Warts
Arthritis
Unlike osteoarthritis, this type of arthritis does not erode the cartilage slowly, rather it inflames the joint (usually many joints at one time) until the joints are ruined. Rheumatoid arthritis is most common in middle aged women, but can affect people of all ages.
Plantar Fasciitis
Medical Weight Loss
The key to keeping a hip problem at bay is to stay relatively active and to eat right. The most recent government report notes that 56 percent of Americans are overweight. This is bad news for our hips and knees.
Primary Care
If your insurance requires a referral from your primary care physician, please call your doctor to obtain that referral each time you are scheduled to be seen. Referrals are the responsibility of the patient and if one is not available at appointment time, rescheduling will be necessary.
Emergency Care
Loss of control of the bowel or bladder and retention of urine may indicate damage to the spine's cauda equina nerves. The cauda equina is a bundle of nerves in the low back where the spinal cord ends. Damage to these nerves can be permanent if not treated immediately (within a day or so). See a spine specialist, or go to an emergency room if necessary.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
One of the only physical liabilities of having an office job is a hand injury in the form of carpal tunnel. Hands, arms and shoulders can also be hurt from sports injuries, arthritis, congenital deformities, and repetitive stress. The most common types of injuries are...

Ultrasound
Physical therapy increases flexibility and strengthens muscles that support the joint. Greater strength and flexibility will help prevent future joint issues. A therapist may use ultrasound, electrical stimulation, heat or ice, dry-needling, mobilization and exercises to reduce pain and the likelihood of future injury. Click here for more information.
MRI
Our orthopaedic specialists may order x-rays to help diagnose your condition. While relatively rare, arthritis is best seen with plain x-rays. The orthopaedic specialist may order an MRI to see if there is a problem that requires surgery.
Radiology
A small study by the Society of Interventional Radiology found that inserting micro-particles into small blood vessels around the knee reduced pain and improved function. The tiny micro-particles â€” spheres about a tenth of a millimeter in size â€” are made from a synthetic gel-like material. The micro-particles are inserted using a catheter run through a pinhole-sized incision, in a procedure that lasts between 45 and 90 minutes. While the research is preliminary, they have noted some patients experienced relief of symptoms from the procedure.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Next, the physician may have an MRI or x-ray image taken of your knee. An x-ray often times does not provide the clarity needed to see precisely what is wrong. In these instances, an MRI or CT-Scan is used. X-rays, for example, only show bones. MRI and CT-scans show soft tissues.

Orthopedics
Regenerative Medicine in the area of orthopedics is a new field of medicine that enables a patient to harness and amplify their own bodyâ€™s ability to heal itself using concentrated regenerative cells and growth factors. Stem cells are at the center of regenerative medicine and their use has continued to expand and gain mainstream exposure over the past few years. Stem cell therapy is a cutting-edge procedure that delivers concentrated cells and growth factors right to the point of injury stimulating a powerful healing response capable of regenerating and repairing tissue.
Scoliosis Surgery
Through the placement of hooks, rods and screws, a spinal curve can be corrected and stabilized. A fusion often follows scoliosis surgery, in order to maintain the correction permanently.
Arthroscopy
Minimally invasive techniques (also known as arthroscopy) and improved tools allow orthopedic surgeons to fix rotator cuff tears usually through 3-4 small incisions, less than 1/2 inch. The rotator cuff tear is repaired by suturing the torn tendon back to the humerus. Recovery is less painful and scars are less noticeable.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Surgeons now use special scopes fitted with cameras and cutting tools to access surgical sites. While it involves more training for the surgeon to use this new instrumentation and techniques, it is of great benefit to the patient. Minimally invasive surgery relates to all orthopedic areas, but most recently, there have been recent advances especially in the areas of joint replacement surgery.
Ankle Surgery
Whether someone injures their ankle in a single accident, or a long lifetime of ankle problems making it painful to walk, there are treatment options available.
Joint Replacement
Arthritis or injury can also damage the shoulder joint preventing a person from lifting their arm. In severe cases, the only treatment available is shoulder joint replacement surgery. Patients with bone-on-bone contact from damage or arthritic degeneration are typically good candidates for shoulder replacement surgery, where an artificial ball and socket implant is installed into the shoulder.

Corns
Corns are hardened, painful and raised calluses, most often on the side of the little toe, usually caused by shoes that cramp the toes. A foot specialist can remove them if necessary.

