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

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
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia. This chronic disorder causes pain throughout the tissues that support and move the bones and joints. Pain, stiffness, and localized tender points occur in the muscles and tendons, particularly those of the neck, spine, shoulders, and hips. Fatigue and sleep disturbances may also occur.
Plantar Fasciitis
Medical Weight Loss
Polymyalgia Rheumatica. Because this disease involves tendons, muscles, ligaments, and tissues around the joint, symptoms often include pain, aching, and morning stiffness in the shoulders, hips, neck, and lower back. It is sometimes the first sign of giant cell arteritis, a disease of the arteries characterized by inflammation, weakness, weight loss, and fever.
Nutritional Counseling
What if you already have arthritis? — Are diet and nutrition still such a simple matter? Can what you eat cure your arthritis? Can certain foods prevent it from occurring? Are there foods that can cause your arthritis to ‘flare’ or go into remission? What role do vitamins and nutritional supplements play in the treatment of arthritis? Will losing (or gaining) weight help ease your symptoms? Will taking powerful anti-arthritic medications affect your appetite or your ability to eat certain foods?
Family Practice
Emergency Care
Hannah Oliver Leasure is a Louisville native and alumna of St. Margaret Mary and Manual Highschool. Following her college graduation from the University of Kentucky, she worked at Norton Audubon Emergency Department as a nursing assistant for one year. She then moved to Atlanta, GA and completed her Master's of Medical Science in Physician Assistant studies at Mercer University. Once a PA, she worked for a gastroenterology practice in Atlanta for the next 13 months. During this time she married her high school sweetheart and soon after they moved back to Louisville to be closer to family and friends. She began working for Ellis and Badenhausen in March 2023. She is a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) and Physician Assistants in Orthopaedic Surgery (PAOS). In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and dog; cooking, and staying active.

Gastroenterology

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common, painful, progressive condition that is caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist area.

Ultrasound
The Dr. Rudy J. Ellis Sports Medicine Center was established in 1981 to provide accelerated rehab for acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries to patients in the Louisville area. Our physical therapists (PT) and physical therapy assistants (PTA) are trained in the treatment of a wide variety of orthopaedic procedures including ligament reconstructions, cartilage resurfacing/implantation, labral repairs of the hip and shoulder, fractures, sports injuries, arthritis, sprains/strains, as well as other orthopaedic injuries. They use a wide range of modalities and therapeutic techniques to expedite your recovery after an injury, surgery or other painful condition. Our staff is trained in kinesiology taping, Dry Needling (DN), Blood Flow Restriction training (BFR), cold laser therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, Graston/IASTM (instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization), Primal Reflex Release Techniques (PRRT), Functional Movement Screen (FMS), and mechanical traction for the neck and back. We also provide clinical outreach to many high schools within the Jefferson County area. We employ certified athletic trainers who spend time helping injured athletes in Louisville involved in a number of sports throughout the year.
MRI
Diagnosing joint injuries and disease begins with a thorough medical history, physical examination, and usually X-rays. Additional tests such as an MRI or CT scan also may be needed. Through the arthroscope, a final diagnosis is made which may be more accurate than through “open” surgery or from X-ray studies.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography

General Surgery
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in which an arthroscope is inserted into a joint. Arthroscopy is a term that comes from two Greek words, arthro-, meaning joint, and -skopein, meaning to examine.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Elbow arthroscopy, also referred to as keyhole or minimally-invasive surgery, is performed through tiny incisions to evaluate and treat several elbow conditions.
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
However, as the disease worsens, the joint surface becomes more and more permanently deformed to the point that usual treatments are not sufficient to allow decent quality of life. In these situations the only alternative may be joint replacement. Usually this means replacing the surface of the joint with man-made materials that allow the joint to move freely without the pain of arthritis. Hip and knee replacements have been performed for over 40 years with many technological advances during that time.
Hand Surgery
Orthopedic Surgery
Arthroscopy
The benefits of arthroscopy involve smaller incisions, faster healing, a more rapid recovery, and less scarring. Arthroscopic surgical procedures are often performed on an outpatient basis and the patient is able to return home on the same day.
Hip Replacement
Dr. Griffin joined Ellis and Badenhausen Orthopaedics in 2019. Dr. Griffin specializes in adult hip and knee reconstruction as well as trauma and fracture care. He has particular interest and specialty in anterior hip replacement and outpatient hip and knee replacements. Dr. Griffin has begun integrating the developing field of robotic-assisted joint replacements into his practice.
Knee Replacement
Partial knee replacement can be done when damage to a knee from osteoarthritis is confined to one compartment. Only the damaged part of the knee is replaced. Partial knee replacement is being done for more young active people thanks to the quick and usually painless recovery.
Knee Arthroscopy

Cyst
Rashes
Psoriasis
Psoriatic Arthritis. Some people who have psoriasis, a common skin problem that causes scaling and rashes, also have arthritis. This disease often affects the joints at the ends of the fingers and can cause changes in the fingernails and toenails. Sometimes the spine can also be affected.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Currently the Dr. Rudy J. Ellis Sports Medicine Center provides clinical outreach for many high schools within the Jefferson County area. We employ six full time certified athletic trainers who volunteer their time to help injured athletes throughout Louisville in a number of sports. Some of the schools we currently work with are...
Physical Therapy
Ellis & Badenhausen Orthopaedics, PSC is dedicated to providing the Louisville community with the highest quality of orthopaedic and physical therapy service.
Occupational Therapy
There is no cure for arthritis, so beware of ‘miracle cures.’ 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, such as a hip or knee replacement. 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, also called adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by pain and loss of motion in shoulder joint. It is most common in adults 40-60 years old, and women are typically more affected by it 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. The condition is more common in sports activities such as tennis, painting, hammering, typing, gardening and playing musical instruments. Patients with tennis elbow experience elbow pain or burning that gradually worsens and results in a weakened grip.
Shoulder Pain
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
A sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments which connect adjacent bones and provide stability to a joint. An ankle sprain is a common injury that occurs when you suddenly fall or twist the joint or when you land your foot in an awkward position after a jump. Most commonly it occurs when you participate in sports or when you jump or run on a surface that is irregular. Ankle sprains can cause pain, swelling, tenderness, bruising, stiffness, and inability to walk or bear weight on the ankle.
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendon is a strong fibrous cord present behind the ankle that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It is used when you walk, run and jump. The Achilles tendon injuries are most often in athletes participating in sports that involve running are pivoting and jumping. Recreational sports that may cause Achilles rupture include tennis, football, basketball and gymnastics.
Ankle Sprain
Foot and ankle injuries include the injuries in the leg below the knee, and they are common in athletes and while playing sports such as football, hockey and skating. Common sports injuries to the foot and ankle include sprains and strains, ankle fractures, and Achilles tendinitis. Treatment for these conditions may include orthotics, braces, physical therapy, injections or surgery.
Heel Pain
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis refers to inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that lies at the bottom of the foot. It runs from the heel bone to the toe and forms the arch of your foot. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It is most often seen in middle-aged men and women, but may also occur in those who are constantly on their feet, such as soldiers.
