What is the advantage of visiting a total orthopaedic
care facility?

Visiting a total orthopaedic care facility provides you with an 
unparalleled continuum of care from diagnostic testing and treatment
to physical therapy and rehabilitation. Our center also offers you
the expertise of a group of talented multi-specialized orthopaedic 
surgeons and a variety of on-site services that a regular orthopaedic
practice cannot.


Why do I need to visit a specialized team of
orthopaedists when all I need is the expertise of one?

No injury or disorder exists in isolation. Your bones, joints, 
ligaments, muscles, and nerves, for example, all work together to 
allow you to walk, sit, bend down to pick up an object off the floor,
and so on. Because of the complex nature of many diseases or 
injuries, more than one specialist is often required to correctly 
diagnose and treat a condition as effectively as possible.


Do all the patients at Island Orthopaedics & Sports
Medicine require surgery?

No. Most patients can be treated effectively with physical therapy 
and other nonoperative modalities, while other patients may 
require surgery. At Island Orthopaedics, we evaluate each patient
individually and recommend the course of action that would 
most quickly and effectively allow you to enjoy immediate and 
long-term pain-free activity.
