What is Orthopaedics?

Orthopedics is a medical specialty focusing on the diagnosis, correction, prevention and treatment of patients with disorders of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves. These parts of the body make up the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedics is available for scheduled in-person appointments. Hours vary by provider. Please contact us to find available times.

When should I heat an injury?

Heat is generally used for muscle pain or stiffness. Never apply heat when swelling or inflammation is present. Minor stiffness or tension can usually be relieved after 15 to 20 minutes of direct heat, such as a heating pad.

When should I ice an injury?

Generally, ice should be used within the first 24-48 hours of an injury to reduce swelling and pain. Orthopedics is available for scheduled in-person appointments. Hours vary by provider.
