General Practitioners

• Osteoporosis
• Arthritis
  Joint injections have been used for many years in the treatment of pain and inflammation of the joints. They can be used to treat patients suffering from some forms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis, as well as those afflicted with gout. Although steroids are often what is used in joint injections to reduce the joint inflammation, viscosupplementation treatments with hyaluronic acid, such as Synvisc and Supartz injections, may also be performed. The goal of joint injections is to slow the progression of inflammatory conditions, and in the case of viscosupplements, replace lost fluid that lubricates the joints. They can be particularly beneficial for patients suffering from arthritis and osteoarthritis; however, they may also be useful for patients afflicted with other joint diseases and even those who have suffered from injury.
• Plantar Fasciitis
  Sometimes, the connective tissue between the sole of the foot and the heel bone can become inflamed and cause pain and discomfort. Although this condition often improves by itself, medication, shoe inserts, and stretching exercises can help alleviate the pain. However, more severe cases may need steroid injections or walking casts to treat the condition, and prolonged cases of heel pain may require surgery.
• Medical Weight Loss
  Those who are overweight may find that extra pressure on their joints is painful and makes it difficult to exercise, which is why weight loss can sometimes be an effective method for easing joint pain. Plus, research shows that carrying extra weight can speed the breakdown of cartilage in certain joints, like the knees. Regularly performing low-impact exercise may also provide some relief from pain and reduced mobility. Whether it is biking, walking, or visiting a physical therapist, strengthening the muscles that support a joint can often preserve its function. Wearing a brace or orthotics may also be helpful for some candidates. Anti-inflammatory medication is another option that may help control joint discomfort that affects daily activities.
• Primary Care
  If you suspect that you have a broken bone, you should schedule a visit with your primary care physician or an experienced orthopaedic foot surgeon. In the meantime, rest the injured foot or ankle, apply ice, wrap the area to minimize swelling, and elevate the leg above the heart.
• Emergency Care
  All-Star Orthopaedics offers urgent care for those needing immediate medical attention for a variety of injuries. Whether you’ve experienced a sprain, ligament tear, dislocation, or other injury, our team is available for same-day appointments to help you get the prompt treatment you need. This means you can see one of our board-certified orthopaedic surgeons without the wait time associated with a visit to the emergency room (ER) or urgent care clinic.
• Diarrhea
  Sciatica is caused by a protruding disc in the lower spine that presses against the sciatic nerve. The condition, most commonly found in patients between 30 and 50 years old, can range considerably in severity, with some cases presenting as mild soreness and weakness and others as incapacitating leg pain and bladder or bowel incontinence. Epidural injections, pain medication, and physical therapy can be helpful for sciatica depending on the prevalence of the symptoms, and surgery is seldom needed (though it can be helpful in emergency cases, such as when numbness is experienced in the groin area).

Gynecologists

• Pregnancy

Neurologists

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  Sometimes other conditions besides arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome can cause discomfort in the hands and wrists. Conditions such as DeQuervain’s tenosynovitis and Dupuytren’s contracture can cause just as much pain even though they are not as well known. Dr. Hahn is skilled at identifying the source of the symptoms and will work to alleviate the condition without surgery if at all possible.
• Multiple Sclerosis
  Constant numbness and tingling in various parts of the body, particularly the hands, can be caused by sports or work-related injuries that you may not even know you’ve suffered until the symptoms begin. Numbness and tingling in the hands and fingers are very common, and they are typically caused by nerves in the wrist being compressed by structures that surround them. This can happen as the result of repetitive motion and work that requires the excessive use of your hands. Carpal tunnel syndrome is often the diagnosis in cases of hand numbness and tingling; however, there are many factors that can cause the condition, and it can affect other body parts as well. These factors include: remaining in the same position for an extended period of time, lack of blood supply to the area, nerve injury, pressure on spinal nerves, herniated disk, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, stroke, thyroid conditions, migraines, certain medications, vitamin deficiency, and others.

• Ultrasound
  In many cases, imaging tests will be conducted to provide a closer look at the injured body area. These tests may include X-ray, MRI, CT, or ultrasound scans, which can all offer an in-depth view of your injury. Based on this imaging, your doctor should be able to diagnose your sports injury. If you have a mild injury, such as a sprain or strain, you will most likely be advised to rest the area and potentially wear a splint. After this initial period, if your injury does not seem to be getting better, a more advanced treatment option may be explored.
• MRI
  To determine the most appropriate and least invasive treatment option for your needs, your orthopaedic surgeon will perform a thorough evaluation to understand the extent of your shoulder damage. This process will involve a review of your medical history, a physical examination to assess your shoulder mobility and strength, X-rays to view the damage around the joint, and potential other tests like an MRI or bone scan. Based on the results of your evaluation, your surgeon will discuss whether a non-surgical option is likely to provide optimal improvement, or if surgical intervention may be necessary.

