Osteoporosis
Warts
Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis, also called RA, is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting many joints, including those in the hand. In rheumatoid arthritis, the body’s immune system attacks its own tissue, affecting joint linings and causing painful swelling. Over time, the inflammation can cause bone erosion and joint deformity.
Plantar Fasciitis
One of the most common causes of heel pain, Plantar Fasciitis is an inflammation of the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) that runs across the bottom of your foot connecting your heel bone to your toes.
Cryotherapy
Plantar warts are often mistaken for hyperkeratotic tissue (a thickening of the outer layer of the skin). Your podiatrist can diagnose by noting disruption in friction ridges, pain when applying pressure to either side of the lesion, and pinpoint bleeding upon debridement. In some cases, a plantar wart can resolve on its own. In other cases, if left untreated could linger for years. Acid-based treatment, cryotherapy, and excision are the most common treatments.
Rheumatology
Primary Care
Working with your primary care physician (or another physician who has referred you), your medical team may include the following health care professionals...
Emergency Care
Our trauma program consists of seven fellowship-trained orthopedic traumatologists who provide emergency room care at Brandon Regional Hospital, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Tampa General Hospital, which is the only Level 1 trauma center in West Florida.

Pregnancy

Endoscopy
*For 2018, the figures include outpatient procedures for pain, regenerative medicine, endoscopy, arthroscopy, femur & knee, foot & toes, forearm & wrist, general surgery, hand & fingers, leg & ankle, nerves, pelvis & hip, shoulder, skin/wound, spine, upper arm & elbow, total ankle, total hip and total knee.

Neurology
The Florida Orthopaedic Institute Division of Chiropractic Medicine includes a unique approach to the functional application of both neurology and orthopedics. Chiropractors are medical professionals who diagnose and treat disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, specializing in noninvasive (nonsurgical) pain management and restoration of skeletal function by utilizing manual medicine and chiropractic techniques. Additionally, they give special attention to the physiological and biochemical aspects of the body, including structural, spinal, musculoskeletal, neurological, vascular, and nutritional relationships. Chiropractors elect not to prescribe medications and do not perform surgery; however, they do work very closely with the other Florida Orthopaedic Institute physicians and refer patients to their colleagues at Florida Orthopaedic Institute for other services when needed.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that causes numbness, tingling, weakness and other symptoms in the hand and arm because of pressure on the median nerve in your wrist.
Multiple Sclerosis
Through new advanced therapies, patients can take advantage of their own ability to heal by using healthy cells found naturally throughout the body. Laboratory and clinical research suggest that it is possible to use these cells to restore and repair damaged or aging cells and effectively regenerate tissue. These therapies have shown promise in orthopedic medicine, burn treatment, nerve restoration and treatment of heart conditions, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and other diseases.
Epilepsy
Neurologists treat patients with complex nervous system disorders such as stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease, headache disorders, and brain and peripheral nervous system infections. Neurologists often work closely with neurosurgeons, especially with patients with complex neurological disorders, but do not perform surgery.

Depression
Mental Health
PROMs are questions that patients answer that tell their healthcare provider how an injury affects their lives. Since an injury can affect a person in many ways, these questions cover several topics (general and disease-specific physical health, mental health, social activities, etc.).

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Hypothyroidism
Pressure can come from swelling or anything that makes the carpal tunnel smaller such as health problems (hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes), repetitive hand or wrist motions and pregnancy.

Ultrasound
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, is an imaging test allowing physicians to visualize internal structures of the body for disease or abnormal conditions. MRI does not use radiation for imaging, like an x-ray or computed tomography (CT) scan. Instead, MRI examinations use specialized equipment with a powerful, constant magnetic field, rapidly changing local magnetic fields, radiofrequency energy, and dedicated equipment including a powerful computer to create clear pictures of internal body structures. Often an MRI gives different information about structures in the body than are seen with an X-ray, ultrasound, or CT scan.
MRI
At Florida Orthopaedic Institute, we make it very convenient to have your diagnostic work done here rather than having to travel to a different facility. We offer early, late and Saturday hours for MRI testing.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
The NAVIO® Surgery System allows Florida Orthopaedic surgeons to perform precise and accurate partial knee replacements. This system, developed by medical device maker Smith & Nephew, involves only a simple x-ray rather than a time-consuming and radiation-intensive CT scan, before the surgeon uses advanced planning software to tailor the surgery to the patient’s anatomy, align the implant, and balance the knee.

