Your Home for Orthopaedic Care

At Davis Spine & Orthopaedics, we focus on a wide range of orthopaedic care treatment areas. These include back and spine, arm and elbow, foot and ankle, hand and wrist, neck and shoulder, knee and leg, hip and pelvis, and more. Call today!

Neck & Shoulder

The shoulder areas are definitely susceptible to everyday injuries. Consistently carrying heavy purses, reaching or working above your head, sometimes even sleeping wrong ⁠— these can all cause problems. And, adding sports injuries caused by repetitive or excessive overhead motion like throwing, swimming, weightlifting or tennis, and it's no wonder that between seven and eight million people see their doctors each year for shoulder problems.

Our specialists can diagnose and correct shoulder problems accurately and quickly. Sometimes therapy is all you need, but sometimes orthopaedic surgery is necessary. Our providers will complete a thorough examination and possibly order x-rays, CAT scans, MRIs, and other tests to determine the scope of the injury and the best course of action to take.

Arm and Elbow

Common injuries to the arm and elbow can include fractures, sprains, tendon tears and dislocation.

We specialize in arm and elbow problems including sprains, fractures and other injuries as well as diseases and syndromes such as elbow bursitis, osteoarthritis, and tennis elbow. The elbow is a complicated joint. It is both a ball and socket joint and a hinge joint allowing two separate motions-bending and rotating.

Injuries to and dislocations of the elbow can affect either or both of these unique motions. At Davis Spine and Orthopaedics, our providers will complete a thorough evaluation and sometimes order x-ray, MRI or CT scans to diagnose your condition and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Foot and Ankle

Your feet and ankles are comprised of many bones and ligaments which means that there are many different injuries you can sustain in those areas.

For instance, you can fracture an ankle bone, a heel bone or even a toe bone. Because the ankle can be easily twisted or turned, sprained and broken ankles are very common. It’s hard to tell if you have a sprain or a break because the symptoms are very similar.

If you have an acute injury or chronic pain, come see one of our providers. We will perform a thorough evaluation and develop an appropriate treatment plan specific to your situation.

Hand and Wrist

The hand is made up of 27 bones. Your wrist has eight bones. Your palm has five (the metacarpals) and the fingers are made up of 14 bones called phalanges.

Fractures of the hand can happen in hand or finger bones. Breaks are usually the result of a fall in which you land on the hand, direct contact (usually during sports), or getting the hand crushed (in a door, window or machinery). Most hand fractures can be repaired without surgery. An orthopedist can realign the bones and a splint or cast can hold them in place. Some hand fractures will require surgery.

Fractures that break through the skin or injuries from crushing accidents will require orthopedic surgery and may require an orthopedic surgeon to use wires, screws or plates to hold the broken bones in place. If the bone changes position while healing, you may permanently lose some function. Delay of treatment could result in ongoing joint pain or permanent stiffness in a finger or joint. If you experience any of the following symptoms, schedule to be seen right away.

Hip and Pelvis

The hip is a ball and socket joint that allows the leg to flex and rotate at the pelvis.

A hip fracture is actually a break in the top quarter of the thigh bone (femur). An injury to the hip socket itself is not considered a “hip fracture”. Hip fractures are usually a result of a direct blow to the side of the hip commonly associated with a fall. If the bone is weakened by osteoporosis, cancer or stress injuries, the bone will break more easily. Symptoms include pain in the upper thigh and groin and severe joint pain when the hip is rotated or flexed.

Our providers determine if there is a break by ordering an x-ray of the area. Because these breaks are common in older adults who may not be healthy enough to undergo anesthesia, physicians may recommend bed rest instead of surgery. Otherwise, surgery will repair the damage. Often, screws and plates are necessary to hold the broken bones in place. In some cases, it may be necessary to replace the ball at the head of the femur or the entire ball and socket (acetabulum) may need to be replaced (total hip replacement).

Knee and Leg

The knee joint is made up of the lower end of the femur (thigh bone), the upper end of the tibia ( shin bone) and the patella (knee cap). Large ligaments attach to the bones and help control motion.

The meniscus is a wedge of cartilage located between the thigh and shin bones which acts as a cushion and a shock absorber.

The knee is the largest joint in the body and also one of the easiest to injure. It’s no wonder that joint pain problems are the most common reason to visit an orthopedic provider. The most common knee injuries involve pulled ligaments. There are four major ligaments found in the knee. They are the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament), the MCL (medial collateral ligament) and occasionally, the PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) and the LCL (Lateral Collateral Ligament).
