Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Vitamins can be helpful in alleviating pains associated with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder that attacks tissues in the body. The tissue degeneration causes pain in the joints. Vitamins can help the immune system eliminate these toxins in the body keeping cartilage from breaking down so rapidly.
Medical Weight Loss
We recommend waiting to have a total joint replacement until your pain becomes unbearable, normal activity can no longer be completed, and nonsurgical treatments have failed. While waiting for a joint replacement, you can minimize your discomfort with several nonsurgical options such as medication, cortisone injection, activity modification, weight loss, and the use of a cane or knee brace.
Primary Care
Important- Patients who are on any blood thinning medications, such as coumadin (warfarin), plavix (clopidogrel), lovenox (heparin) or aspirin may be able to have these procedures but they cannot be done while on these medications. You and your treating physician, as well as your primary care doctor or cardiologist, will help decide whether or not it is safe to come off of your blood thinners to have an injection.
Sleep Disorders
Family Practice
There are many ways to identify the best specialist within a given area. One place to start is to consult a family practice doctor who addresses your general healthcare needs. This “primary care” doctor will usually know the best super-specialists within a specific region. Also, since this primary care physician may have referred patients to that specialist before, they may have seen firsthand their clinical outcomes after surgery. If these outcomes are poor, the primary doctor will not refer additional patients.
Emergency Care
Loss of control of the bowel or bladder and retention of urine may indicate damage to the spine's cauda equina nerves. The cauda equina is a bundle of nerves in the low back where the spinal cord ends. Damage to these nerves can be permanent if not treated immediately (within a day or so). See a spine specialist, or go to an emergency room if necessary.
Colonoscopy
The good news is that it can be treated successfully when detected early through colonoscopy. Unfortunately, many people put off the necessary screening. Austin residents, and those in Central Texas, can now easily have this screening without having to see a physician beforehand. Open Access Colonoscopy is a service we provide that allows healthy, age-appropriate patients to easily schedule a colonoscopy, usually without a pre-procedure visit.

Ophthalmologists

Ophthalmology
Laser Eye Surgery
We invite you to explore this informative Internet site. You will learn about the capabilities of our board-certifiedÂ physicians in orthopedic surgery, eye surgery, cosmetic surgery, pain management, GI, Ob/Gyn and ENT. You’ll find out why residents of Austin and Central Texas have selected Northwest Hills Surgical Hospital overÂ several years. The physician specialists at Northwest Hills Surgical Hospital use advanced instrumentation and minimally invasive surgical techniques that shorten the incision â€” all of which enables most of our patients to be home later the same day after surgery.Â Learn more

Gastroenterology
We have recently expanded by adding a Hospital Outpatient Procedure Department to better serve our patients undergoing gastroenterology and pain management procedures.
Colon Cancer
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) colon and rectum cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. The number of deaths was 14.8 per 100,000 men and women per year, with risk increasing with age over 50 and any family history of cancer. Another important fact is that colon cancer can progress for years without any symptoms.

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
Physical therapy increases flexibility and strengthens muscles that support the spine. Greater strength and flexibility will help prevent future back strain. A therapist may use ultrasound, electrical stimulation, heat or ice, mobilization and exercises to reduce pain and the likelihood of future injury.
MRI
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION: The second function is to reveal important diagnostic information to the spine specialist. For instance, if the injection of medication near the nerve root at a certain level of the spine FAILS TO RELIEVE the pain symptom or the weakness caused by the impinged nerve, the spine surgeon learns something very important. One possibility is that the symptoms are coming from a different disc at a different level. This is key, because without this information, a surgeon could operate and remove disc tissue at a level that appears on an MRI to have a herniation, but in fact that herniation is NOT the cause of the patientâ€™s symptoms.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and CT scans provide images of soft tissues and nerves in the spine, including discs and joints. This is valuable information to your physician in determining the cause of your pain. These tests provide a medical photograph of your body and are painless.

Orthopedics
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique that uses a camera, tiny incision holes, and specialized tools that allow the orthopedic surgeon to fix rotator cuff tears usually through 3-4 very small incisions, usually less than 1/2 inch long. Arthroscopic surgery drastically speeds up recovery time and is less intrusive on the body. The rotator cuff tear is repaired by suturing the torn tendon back to the humerus. Recovery is less painful and scars are less noticeable.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
In this sense, health insurance plans are not able to steer consumers to the highest quality physicians. They are in a difficult position because they find themselves somewhat handcuffed and unable to direct consumers to the highest quality physicians. On one hand, every healthcare plan medical director knows that the best physicians and super-specialists will save money as their outcomes are better and they provide minimally invasive surgery options that are less risky. These directors are trying to determine ways to subtly encourage patients to seek out centers of excellence for complex problems. However, they are also concerned with possible litigation from other physicians that may develop if they overtly favor one center over other physicians.
Joint Replacement
Arthritis or injury can also damage the shoulder joint preventing a person from lifting their arm. In severe cases, the only treatment available is shoulder joint replacement surgery. Shoulder replacement surgery has been around since the 1950s and was originally used for severe fractures, but because of its success, it has since been broadened to address arthritis. Today, about 23,000 people in the U.S. have shoulder replacement surgery. Patients with bone-on-bone contact are typically good candidates for shoulder replacement surgery, where an artificial ball and socket joint is installed into the shoulder.
Orthopedic Surgery
First, the healthcare consumer needs to understand that today’s medical field is divided into very narrow specialty categories. Twenty years ago, the specialty of orthopedic surgery addressed a variety of problems including knee, foot, hip, shoulder, hand and spine. While an orthopedic surgeon in a small rural town may still address all these problems, most orthopedic surgeons today in larger cities specialize in only one of those areas. Therefore, the educated healthcare consumer with a knee problem should seek out an orthopedic surgeon who only works on knees. This increases the likelihood that the surgeon will be more proficient in surgery and will use the most advanced surgical techniques available for knees.

Hip Replacement
The difference between the cement and uncemented version of the hip prosthesis is the lattice grid that comprises the socket part of the uncemented prosthesis. After the diseased bone and cartilage has been removed, the latticed grid is inserted into the socket. After a while during healing, the remaining hip bone will grow into the grid much like ivy grows into a trellis and suture itself to the prosthesis. The new bone grows into the implant, securing it in place. This is a much more natural cohesion and lasts longer than the traditional prosthesis. Also, it affords much more mobility to the active hip replacement recipient than the cemented type.
Knee Replacement
However, it is also nice to know that when other treatments prove to be futile, knee replacement surgery is an option. So prevalent is this surgery, in fact, that approximately 323,448 total knee replacements were performed in 2001. Knee replacement can help renew the ability to participate in many normal, daily activities such as gardening, going on walks, golfing and overall mobility. It is important to try other options before knee replacement surgery, however, since they only last for 15 to 20 years and are not easily replaced. For this reason, physicians are very selective about the types of candidates for the surgery.
