ORTHOPEDIC CARE

At Jefferson County Health Center, we understand the vital role that your musculoskeletal system plays in your daily life. Our Orthopedic Care services provide comprehensive care for a wide range of orthopedic conditions, from common injuries to complex cases. We are here to help you regain your mobility, reduce pain, and improve your overall quality of life. 

What is orthopedic care?

Orthopedic care focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions and injuries related to the musculoskeletal system, which includes your bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Whether you are dealing with a sports injury, arthritis, or chronic joint pain, JCHC Orthopedic Care is here to help.

Our Orthopedic Specialist is highly skilled in diagnosing and treating a variety of orthopedic conditions including:

  • Joint Pain: targeted treatment for knee, hip and shoulder pain
  • Fractures: seamless healing processes to mend fractured and broken bones
  • Arthritis: effective management strategies for various types of arthritis to alleviate pain and preserve joint function
  • Sports Injuries: treatment of sprains, strains, and more severe injuries

Available Treatment Options

At JCHC we can provide a wide spectrum of treatment options, ranging from non-surgical to surgical interventions. Our Orthopedic Specialist will work with you to determine a treatment plan that is tailored specifically to your needs and may include:

  • Ultrasound-Guided Injections: These advanced injections provide precise, targeted treatment for joint pain and inflammation. Using real-time imaging, we ensure the medication is delivered exactly where it is needed, improving accuracy, effectiveness, and comfort for patients.
  • Diagnostic Shoulder Imaging: This specialized diagnostic tool allows our orthopedic surgeon to assess shoulder injuries and conditions with exceptional detail. By offering on-site imaging, we can quickly diagnose issues and develop effective treatment plans without necessary delays.
  • Anterior Hip Replacement: Unlike traditional hip replacement techniques, anterior hp replacement is performed using a minimally invasive approach through the front of the hip. This method reduces muscle disruption, leads to faster recovery times, less post-operative pain, and allows for quicker return to normal activities.
  • Joint Replacement Surgery: Comprehensive care for hip, knee, and shoulder replacements, designed to restore function and alleviate pain caused by arthritis or injury.
  • Fracture Care: Expert treatment and management for fractures and broken bones, including casting, surgery, and rehabilitation to ensure proper healing.
  • Sports Injury Treatment: Specialized care for athletes and active individuals, focusing on injury prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation to get you back in the game.
