Arthritis
Arthritis is a Greek word applied to over 100 different diseases that affect our joints. It literally means â€œjoint (arthros) inflammation (itis).â€ These diseases attack our joint cartilage, breaking it down. The most common arthritis diagnoses are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Treatment is focused on reducing the inflammation in the joint.
Plantar Fasciitis
Medical Weight Loss
Early treatment for OA includes activity modification, weight reduction and stretching exercises to maintain joint motion. As the disease progresses, so does the pain. Early pain remedies include aspirin, Tylenol and ibuprofen. These are later substituted with more powerful anti-inflammatory drugs or even oral steroids for short courses. Joint injections of steroids or â€œlubricantsâ€ can also relieve pain.
Nutritional Counseling
While the primary focus in managing osteoporosis is prevention, once the condition is diagnosed, there are ways to treat the disease and reduce your fracture risk. Nutrition counseling and exercise will help to prevent additional bone loss and strengthen your muscles to support the bones. Medications are also available to increase bone mass and decrease your risk for fractures.
Primary Care
Most insurance companies cover total knee replacement because this is considered a medically necessary procedure. These companies will cover most of what goes into this procedure, but you may also have out-of-pocket expenses. To be insured for knee replacement, you may require your primary care doctor to write a referral to an orthopedic surgeon.
Emergency Care
For services rendered outside the Office, such as Emergency Room, we realize that payment cannot be made at that time. Therefore, on your following visit to our Office, payment is due on your recent outpatient treatment, as well as your Office visit.

MRI
Ultimately, whether youâ€™re a candidate for shoulder replacement surgery will vary depending on several factors, including your overall health, symptoms and medical history. During your evaluation, your doctor will perform a physical examination to assess the motion, strength and stability of your shoulder. Other tests, including an x-ray or MRI, may also be used to determine the condition of the shoulder bones and soft tissues.
Radiology
Diagnostic services include CT scans, MRI exams, radiology and arthroscopic examinations. Treatment for knee pain depends on the cause of the pain and its severity, your age, your activity level and your general health.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Imaging tests may be used to finalize the diagnosis and assess the severity of the curve. Some of the imaging tests used at the Orthopaedic Institute of Ohio include x-ray, CT scan and MRI.

Orthopedics
This procedure has a long history, dating back to the 1800s when surgeons used ivory to replace damaged knee joints. Advancements in orthopedics over the past three decades have helped make this one of the most successful procedures. According to data from the
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy allows us to see inside your knee joint without making a large incision. A surgeon inserts a narrow tube with a fiber-optic video camera through an incision approximately the size of a buttonhole. The view of the interior of your joint is transmitted to a video monitor so the surgeon can examine the internal structures for diagnostic purposes. Surgeons can also repair some types of damage using arthroscopic techniques, with pencil-thin surgical instruments inserted into the joint through additional small incisions.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
While minimally-invasive spine surgery offers a host of benefits, it is not the right approach for everyone. Patients that will require more complex repair or multiple areas of correction will likely still need open surgery to achieve an optimal outcome. Your physician will probably not recommend even minimally-invasive surgery until conservative treatments like medication or physical therapy have been tried and been shown to be ineffective. It is essential for patients to understand that while a surgeon may start performing a procedure using less invasive techniques, there is a possibility that open surgery will be needed to complete the operation correctly.
Ankle Surgery
Joint Replacement
At the Orthopaedic Institute of Ohio, our experienced physicians commit to giving patients an early diagnosis and a personalized arthritis treatment plan to help them get back to living a normal life. We offer a comprehensive range of arthritis treatment options, from nonsurgical therapies to surgical joint replacement. We tailor each treatment plan to the individual patient and their personal goals.
Bunions
Bunions are large, painful bumps that form on the outside of the foot next to the large joint in the big toe. They usually occur after wearing shoes with tight or pointed toes. Bunions are often treated by changing footwear and using orthotic devices. However, surgery is an option when conservative treatments donâ€™t offer sufficient relief.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive surgical method that allows our physicians to see inside the elbow joint through a camera and monitor. The development of arthroscopic techniques has made diagnosis, treatment and recovery from joint injuries easier and faster than was once possible. The healthcare professionals of Orthopaedic Institute of Ohio may recommend elbow arthroscopy as an alternative to traditional open surgery when an elbow injury or condition does not respond to nonsurgical treatment.
Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure with a high success rate, offering individuals restored mobility and freedom from pain in most cases. However, hip replacement does not always provide permanent results. In a patientâ€™s lifetime, the artificial joint might fail, necessitating another surgery to remove the damaged implant and replace it with a new device.
Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement surgery (also known as knee arthroplasty) is one of the most life-changing procedures in orthopedic medicine. For patients with severe knee damage, knee replacement can reduce pain and restore normal movement to the joint, immensely improving their quality of life. Hundreds of thousands of knee replacements are performed each year in the United States.
Knee Arthroscopy
You donâ€™t want a knee injury to keep you from doing the things you love. Knee arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure used to visualize, diagnose and treat knee joint problems. Arthroscopy has revolutionized the way joint injuries are treated and repaired by offering shorter hospital stays, reduced recovery time and less scarring.

