Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Knee problems are very common, and anyone can have them. Mechanical knee problems are caused by a direct blow or sudden movement that strains the knee, or osteoarthritis, resulting from wear and tear on the parts. Inflammatory knee problems can result from certain rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus). These diseases cause swelling that can damage the knees permanently.
Fibromyalgia
Primary Care
When preparing for your first appointment at Carolina Regional Orthopaedics, make certain to check with your insurance company to follow their rules for a specialist referral. It would facilitate your evaluation if you would either bring or forward a copy of your medical records. You may need to sign a “Release of Medical Records” request form from your current doctor. This should be done ASAP. If the appointment is less than a week away you may want to ask your primary care physician for a copy of your medical records to hand carry to your first appointment.
Emergency Care
Critical criteria to consider before choosing a specific wound dressing are cleaning, absorbing, regulating, and the need to add medication. Choosing a dressing, guided by the cost, ease of application, and clinician’s preference, is essential. No need to wait for care for your wound in the hospital emergency room or clinic – reach out today for an appointment. Our wound experts can help you manage your wounds on an on-going basis to ensure proper healing happens.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. A narrow, rigid passageway of ligament and bones at the base of the hand—houses the median nerve and the tendons that bend the fingers. The median nerve provides feeling to the palm side of the thumb and to the index, middle, and part of the ring fingers (although not the little finger). It also controls some small muscles at the base of the thumb.
Multiple Sclerosis
MRIs can be taken on any part of the body. An MRI of the brain and spinal cord is used to show blood vessel damage, brain injury, cancer, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and strokes. Bone and joint MRIs are used to discover bone infections, cancer, damage to joints, and disc problems in the spine.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
Since every joint in the body is susceptible to arthritis and chronic pain, sometimes cortisone and/or anesthetic injection directly into the joint is necessary for relief. Arthritis is one or several pain management treatments our hand care specialists help relieve. Some of these joint injections may be performed using the guidance of our state-of-the-art ultrasound or X-ray guidance called fluoroscopy, which lets the physician see moving internal structures to determine exactly where the medication needs to be directed.
MRI
A magnetic resonance imaging test (MRI) is used to diagnose a disease or injury by using powerful magnets, radio waves, and a computer. These are used to create a detailed picture of the body without using radiation. An MRI can also be used to see how well a patient is responding to treatment.
X-Rays
Iontophoresis

Orthopedics
We are an outpatient physical therapy clinic providing rehabilitation services in the Rocky Mount community. While we specialize in orthopedics, we also treat other musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, including sports injuries, chronic pain, obesity, arthritic pain, work-related injuries, and trauma. We strongly believe the physical therapy treatment plan should be a collaborative effort from the physician/provider, patient, and therapist.
Sciatica
Sciatica is a pain that radiates from the low back down a lower extremity; it is caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve transmits sensation from the lower extremities and lumbar area of the low back. It is common for people to recover from sciatica without a surgical operation. Low back pain that radiates to the hip, buttock, and down a lower extremity is the most common symptom of sciatica. Sometimes sciatica pain worsens with bending at the waist, coughing, sitting, or sneezing. Sciatica can also cause tingling, numbness, or weakness of the leg. Sciatica symptoms can occur rapidly and persist for weeks.
Arthroscopy
Depending on the location of your pain and injuries, your CRO Doctor may recommend various diagnostics such as a knee arthroscopy – also called knee scoping – a minor surgical procedure used for both diagnosing and treating the knee. Other possible treatment options include physical therapy and rest. However, if you’re suffering from painful symptoms associated with soft tissue or cartilage damage, orthopedic surgery may be recommended. Treatment will depend on the severity of your condition. Severe damage to a knee may require a combined surgical reconstruction.
Wound Care
One of our wound care treatment specialists will be the caregiver to assess changes in a patient’s skin and initiate wound care. Managing this, including wound care, can be challenging as patients present with diverse disorders and tissue damage can range from superficial to deep. But by applying a few basic principles, starting with a skin and wound assessment, our doctor can simplify the process and determine an appropriate treatment plan. The assessment should include the following components...
Pinched Nerve
An Electromyogram (EMG) is an electrical test for the muscles and nerves. There are two types of EMG tests, the Nerve Conduction Studies, and the Needle Examination. These tests can be done in-office and take on average between 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the extensiveness of the test. A physician may order an EMG for a patient who is having problems with their muscles or nerves. More specifically, for a patient who has a pinched nerve in the back or neck, tingling or numbness in the arms or legs, and weakness of the muscle or fatigue.
Joint Replacement
Joint replacement of the hand and wrist are very similar to a knee or hip replacement. The damaged joints are replaced by a prosthetic joint that can be made of Silicone, Polyethylene, Titanium, or Pyrocarbon. It is less common for the joints to be replaced in the hands or wrist, because the bone structure of the hand is small and complex, making the surgery more challenging. Since the joint replacement is a major surgery, some things to consider before deciding on the surgery are the recovery time, age, pain, and disability. Surgery may be a good idea if you cannot complete regular daily tasks without assistance, have significant pain every day, pain does not go away when you rest, non-surgical approaches do not provide pain management, or pain keeps you awake at night.
Hand Surgery
Hand pain, injury, and complications can be one of the most debilitating injuries impacting every part of your life. The doctors, surgeons, and staff at Carolina Regional Orthopaedics & Pain Management take wrist, hand, and elbow pain seriously. The human hand and wrist are wonderfully elaborate and complex. Because of this complexity, many types of injuries can occur, most of which we can treat without surgery. Hand surgery is sometimes the best route to restoring full functionality as quickly as possible. We use a full range of surgical and non-surgical methods to help you restore the full functionality of your hands, wrist, and elbow so we can beat the pain holding you back.
Orthopedic Surgery
Carolina Regional Orthopaedics, PA provides the most effective, modern, and innovative techniques in Orthopedic Surgery, Pain Management and Wound Healing.
Arthroscopy
Hip Replacement
If your CRO hip doctor believes that your injury or health condition has damaged your hip joint, they will recommend a surgical procedure to replace the joint. During hip surgery, your surgeon removes damaged parts of the hip joint and replaces them with artificial parts to restore function and reduce pain. Hip replacement is also known as total hip arthroplasty. If nonsurgical treatments have not been effective, hip replacement may be your best option.
Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement, also called total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the worn out or damaged surfaces of the knee joint is removed and replaced with an artificial prosthesis.
Knee Arthroscopy
Reconstructive Surgery

