General Practitioners

• Osteoporosis
• Arthritis
  Rheumatoid Arthritis: This is an auto-immune disease in which the body's immune system (the body's way of fighting infection) attacks healthy joints, tissues, and organs. Occurring most often in women of childbearing age (15-44), this disease inflames the lining (or synovium) of joints. It can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of function in joints. When severe, rheumatoid arthritis can deform, or change, a joint. For example, the joints in a person's finger can become deformed, causing the finger to bend or curve.
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Emergency Care
  Usually people with forearm fractures are immediately rushed to the emergency room for treatment. Treatment of forearm fracture aims at putting back the broken bones into position and preventing them from moving out of place until they are completely healed.
• Electrocardiogram
  Perform procedures, and studies including but not limited to blood and tissue specimens. Ordering or performing diagnostic studies such as but not limited to EMG, electrocardiogram, compartment pressure measurements, and x-ray examinations including special x-ray examinations CT, MRI, and bone scans etc.

Gynecologists

• Pregnancy
• Labor and Delivery
  Transient osteoporosis of the hip is a rare condition that causes bone loss temporarily in the upper part of the thighbone (femur). It is mostly found in young or middle aged men between the ages of 30 and 60, and women in their later stages of pregnancy or early postpartum period (following childbirth).

Neurologists

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  Acute or chronic injury: Injuries to the shoulder, knee and wrist joint such as cartilage tears, tendon tears, carpal tunnel syndrome

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Ultrasound is a common imaging technique that employs high frequency sound waves to create images of organs and other internal structures of the body. These images provide valuable information of underlying pathology of the tissues and assists with diagnosis and planning the treatment of a condition. Ultrasound provides a clear view of the organs, tendons, muscles or joints and any associated disorders.
• MRI
  Tarsometatarsal arthritis is characterized by pain, functional impairment and midfoot instability. The appearance of bruises and swelling on the dorsal side of the midfoot are the commonly observed symptoms. The doctor will first examine the physical condition of the foot by inspection and palpation (feeling with hands). You may be advised to get an X-ray taken. You might also be sent to get a CT or MRI scan done to provide more information about your condition.
• X-Rays
• Computed Tomography
  The evaluation of the calcaneal fracture is done by imaging i.e., X-ray and CT scan. Based on the severity of the fracture, the doctor recommends the plan of treatment.

