Arthritis
The risk of osteoporosis comes from many issues such as: prior fractures, genetics, a parent/relative with a prior fracture, height loss, diabetes, low weight (either now or as a teenager), medications used to treat common diseases (COPD, rheumatoid arthritis, seizures) or certain medical conditions (diabetes is an example).

Primary Care
Pediatric orthopedic issues stem from many situations including birth, general play, athletic participation, and progressive diseases. It can be difficult as a parent to know if your child will out-grow a condition, or if they need to be evaluated by pediatric care specialists. Early detection and treatment of pediatric musculoskeletal disorders is the key to good outcomes, therefore, it is important to establish care early when symptoms arise. Your child’s primary care provider can be a good place to start, and while we do not require a referral to be seen in our clinics, they can provide helpful guidance.
Family Practice
During your first visit at our Bone Health Clinic, our Bone Health Specialists will review your personal and family health history, medications, activities and pain to determine your risk. This may lead to obtaining appropriate lab and imaging such as bone density testing (DXA, and/or QCT) or further x-rays. The results will indicate the next plan of action. The testing, discussion with the bone health provider, and results may happen within the same appointment visit. You can expect this initial visit to take approximately one hour.
Emergency Care

General Surgery
Hand surgeons are trained in the field of either orthopedic, plastic, or general surgery and then go on to receive additional training in hand and upper extremity surgery. Injuries to the hand and upper extremities often involve several different tissue, bone, ligament, and muscle structures that require this very specialized set of skills. Hand surgeons not only diagnose and treat injuries of the hand, but also injuries of the wrist, elbow, arm, and sometimes even all the way up to the shoulder.