Plastic Surgeons

Laparoscopic Surgery
If you’ve recently injured your knee and think you may be dealing with a fracture, you can turn to Advanced Orthopedics & Sports Medicine for prompt diagnosis and treatment. We offer comprehensive on-site imaging services, as well as surgical and nonsurgical treatments. From custom braces and physical therapy to medication management and laparoscopic surgery, we offer the latest therapies for common and complex knee injuries. To have your knee evaluated by one of our orthopedic physicians, contact us today.

Ulcer
Location can provide information regarding possible causes of the wound. For example, a wound over the sacral area in a bedbound or immobile patient could be a pressure injury, a wound in a lower extremity with accompanying edema could be a venous ulcer, and a wound on the plantar surface of the foot may be a neuropathic ulcer.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Sports medicine doctors and physical therapists focus on helping you return to your sports or occupational practice as soon as possible while also helping you to incorporate new techniques and lifestyle choices toward preventing future issues.
Physical Therapy
There are many treatment options for shoulder injuries and each one will depend on the specific injury or pain issue. Your CRO Shoulder Doctor may consider a variety of treatment modalities, depending on the type of injury and your medical history. Anti-inflammatory medications, injections, and physical therapy may be suggested. Rehabilitation may also involve working with a shoulder surgeon. Shoulder injuries may be associated with an underlying medical condition, such as impingement syndrome. A CRO Doctor can diagnose your issues based on your symptoms and recommend an appropriate treatment – reach out today for an appointment.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition in which the movement of the shoulder becomes limited. Frozen shoulder occurs when the strong connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint (called the shoulder joint capsule) becomes thick, stiff, and inflamed. (The joint capsule contains the ligaments that attach the top of the upper arm bone [humeral head] to the shoulder socket [glenoid], firmly holding the joint in place. This is more commonly known as the “ball and socket” joint.)
Tennis Elbow
Orthopedic doctors specialize in treating pain and injuries related to the hand, wrist, or elbow singularly, or our CRO doctors can treat two or more issues at once. When people have hand pain they often also have wrist pain. Or a person with hand pain might find their wrists and elbows are not so much of an issue as prominent finger pain. Having pain in both the hand and shoulder also plagues many people who seek out orthopedic treatment. Elbow injuries have more of a tendency to be stand-alone issues due to sports or occupational overuse – like when we see issues with tennis elbow (inflammation of the outer elbow) or golfer’s elbow (inflammation of the inner elbow).
Slipped Disc
A herniated disc is often referred to as a slipped disc. This term came from the action of the nuclear tissue when it is forced from the center of the disc. The nuclear tissue located in the center of the disc can be placed under so much pressure that it can cause the annulus to rupture.