Surgeons

• Orthopedics
  It was such an honor that the team at Orthopaedic Specialists of Dallas and Dr. Umar Burney were able to attend and support such a wonderful event. Dr. Burney is committed to serving patients all around the world. His passion for orthopedics and love for philanthropy really make a difference in this world.
• Arthroscopy
  Synovectomy: This surgery is usually indicated for early cases of inflammatory arthritis where there is significant swelling (synovitis) that is causing pain or is limiting the range of motion. Synovectomy is a surgical removal of the inflamed synovium (tissue lining the joint). The procedure may be performed using arthroscopy.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery
  Unicompartmental knee replacement is a minimally invasive surgery in which only the damaged compartment of the knee is replaced with an implant. It is also called a partial knee replacement. The knee can be divided into three compartments: patellofemoral, the compartment in front of the knee between the knee cap and thigh bone, medial compartment, on the inside portion of the knee, and lateral compartment which is the area on the outside portion of the knee joint.
• Ankle Surgery
  Dr. Mecham is a fellow in the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons and a diplomate of the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery.
• Joint Replacement
  When only some of the joint is damaged, a surgeon may be able to repair or replace just the damaged parts. When the entire joint is damaged, a total joint replacement is done. To replace a total hip or knee joint, a surgeon removes the diseased or damaged parts and inserts artificial parts, called prostheses or implants.
• Arthritis Surgery
• Hand Surgery
  Hand surgery is performed to restore the structure and functionality of the fingers, wrist and hand secondary to a traumatic injury, medical condition, severe infection, or birth defect causing pain and/or deformity of the hand. It is performed by trained and certified plastic surgeons. The surgery is done either as an emergency procedure or as an elective procedure depending on the condition and its severity.
• Orthopedic Surgery
  Dr. Kushal Patel originally from Houston, Texas studied at Baylor University and received a Bachelor of Arts degree. He subsequently matriculated to Texas A&M College of Medicine where he graduated with honors, earning acceptance into Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society and awarded the James A. Knight Leadership in Medicine award. He continued his aspirations of orthopedic surgery completing his residency at Scott and White Memorial Hospital in Temple, Texas.
• Arthroscopy
  Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure during which the internal structure of a joint is examined for diagnosis and treatment of problems inside the joint. In arthroscopic examination, a small incision is made in the patient’s skin through which pencil-sized instruments that have a small lens and lighting system (arthroscope) are passed. Arthroscope magnifies and illuminates the structures of the joint with the light that is transmitted through fiber optics. It is attached to a television camera and the interior of the joint is seen on the television monitor.
• Hip Replacement
  Hip replacement has become necessary for your arthritic hip: this is one of the most effective operations known and should give you many years of freedom from pain. Once you have arthritis which has not responded to conservative treatment, you may well be a candidate for total hip replacement surgery.
• Knee Replacement
  I had my first Knee Replacement three years ago with Dr. Burney. It was so successful I just had my other one done two months ago. I am totally pain free and I am enjoying life again. The surgery and re-hab are hard but it is so worth the reward. Dr. Burney is an excellent Doctor and makes you feel so confident in his abilities. His re-hab team is unequalled in their work to get you back on track. I was up and going in a month. I went to New York last week and had no trouble getting up and down in the subway and doing anything I wanted. I would highly recommend Dr. Burney and his team, they are the best.
• Knee Arthroscopy
  Knee Arthroscopy is a common surgical procedure performed using an arthroscope, a viewing instrument, to consider the knee joint to diagnose or treat a knee problem. It is a relatively safe procedure and most the patient’s discharge from the hospital on the same day of surgery.

Dermatologists

• Corns
  Feet support your body weight, help maintain proper posture and help in movement. As the feet bear the entire weight of the body and are involved in most activities, they are more prone to problems such as calluses, corns, cracks, infections and traumatic injuries.
• Cyst
• Calluses
• Fungus
  Fungal infections are common in nails, and occur most often in toe nails. Termed as onychomycosis, nail fungus affects the keratin, the hard material that makes up the nail and can include the entire nail or a portion of the nail, along with the nail root, plate or bed. It gradually leads to thickening, distortion and discoloration of the nails.
• Lesions
  Athlete's foot also known as tinea pedis, is a fungal infection on the skin of the foot. It is characterized by itchy, moist, white, scaly lesions between the toes that can spread to the sole of the foot.
• Rashes
• Psoriasis
  Psoriatic arthritis: This form of Arthritis occurs in some persons with psoriasis, a scaling skin disorder, affecting the joints at the ends of the fingers and toes. It can also cause changes in the fingernails and toenails. Back pain may occur if the spine is involved.
• Burns

