Radiologist

• Ultrasound
• MRI
  Unlike an X-ray, an MRI scan does not use radiation. By exerting a magnetic field, the MRI creates computer-generated images. The MRI is able to cut through multiple layers of tissues and show abnormalities in bone and soft tissues such as nerves, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and muscles. MRI can also be used to verify loss of water in a disc and cartilage, joint abnormalities, narrowing or stenosis or disk herniation. During an MRI test, you will lie on a table for approximately 40 minutes. The machine's scanner then takes many pictures that are monitored by a technician and recorded. The MRI Scanner at Minneapolis Orthpaedics is a low energy high resolution open sided scanner that produces extemely detailed images. Our equipment passes the strictest standards and is ICAMRL (Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Magnetic Resonance Laboratories) certified. The MRI Imaging Equipment employed at Minneapolis Orthopaedics is easily tolerated by people who are uncomfortable in closed spaces.

Surgeons

• Orthopedics
  After a recent bout of "wrestling" with the realities of a body that is slightly more aged than the spirit that occupies it, I found myself in need of x-rays and an orthopedist. A friend recommended I try Minneapolis Orthopedics. Since I am receptive to suggestion and have no real knowledge of ankles or the people that fix them, it wasn't long before I was teetering precariously in front of the reception desk at Dr. Becker's clinic, with all the hope in the world that I would soon enough be returned to fighting form.
• Joint Replacement

Our minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques for shoulder, hip and knee surgery reduce discomfort and scarring to return you to the active lifestyle you deserve.

• Physical Therapy
  Physical therapy or physiotherapy is often abbreviated as PT. Physical therapists provide services to individuals to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability. This includes providing services in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by aging, injury, disease, postoperative, or environmental factors. Functional mobility is central to what it means to be healthy.
• Manual Therapy
  PTs utilize specialized techniques under the direction of a medical physician and establish a rehabilitation management plan. PT management commonly includes prescription of or assistance with specific exercises, manual therapy, education and other interventions. Techniques include education, manual therapy, massage, laser treatments, traction, strengthening, mobilization, soft tissue release, ultrasound, splinting, taping and bracing.
