• Minimally Invasive Surgery
  The labrum is a piece of cartilage located on the outside rim of your hip joint that helps to keep the top of your thighbone positioned securely in the hip socket. When this piece of tissue tears, typically as a result of a sports injury, you may or may not observe any symptoms. In some cases, however, you may notice a locking, clicking, or catching feeling during movement, or there may be pain or stiffness that limits your mobility. Conservative methods, such as rest, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications, can often provide sufficient healing and relief. If these minimally invasive options don’t help, we can perform minimally invasive surgery to help you return to normal activity.

I just had mid-foot fusion and bunion surgery on my 2nd foot and feel as though I’m on my way to hiking and enjoying outdoor activities again. Although his recovery time is a little longer, the hardware in my foot is less than other surgeons and better for me in the long run. He has been very supportive and knowledgeable about the surgery, options, and recovery. I highly recommend him.

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  Tricia Geiger is a Board-Certified Physician Assistant (PA-C) who specializes in the non-operative treatment of hip and knee joint arthritis, as well as sports medicine.
• Physical Therapy
  The meniscus is a piece of cushioning cartilage located in your knee that helps to prevent wear and tear to the bones in the knee joint. This bit of tissue is one of the most common cartilage injuries that can occur in the knee, particularly for athletes in contact sports and activities that require jumping or running with quick changes of direction. Depending on the degree of injury, a meniscus tear may be treated with non-invasive methods, such as rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy. More serious tears may require surgical intervention. If your doctor recommends an operation, our arthroscopic techniques can help you reduce or eliminate pain, regain mobility, and return to your favorite activities with as little downtime as possible. Preventive treatment that strengthens surrounding muscles and enhances balance and flexibility can also help to ensure long-term health and safety.
