Testing & Diagnosis
Your care begins with a diagnosis of your injury or condition. To find the reason for your symptoms, a health care professional may:
- Perform a physical exam, watch how you do certain tasks, and check what movements cause pain
- Order imaging tests to look for problems in your bones, joints, or muscles
Your doctor will explain the results to you and recommend next steps, including any treatments.
Treatments & Therapies
Expect the best possible outcome from doctors who specialize in the type of service you need, such as:
- Sports medicine – Care for athletic injuries and help to exercise safely and compete at the top of your game
- Spine care – Back and neck therapy, pain-relieving injections, and spine surgery using 3D navigation to improve your outcome
- Joint replacement – Exchange of a worn-out hip, knee, or shoulder with a long-lasting artificial implant that feels natural
- Trauma care – Repair of fractures (broken bones) with casts, splints, and sometimes surgery
Rehabilitation
After an injury or surgery, rebuild your strength and ease pain with rehabilitation. With our wide range of services, you’ll find a program tailored to your needs and preferences. Work with your therapist to design a care plan that meets your goals and helps you return to your favorite activities.