Lesions
Bone Scan - Bone imaging is used to detect infection, malignancy, fractures and arthritis in any part of the skeleton. Bone scans are also used for finding lesions for biopsy or excision.

Sports Medicine
The Sports Medicine program at Texal Health Care's Bone and Joint Clinic is a diversified program of prevention, evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation that assures a positive healthy recovery experience, an improved quality of life, a safe return to full athletic participation and continued athletic success. This same level of expertise is provided to every athlete that visits our practice.
Physical Therapy
Traditional treatments have employed stretching, compressive straps, physical therapy, ice, rest or activity modifications, along with anti-inflammatories like Advil or Nuprin.
Frozen Shoulder
In some cases, excessive use of the shoulder leads to inflammation and swelling of a bursa, a condition called bursitis. Bursas are often described as fluid-filled sacs located around the joints which lessen the friction caused by movement of the shoulder. Bursitis ususally occurs in association with rotator cuff tendinitis. Sometimes the many tissues in the shoulder become inflamed and painful, which in turn may limit the use of the shoulder. The joint may stiffen as a result, a condition known as a "frozen shoulder." The good news is that with appropriate care, this condition will usually resolve itself.
Tennis Elbow
Usually caused by overuse but sometimes a sudden impact, tennis elbow is a result of tiny, painful tears in the ligaments, and muscles around the elbow. The pain can radiate down the arm and is usually located on the outside of the elbow bone called the epicondyle. In the case of golfer's elbow, the pain is on the inside of the epicondyle. Usually those who experience this type of pain should avoid doing the activity that caused the pain (not just tennis, it can also be gardening, painting or any activity that causes repetitive stress on the arm). Continuing to perform an activity that incited the pain can cause pain to become worse and in some the cases, the elbow will become inflamed. Time is the best remedy to allow the tears to heal in the early stages. Anti-inflammatory medications like Advil can also be used as it helps to not only alleviate the pain, but also to reduce swelling in the arm. If pain persists, you may want to visit the doctor. Your doctor will be able to put you on a plan to help the pain go away and can offer strengthening exercises to help you get better.

Achilles Tendonitis
Ankle Sprain
For those with joint pain, sports medicine problems, shoulder pain, hand problems, hip and knee pain, foot and ankle injuries, who have exhausted nonsurgical treatment options, surgery may be the next step in resolving an orthopedic problem. Because surgery is a serious decision, it is a good idea to obtain a second opinion.
Bunions Problems
Bunions are tender lumps near joints around the toes, especially the big toe. A bunion or osteophyte can be removed surgically to relieve pain and restore joint motion. They are caused by improper foot wear and heredity, are quite common and it is estimated that more than 50 percent of women have them. Adolescents can also suffer from bunions. A bunion occurs when the bones that comprise the big toe of the foot begin to bend outwards. If left untreated, it can be very painful and can lead to arthritis. There are several ways to treat a bunion nonsurgically including through the use of special padding and shoe inserts to alleviate pain. Loose fitting shoes may also help for comfort and anti-inflammatory medication can cause swelling to go down. Also, soaking the foot in warm water can temporarily lessen the pain. Sometimes surgery is necessary and following surgery, the foot will be able to fit into any size shoe comfortably.
Calluses
Flat Feet
Hammertoes
Unfortunately, all those years of wearing high-heeled, fashionable shoes can catch up with you. Hammer toe or claw toe can develop in people for a variety of reasons, but generally, hammer toe stems from years of wearing confining shoes and a muscle imbalance while claw toe can be caused by confining foot wear, alcoholism, or diabetes. Hammertoes are when a toe bends up permanently at the middle joint.
Heel Spurs
If planter fasciitis is left untreated for too long, a calcium deposit called a heel spur may grow on the heel. These very painful growths are treated the same way planter fasciitis is treated.
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
Foot Injuries
Foot Orthotics
In some cases, knee pain can be alleviated by something as simple as using a foot orthotic or knee brace. Foot orthotics are orthopedic devices like insoles or supports that are usually custom fit to control the foot and correct imbalances. An orthotic foot support can raise the arch of the foot and realign the bones of the foot to prevent excess motion when you bear weight. Foot problems can sometimes cause ankle, knee, hip, and back problems.
Plantar Fasciitis
The three most common heel injuries at the bottom of the foot are stone bruises, plantar fasciitis, and heel spurs.
