections, and minimize the use of ionizing radiation inpatient evaluation. All incision which substantially reduces recovery time and reduces the risk of infection for the patient.
MRI
Your doctor will diagnosis the condition after discussing symptoms and risk factors and examines the foot and ankle. Some of the diagnostic tests such as X-ray, MRI scan or bone scan may be required to confirm the fracture.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
The evaluation of the calcaneal fracture is done by imaging i.e., X-ray and CT scan. Based on the severity of the fracture, the doctor recommends the plan of treatment.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy and medications – Chemotherapy to treat cancer in children and continuous use of steroids for arthritis may affect bone growth.

General Surgery
After graduating magna cum laude from Brown University in Rhode Island, Dr. Franklin Chen pursued his studies at The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine where he earned his Medical Doctorate.

Arthroscopy
Some of the possible complications after arthroscopy include infection, phlebitis (clotting of blood in vein), excessive swelling, bleeding, blood vessel or nerve damage and instrument breakage.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Unicompartmental knee replacement is a minimally invasive surgery in which only the damaged compartment of the knee is replaced with an implant. It is also called a partial knee replacement. The knee can be divided into three compartments: patellofemoral, the compartment in front of the knee between the knee cap and thigh bone, medial compartment, on the inside portion of the knee, and lateral compartment which is the area on the outside portion of the knee joint.
Ankle Surgery
After ankle surgery, you will be instructed to avoid putting weight on the ankle by using crutches while walking for at least six weeks.
Bunion Surgery
A bunion, also called a hallux valgus, is an enlargement of bone or soft tissues around the joint at the base of the big toe that results in the formation of a bump. The bone that joins the big toe with the first metatarsal bone thickens and enlarges, tightening the tendons, which in turn causes the base of the big toe to angle out resulting in a painful bony deformity.
Joint Replacement
Elbow Joint Replacement, also referred to as Total Elbow Arthroplasty is an operative procedure to treat the symptoms of arthritis that have not responded to non-surgical treatments.
Hand Surgery
Dr. Chen joined Edison-Metuchen Orthopaedic Group in 1998. Since then, he has been recognized by America’s Registry and by New Jersey Top Doctors for distinction in the field of Orthopaedic Surgery. He has also worked within the industry to develop instruments pertinent to the field of Orthopaedic Surgery. He is a Fellow in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and a member of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH). He is board certified in Orthopaedic Surgery and has a CAQ (certificate of added qualifications) in the subspecialty of Hand Surgery.

Orthopedic Surgery
Bunions
Neurosurgery
The human nervous system comprises of the brain, spinal cord, autonomic nervous system, and the peripheral nerves. The peripheral nerves are cord-like structures and are made up of nerve fiber bundles that transmit sensory information from the body parts to the spinal cord.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure during which the internal structure of a joint is examined for diagnosis and treatment of problems inside the joint. In arthroscopic examination, a small incision is made in the patient’s skin through which pencil-sized instruments that have a small lens and lighting system (arthroscope) are passed. Arthroscope magnifies and illuminates the structures of the joint with the light that is transmitted through fiber optics. It is attached to a television camera and the interior of the joint is seen on the television monitor.
Hip Replacement
“He basically saved my life. So I love the guy. I was immobile and he did a hip replacement when I was 55 that changed my life. I moved and would travel across country again if I needed surgery.”
Knee Replacement
Femur fractures may be caused by high energy injuries such as a fall from height or a motor vehicle accident. Patients with osteoporosis, bone tumor or infections, or a history of knee replacement are more prone to femur fractures. In the elderly, even a simple fall from a standing position may result in a fracture as the bones tend to become weak and fragile with advancing age.
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee Arthroscopy is a common surgical procedure performed using an arthroscope, a viewing instrument, to look into the knee joint to diagnose or treat a knee problem. It is a relatively safe procedure and a majority of the patient’s discharge from the hospital on the same day of surgery.
Reconstructive Surgery
Dr. Nilesh Patel graduated from Stevens Institute of Technology. Continuing his education, Dr. Patel earned his medical degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Following Medical School, he completed his General Surgery internship and Orthopaedic Surgery residency at the State University of New York, Downstate (Formerly known as The State University of New York Health Science Center at Brooklyn). Dr. Patel received his subspecialty training in foot and ankle reconstructive surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Sports injuries occur when playing indoor or outdoor sports or while exercising. Sports injuries can result from accidents, inadequate training, improper use of protective devices, or insufficient stretching or warm-up exercises. The most common sports injuries are sprains and strains, fractures, and dislocations.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy focuses on the restoration of one’s physical function due to impairments from injury, disability, disease, pain or repetitive use injuries. Physical therapy focuses on decreasing pain, addressing muscle imbalances and movement impairments, educating patients, and promoting health, wellness and fitness.
Occupational Therapy
There is no cure for arthritis. Your doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory medicine. They may recommend occupational therapy or physiotherapy, which includes exercises and heat treatment. In severe cases, surgery may be suggested. The type of surgery will depend on your age and severity of the disease. In the elderly with severe arthritis, joint replacement can give good results.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder is a painful shoulder condition that limits movement and causes stiffness in the joint. It is also called adhesive capsulitis and may progress to the state where you may find it very hard to move your arm. Frozen shoulder is more common in older adults between 40 and 60 years, and occurs more often in women than men.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow is the common name used for the elbow condition called lateral epicondylitis. It is an overuse injury that causes inflammation of the tendons that attach to the bony prominence on the outside of the elbow (lateral epicondyle).It is a painful condition occurring from repeated muscle contractions at the forearm that leads to inflammation and micro tears in the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle.
Shoulder Pain
Ankle Sprain
Ankle injuries are very common in athletes and in people performing physical work, often resulting in severe pain and impaired mobility. Pain after ankle injuries can either be from a torn ligament and is called ankle sprain or from a broken bone which is called ankle fracture. Ankle fracture is a painful condition where there is a break in one or more bones forming the ankle joint. The ankle joint is stabilized by different ligaments and other soft tissues, which may also be injured during an ankle fracture.