Fungus
From fungus to stubborn ingrown nails, disorders affecting the toenails can be both embarrassing and painful. Prescription medication may be needed to eliminate a fungus. Ingrown nails that do not resolve on their own may involve the removal of a portion of the nail to relieve discomfort and medication to treat any associated infection.
Lesions
Other potential causes of spinal fractures might include cancer or benign lesions that can also weaken the vertebrae. Other factors that can lead to a loss of bone density involve drinking too much alcohol, smoking or lack of activity. Once a person has suffered one fracture, they are also more likely to experience more in the future.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
No matter what injury or condition is affecting your quality of life and your activity level, the sports medicine physicians at the Orthopaedic Institute of Ohio are trained to address your concerns and get you back in action as quickly as possible.
Physical Therapy
Your knee is one of the most important joints in your body. Unfortunately, itâ€™s also one of the most easily injured. Any part of its complex structure of bones, cartilage, ligaments and tendons can be damaged, causing issues with your ability to bear weight or move freely. Some of the most common knee injuries include fracture or dislocation of the kneecap, sprains and ligament tears. While some knee injuries are minor enough to heal with rest and physical therapy, others are debilitating and require surgery to regain complete function.
Occupational Therapy
When an injury or painful condition prevents you from participating in activities you enjoy, physical and occupational therapy may be a part of your treatment protocol. These programs are designed to restore your strength, range of motion, and ability to complete daily tasks so that you can live independently and with minimal pain. In some cases, the therapies are prescribed after surgery to help you recover quicker and more thoroughly. Other times, they may be recommended in place of surgery, to restore mobility without the need for an operation.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition caused by overuse of the joint. While it is frequently associated with athletes, it can also occur in people who perform repetitive motions at their jobs. Nonsurgical treatments are usually prescribed before considering a surgical correction.

Our physicians are trained in the most advanced techniques for the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, providing our patients with a full range of orthopaedic care.
Bunions Problems
Painful bumps known as bunions can form on the outer side of the big toe joint. The cause is often pointed or ill-fitting shoes that put stress on this area of the foot. In some cases, bunions can be effectively treated with orthotic devices, but other patients may require surgery to achieve long-lasting relief.
Hammertoes
Toe deformities can be caused by the abnormal position of the foot bones due to poor-fitting shoes or some diseases or injuries. These issues can cause considerable discomfort and lead to other problems over time. Surgery may be needed to correct the deformity and bring the toes back into proper alignment.
Heel Spurs
These bony growths are caused by calcium deposits that form on the bottom of the heel. They may be accompanied by pain, inflammation, warmth to the touch and swelling. However, some heel spurs are asymptomatic also. In most cases, heel spurs can be treated with conservative methods, but surgery may be recommended in severe cases.
