Emergency Care
At Lakeshore Bone & Joint Institute, we know that injuries occur when you least expect them. That’s why our doctors and physician assistants are proud to offer a walk-in Orthopedic Urgent Care at our Crown Point and Portage locations to treat patients who are suffering from acute bone, joint, and muscle injuries.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Allowing for a large amount of movement and dexterity, the hands are comprised of a variety of bones, muscles, nerves, and ligaments. Because of this, they are not only vital to a patient's independence but also prone to injury and pain due to their constant use. Hand pain occurs for a variety of reasons. Some patients can experience pain from repetitive stress injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome. Others have chronic pain from arthritis, which is the result of the bones and tissues deteriorating over time. Traumatic injuries are yet another source of hand pain, such as when an individual breaks a bone catching themselves during a fall or jams a finger during a sporting event. When a person suffers from a hand or wrist injury, it can interrupt their life and daily routines. An experienced hand doctor has the expertise to evaluate a wide range of hand injuries and conditions and offer treatment solutions to help reduce or eliminate pain.

Mental Health
The most important decision you will make regarding your care is finding an experienced doctor who can expertly address and help treat your mental health or cognitive-behavioral issues.

MRI
“I can’t say enough good stuff about Dr. Tyndall! He’s the best! I had a discectomy and fusion on my neck in May. Then in September he did the same to my lumbar spine. I’ve been to many Drs for my pain and other symptoms. I was Told it was always something else. I found Dr Tyndall myself after doing research for a spine Specialist. I got in quickly. He listened and ordered x rays and MRI of my total spine. Found the cause of all my pain and numbness. He explained it all and answered every question I had! I have allergies and he took great care to be sure I’d not have any reactions to sutures and bandages. I’m great full for that! He’s easy to talk to and has a great sense of humor! Look him up! He’s worth it! Look him up you’ll be impressed!!”

Lakeshore Bone & Joint Institute is often featured in area news media as a recognized expert in orthopedics. Be sure to bookmark this page and check back often to see the latest news and events on Lakeshore Bone & Joint Institute.
Sciatica
Whiplash
In identifying what causes neck pain, it's helpful to understand how the head impacts the neck. On average, an adult's head weighs approximately 8 to 10 pounds. The neck is responsible for supporting this weight as the head turns, nods, and tilts, along with the other frequent movements it makes on a daily basis. If the neck is damaged or injured, the pain is worse because of this additional weight. Neck pain is fairly widespread and can be the result of a traumatic injury, like whiplash, or a medical condition, like arthritis. Neck doctors have extensive knowledge of the neck and provide accurate diagnoses and viable treatment options to help patients get back to their active lifestyles.
Arthroscopy
Wound Care
Pinched Nerve
The back is an intricate structure that can be strained by heavy work and taxed even more with sports and leisure activities. Back pain is fairly common among people of all ages, ranging from a person who picked up a heavy item too quickly and strained a muscle to a person with shooting pains in their lower back and legs from a pinched nerve. Many back problems can resolve on their own and respond well to physical therapy, bracing, or pain management. Sometimes, however, back pain is ongoing and the damage will not correct without surgery. If this is the case, the pain and condition or injury can continue to worsen unless that patient gets proper medical treatment. With a deep understanding of back issues, experienced back doctors know how to identify the causes of back pain and can offer solutions ranging from medications and exercises to therapies and state-of-the-art surgical procedures.
Ankle Surgery
Many ankle problems can be treated through conservative treatment methods. However, there are some cases where surgery is the best option for providing patients full relief and restoring normal function. If ankle surgery is deemed necessary, our surgeons have performed hundreds of complex foot and ankle surgeries and returned patients to their lives, functioning at their highest capacity. Our ankle surgeons specialize in a variety of surgical procedures, which include...

Frozen Shoulder
Tennis Elbow
The elbow is a hinge joint that allows for the arm to twist and move in different directions. Elbow injuries can be painful and come in many forms that adversely affect people of all ages and lifestyles. Patients commonly experience overuse injuries, like golfer's elbow or tennis elbow, which are the result of an individual doing a particular action over and over again, such as swinging a golf club. Pain can also occur from arthritis, wear-and-tear issues, or a traumatic injury, such as a fracture. With their specialized knowledge and expertise, elbows doctors can assist patients with elbow pain by providing a diagnosis and offering treatment options in order to alleviate pain and restore function.

General Podiatry
Podiatry is the medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and lower extremity. The foot and ankle work together to not only support the body's weight but also to allow us to perform a variety of movements and activities. They are both complicated structures that contain numerous bones, tendons, muscles, and ligaments, all of which can be at risk for damage and injury. Experienced podiatrists understand the complexities associated with the foot and ankle and can effectively evaluate many foot and ankle problems. They educate patients on the different treatment options so the patient is better prepared to make decisions regarding their health and well-being.
Achilles Tendonitis
Ankle Instability
Ankle Sprain
The foot and ankle work together in unison to help support the weight of the body and allow us to stand, walk, run, move, and flex in a variety of ways. They are both highly complex structures, so when the foot or ankle is injured, it can have a big effect on a patient's everyday routine. Ankle injuries are common among people of all ages and can develop for a variety of reasons. Whether the injury happens because of a sports-related accident, a trip or fall, or the regular wear and tear that happens to joints over time, ankle issues can cause significant pain. Because there are so many structures within an ankle that can be damaged or injured, from tendons and bones to muscles and ligaments to the joint itself, ankle injuries should be treated by an experienced ankle doctor. They understand the complexities and can provide treatment options to help patients return to their active lifestyles.