• Whiplash
  Although whiplash may seem like a minor concern, it can lead to the development of chronic issues and even disability when left untreated. Whiplash is often caused by car accidents or similar incidents, and can manifest as stiffness or pain in the neck, dizziness, shoulder pain, headaches, memory issues, and several other signs. Common treatments for mild to moderate whiplash include physical therapy, pain relievers, and the use of heat and ice, whereas more severe or chronic whiplash may require surgery.
• Arthroscopy
  While the majority of the above conditions only require surgery in extreme cases, several types of hand and wrist surgeries are available for those with severe concerns. When such procedures are performed by a qualified surgeon, they can be extremely effective in restoring function to the hand and significantly easing discomfort. For instance, carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis can often be addressed with arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgery in which a small camera is inserted into the affected joint. From there, the surgeon watches from a monitor as he or she repairs the tissues of the wrist. In addition, a fracture may be treated with external fixation surgery, which involves the use of a specialized fixator to keep the fracture in place. The specific type of surgery recommended will be based on each patient’s unique concerns and conditions, and all options will be presented and explained before a treatment plan is developed. Dr. Hahn will decide upon the best course of action after a thorough examination of your condition.
• Pinched Nerve
  Known medically as “cervical radiculopathy,” a pinched nerve in the neck is often the result of a vertebrae or cervical vertebra injury near the nerve root, which can result from a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or other internal issues. The condition may manifest not only as neck pain or numbness, but sometimes as weakness or numbness in the arms or hands. A pinched nerve in the neck is usually first addressed with physical therapy and sometimes pain medication, but if therapy does not work after around 12 weeks, surgery may be necessary to restore function and reduce pain.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery
• Ankle Surgery
  The recovery period after foot and ankle surgery will vary for each patient based on the specific surgery they have undergone. In general, patients will need to reduce their activity to rest their foot. It is normal to experience some degree of pain, swelling, and bruising. Taking anti-inflammatory medications, keeping the leg lifted, and icing the foot can all help control these side effects. Patients will need to return for follow-up appointments to monitor their healing progress. More personalized details relating to a patient’s surgery and recovery will be discussed with them prior to their procedure so they understand how to prepare and what to expect. If there are any concerns of infection or other complications, patients are urged to call our office to schedule an evaluation.
• Joint Replacement
  Areas of the body such as the knees, wrists, and hips can be severely affected by a number of conditions that limit range of motion and cause significant pain and discomfort. Cartilage of the joints can become worn down or damaged by trauma and disease, ultimately having an effect on your way of life. Joint replacement and other procedures involving treatment of damaged joints require extremely skilled and experienced joint replacement surgeons. At All-Star Orthopaedics, Drs. Thomas M. Schott, Mark S. Greenberg, Bing S. Tsay, and Kevin M. Honig offer state-of-the-art techniques to help you reduce pain and improve mobility in areas affected by arthritis and other conditions.

• Physical Therapy
  Sometimes, when we least expect it, our vital and active lifestyles can be interrupted by physiological conditions we can’t control. Whether injury, disease, or common wear and tear is the cause, physical conditions that affect our normal daily lives can be exhausting and debilitative on both the body and the mind... and they can often get worse if left untreated. At All-Star Orthopaedics, our orthopaedic surgeons and staff of physical therapists and assistants are committed to helping you improve these conditions and get back living the lifestyle to which you are accustomed. We offer a variety of specialty treatment designed to improve both common and uncommon orthopaedic afflictions. We also assure our patients that surgery is the very last resort. A number of different treatment avenues, including medicine and physical therapy, will be examined before surgery is recommended.
• Occupational Therapy
  Cumulative trauma disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis develop over time as a result of repeated movements or motions that cause swelling or inflammation. These conditions are treated with splints, medications, steroid injections, and physical and/or occupational therapy.
• Tennis Elbow
  Tennis elbow is a common condition that develops when the tendon that is attached to the outside of the elbow is irritated or inflamed. Although the injury affects the area near the elbow, the condition is caused by motions that involve the repetitive twisting of the wrist or forearm, such as playing tennis or using a screwdriver. Treatment includes topical analgesics, cortisone injections, and oral anti-inflammatory medicines. In some severe cases, surgery is necessary to repair the damaged tissue.
• Shoulder Pain
• Heel Pain
• Ankle Sprain
  When the foot rolls, turns, or twists beyond its normal abilities, a sprained ankle is often the result. Ankle sprains typically occur when the foot lands in an odd position and with great force, causing stretched ligaments and sometimes an actual tearing of elastic fibers. Pain, swelling, and trouble walking are common symptoms from this very common injury. Depending on the severity of the sprain, most ankle sprains need only time and adequate protection to heal. Rest and elevation of the ankle, along with ice and compression are often recommended. Sometimes immobilization and/or crutches may be necessary. Medication can help with pain and swelling in many cases of ankle sprain. Severe sprains may require physical therapy, casting, and – only in rare cases – surgery. Ankle sprains can often be prevented by properly warming up before exercise, paying close attention to surfaces while walking, and wearing good, comfortable shoes.
• Neck Pain
• Back Pain
• Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

Podiatrists

• Achilles Tendonitis
  Shin splints, muscle cramps and strains, and Achilles tendonitis are examples of common conditions affecting the calf and shin region. Sudden injury or overuse can lead to pain and swelling in this area, although most concerns can be addressed non-surgically.
• Ankle Sprain
  Physical Therapy: Physical therapy may be recommended to help restore a healthy range of motion and strengthen weakness, such as after an ankle sprain.
• Bunions Problems
  Bunions are typically enlarged joints in the big toe which can become very swollen and painful. Usually caused by ill-fitting shoes or an inherited genetic trait, bunions can often be treated by wearing shoes that conform to your foot and do not cause undue stress on the toe. Painful symptoms may be treated by various shoe inserts and padding. Severe cases of bunions may require surgery.
• Hammertoes
  A hammertoe is characterized by a deformity of the second, third, or fourth toe. The toe is bent at the middle joint, and can be aggravated by ill-fitting shoes. Pain may be felt along the top or bottom of the toe, and can lead to the development of a hard corn in the area. Better-fitting shoes can often lessen the pain from hammertoe, and shoe pads or inserts may also be beneficial. Surgery may become necessary if non-surgical options are not helping.
• Heel Pain
• Foot Injuries
• Plantar Fasciitis
  Steroid Injections: Also known as cortisone shots, steroid injections can work to reduce swelling, stiffness, and pain by addressing inflammation in the foot and ankle. This treatment is often recommended for conditions like plantar fasciitis and Morton’s Neuroma.