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  Sports injuries occur when playing indoor or outdoor sports or while exercising. They can result from accidents, inadequate training, improper use of protective devices, or insufficient stretching or warm-up exercises. The most common sports injuries are sprains and strains, fractures and dislocations.
• Physical Therapy
  Physical therapy is one of the foremost necessary treatment modes of recovery from joint pain. A referral to physiotherapy sometimes is created by your surgeon. A physical therapist is a well-trained, skilled health care professional who facilitates improving movement and manages the pain by safe stretching, conditioning, and strengthening exercise techniques. Patients are guided concerning the fundamental anatomy of the body and their mechanism of action. They are also instructed about the varied exercise regimens to extend the activity level thereby strengthening the muscles. Most patients manage low joint pain and associated symptoms with therapy and medications without surgical intervention.
• Occupational Therapy
  The non-surgical treatment options include rest, medications including analgesics and antibiotics, injections, and physical/occupational therapy.
• Frozen Shoulder
  Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis is a condition characterized by pain and loss of motion in shoulder joint. It is more common in older adults aged between 40 and 60 years and is more common in women than men.
• Tennis Elbow
  Tennis elbow is the common name used for the elbow condition called lateral epicondylitis. It is an overuse injury that causes inflammation of the tendons that attach to the bony prominence on the outside of the elbow (lateral epicondyle). It is a painful condition occurring from repeated muscle contractions at the forearm that leads to inflammation and micro tears in the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle.
• Shoulder Pain
• Flatfoot Correction
• Heel Pain
• Ankle Sprain
  Ankle injuries are very common in athletes and in people performing physical work, often resulting in severe pain and impaired mobility. Pain after ankle injuries can either be from a torn ligament and is called ankle sprain or from a broken bone which is called ankle fracture. Ankle fracture is a painful condition where there is a break in one or more bones forming the ankle joint. The ankle joint is stabilized by different ligaments and other soft tissues, which may also be injured during an ankle fracture.
• Back Pain
• Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

Podiatrists

• General Podiatry
  Dr. Mecham completed his medical education at the Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine, where he graduated at the top of his class. He then completed his surgical residency at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, where he served as chief resident. Published in multiple journals, he is currently working on a research project focusing on developing new postoperative pain management protocols without the use of narcotic pain medications.
• Ankle Instability
  Ankle instability is a chronic condition characterized by a recurrent slipping of the outer side of the ankle. It usually results from repeated ankle sprains. It is generally noticed during movement of the ankle joint but can also occur during standing as well.
• Ankle Sprain
  Immediately following an ankle injury and prior to seeing a doctor, you should apply ice packs and keep the foot elevated to minimize pain and swelling.
• Calluses
• Flat Feet
  Flatfoot, also known as “fallen arches†or Pes planus, is a deformity in children’s feet in which the arch that runs lengthwise along the sole of the foot has collapsed to the ground or not formed at all. Flatfoot is normal in the first few years of life as the arch of the foot usually develops between the age of 3 and 5 years. Flatfoot can be rigid or flexible.
• Hammertoes
  A hammertoe is a deformity of a lesser toe (second through fifth toes), where the toe gets bent upward at the toe’s middle joint, resembling a hammer. The bent portion may rub against a shoe causing pain, irritation and development of corns. It is caused by wearing shoes that are too tight or narrow near the toes, when the second toe is larger than the first, and as a complication of arthritis and certain neuromuscular conditions.
• Heel Pain
• Foot Pain
• Foot Infections
  Foot infections may occur after trauma to the foot or loss of tissue because of contamination from foreign material and/or bacteria or fungus. Infections can occur in healthy individuals as well as in those whose health is compromised.
• Ingrown Toenails
  An ingrown toenail is a common and painful condition of the toe. It occurs when the sides or corner of the nail grow inwards and penetrates the skin of the toe. Pain is often accompanied by swelling and redness. The big toe is affected most often.
• Foot Injuries
• Metatarsalgia
  Forefoot pain, also referred to as metatarsalgia, is a type of pain that occurs in the ball of the foot (around the tip of the metatarsal bones). Generally, forefoot pain is associated with aging. Individuals with metatarsalgia experience pain of varied intensity and discomfort and find difficulty in activities like walking, running, playing, and several others.
• Plantar Fasciitis
  Plantar fasciitis refers to inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that lies at the bottom of the foot. It runs from the heel bone to the toe and forms the arch of your foot. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It is most often seen in middle-aged men and women, but may also occur in those who are constantly on their feet such as soldiers.
• Podiatric Surgery
  A foot injury or foot surgery may leave you immobile for a period. To return to your regular activities and more strenuous recreational activities, it is necessary for you to follow a well-planned activity and exercise program.
