General Practitioners

• Osteoporosis
• Arthritis
• Plantar Fasciitis
  Many patients describe issues of pain in the back of their foot at the heel, which most often relates to an underlying medical condition such as bursitis, a fracture, plantar fasciitis, and more.
• Pediatric Care
  At North Alabama Bone & Joint Clinic, we treat patients from Muscle Shoals and across the region for a variety of musculoskeletal problems–including adult reconstructive surgery (hip, knee, and shoulder replacement), sports medicine, hand and foot surgery, pediatrics, fracture care, chronic pain, and back pain treatment.
• Primary Care
  The rehabilitation therapy aspect of physiatry focuses on teaching patients how to be as self-sufficient as possible. One example of this would be teaching a patient who uses a wheelchair how to transfer themselves from the chair to the bed. However, the goals of rehabilitation can go beyond this and work toward reinstating the full function of the body. It is important to remember that physiatry involves a holistic patient care approach provided by a team comprised of medical professionals, the patient, and their support structure. The entire team must work toward a common goal to be successful. The medical professional portion of the team can include neurologists, orthopaedic surgeons, psychiatrists, back surgeons, occupational therapists, physical therapists, social workers, dietitians, and primary care professionals.

Surgeons

  If you experienced whiplash in an automobile accident, it can stretch ligaments and cause spine problems. If the pain becomes chronic or gets worse, see a spine specialist.
• Arthroscopy
  An arthroscopic procedure is beneficial to both diagnosing as well as treating conditions of the foot or ankle. Arthroscopic surgery involves making a very small incision, where a probe equipped with a medical grade camera is then placed and guided to give us a clear view at the internal structures of the foot. Your physician may recommend an arthroscopy of the foot or ankle if you suffer from one of the following conditions...
