Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Diagnostic imaging employs different technologies to create visual representations of the interior of the body for diagnosis and treatment of disease and other health issues. Although everyone knows the original form of diagnostic imaging — the x-ray — today x-rays have been joined by CT scans, MRIs, PET scans, ultrasound, and other technologies to make a huge impact on diagnostic ability.
• MRI
  Medical ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves that are reflected by tissue to varying degrees. While ultrasound doesn’t provide the anatomical detail of CT or MRI, it can show moving structures in real time. Although associated with imaging of the fetus in pregnant women, ultrasound also is used for imaging of the abdominal organs, heart, breast, muscles, tendons, arteries, and veins.

• Computed Tomography
  CT scans use a combination of x-rays and a computer to create pictures of your organs, bones, and other tissues. CT scans show more detail than a regular x-ray. In a CT scan a narrow x-ray beam circles around the area being targeted, providing a series of images from many different angles. The computer then uses this information to create a cross-sectional picture. A number of these “slices” are produced and the computer stacks the scans to create a three-dimensional image. CT scans can give an excellent view of organs, bones, and blood vessels.

• Joint Replacement
  Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which parts of an arthritic or damaged joint are removed and replaced with a metal, plastic or ceramic device called a prosthesis. The prosthesis is designed to replicate the movement of a normal, healthy joint. Hip and knee replacements are the most commonly performed joint replacements, although replacement surgery can be performed on other joints, as well, including the ankle, wrist, shoulder, and elbow.
• Orthopedic Surgery
  Dr. Ellsworth received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Midwestern University in Glendale, AZ. He completed his Orthopedic Surgery Residency at Research Medical Center in Kansas City, MO.
• Hip Replacement
  Hip replacement is one of the most successful operations performed in the medical world. As we age as a population, the need is growing all the time. Hip replacement can make a real difference in the life of the patient, in effect allowing the person to return to a pain-free life once again.
• Knee Replacement
  In total knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, the damaged bone and cartilage from the patient’s shinbone, thighbone, and kneecap are cut away. An artificial joint made from metal alloys, high-grade plastics, and polymers replaces the removed areas. Now the knee can move and function again without pain.

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  Dr. Cornelsen received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Des Moines University, College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery. He completed his Orthopedic Surgery Residency at Millcreek Hospital in Erie, PA. Dr. Cornelsen finished his Fellowship in Orthopedic Sports Medicine at the Minnesota Orthopedic Sports Medicine Institute in Golden Valley, MN.
• Physical Therapy
  Orthopedic rehabilitation is a personalized post-treatment program that focuses on the specific improvements a patient needs to achieve. For example, physical therapy services during orthopedic rehabilitation can expedite healing after surgery and restore an adequate range of motion to an injured joint.
• Manual Therapy
  Physical therapy is an area of healthcare in which the focus is on the evaluation and treatment of various physical limitations. Services provided by a licensed physical therapist revolve around improving functional mobility after an injury. This may be accomplished using specific rehabilitative exercise, manual therapy, and numerous different modalities. For example, in addition to facilitating and overseeing the performance of functional exercises to improve mobility, a physical therapist may also utilize heat, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, or other therapeutic methods to restore proper body mechanics.