General Surgery
Orthopedics
Florida Orthopaedic Institute’s trauma specialists work in conjunction with the Foundation for Orthopaedic Research and Education (FORE) to provide patients with a higher level of care and institute a foundation for clinical practices. Housed within Florida Orthopaedic Institute’s North Tampa office, FORE’s scientists are committed to improving orthopedics by contributing knowledge to the scientific community by conducting basic scientific research, biomechanical and clinical studies. The research conducted at FORE has been internationally recognized, received funding from the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation and has been awarded various scientific awards.
Sciatica
Sciatica describes symptoms of pain, numbness, or weakness that spread from the sciatic nerve down the lower back to the buttocks and leg. Medically sciatica is termed lumbar radiculopathy. Sciatica is a symptom of an underlying condition, not a diagnosis.
Scoliosis Surgery
Whiplash
Whiplash is a neck strain caused by a forceful, rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck. Usually associated with car accidents, the injury can also result from any impact or blow that causes your head to jerk forward or backward. A sports accident, physical abuse or other trauma can cause whiplash or neck strain.
Arthroscopy
Wrist arthroscopy utilizes a small fiber optic instrument called an arthroscope that lets the surgeon to see inside the joint, without making large incisions into the muscle and tissue.
Wound Care
Early wound care can help prevent serious infection, especially if you have underlying health conditions that could delay healing.
Pinched Nerve
While a pinched nerve condition can be chronic (lasting for years), it often improves without treatment. A pinched nerve needs professional medical diagnosis, and lab tests or imaging are often required.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
PROstep™ minimally invasive surgery can significantly reduce your foot pain and get you back to your favorite activities faster than traditional surgery.
Ankle Surgery
Bunion Surgery
When surgery is indicated, the operative experience of the surgeon is critical. With the largest combined experience in Florida, the Florida Orthopaedic Institute team has performed tens of thousands of these procedures including flat foot corrections, ankle and subtalar fusions, midfoot osteotomies, bunion surgery, soft tissue reconstructions, as well as fracture reconstruction.
Joint Replacement
With many healthcare systems now requiring pre-operative Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) to authorize surgery on all knee and hip joint replacement patients, Florida Orthopaedic Institute already has PROMs in place.
Arthritis Surgery
The specialists of Florida Orthopaedic Institute provide comprehensive care for adult reconstruction and arthritis surgery. Our physicians have specialty training from some of the world’s best universities and research centers in the many areas of the body that can be affected with arthritis. We provide you the most current treatment options available to make living with this disease easier and to allow you to comfortably continue with your essential and recreational activities of life.
Orthopedic Surgery
Bunions
Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery is one of the most technologically advanced surgical specialties. Today, neurosurgeons use computer-based neuronavigational technology, spinal biomechanics and instrumentation, gene therapy for brain tumor management, catheter-driven endovascular techniques, and continued advances in neuroradiological technology.
Robotic Surgery
Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy allows doctors to view the hip joint without making a large cut through the skin and other soft tissues. This surgical procedure is used to diagnose and treat a wide range of hip problems and the surrounding soft tissues.
Ingrown Toenails
Hip Replacement
Florida Orthopaedic Institute surgeons lead the way with minimally invasive arthroscopic hip surgery, robotic-assisted total knee and hip replacement, tibial trial sensor technology and other cutting-edge orthopaedic techniques.
Knee Replacement
The Florida Orthopaedic Institute board certified surgeons provide attentive all-inclusive knee & leg care beginning with a concentrated discussion with each patient about your specific pain or distress. Following this discussion, your surgeon will likely recommend additional assessments including x-rays to assist in determining the source of the cause of your pain. When your comprehensive evaluation is complete, your knee & leg surgeon will explain the diagnosis. They will also discuss all available treatment options. Treating your pain with conservative options is always our priority. However, if non-surgical options won’t accomplish complete success for your needs, our knee & leg surgeons are trained on (and at times assist in the development of) the latest surgical procedures and advancements, including cartilage, restoration, and total knee replacement.
Knee Arthroscopy

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Laparoscopic Surgery

Corns
The affected toes may be hard to move or painful and may develop corns or calluses. Other common symptoms may include physical deformities, joint stiffness, or swelling.
Cyst
Calluses
Fungus
Tinea pedis usually occurs in males, adolescents and young adults but can also affect females, children, and older people. Infection is usually caused by direct contact with the fungus – using a shared towel or walking barefoot in a public changing room.
Lesions
This minimally-invasive procedure repairs vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). It helps restore the spine’s natural shape by treating pathological vertebral body fractures due to osteoporosis, cancer, or benign lesions. Many patients experience rapid pain relief after the procedure.
Burns

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Florida Orthopedic Institute has the largest and most advanced sports medicine service division in the region. Under the direction of Dr. Seth Gasser, it’s widely recognized as a leader in treating athletic injuries for patients of all ages. FOI is the exclusive orthopedic provider and team physician for the University of Tampa, University of South Florida, and St. Leo University.
Physical Therapy
The spine specialists at Florida Orthopaedic Institute understand how living with chronic spine pain can chronically impact your daily life. If you experience lower back pain symptoms for over a month that have not responded to more conservative measures (physical therapy, massage or anti-inflammatory medications) and find yourself growing less and less able to participate in rehabilitation efforts, consider a consultation for spine intervention with our specialists. Spine intervention consists of a wide range of treatments for the neck, lower and mid-back conditions. As an outpatient, a non-surgical procedure is performed, focused on diagnosing your condition, and then preventing and treating it. A comprehensive variety of diagnostic and therapeutic injections, when indicated, are a part of your treatment program.
Occupational Therapy
Florida Orthopaedic Institute provides in house physical and occupational therapy services for the rehabilitation needs of our patients. The very nature of our orthopedic practice often involves integrating patient care with physical or occupational therapists after seeing one of our physicians. Our goal is to offer immediate access to our therapy centers and to initiate treatment within 24-48 hours of the physician’s referral. This permits seamless care while allowing us to monitor the quality of your care.
Tennis Elbow
Golfer’s elbow is similar to tennis elbow, which occurs on the outside of the elbow. Golfer’s elbow is not limited to golfers. Tennis players and others who repeatedly use their wrists or clench their fingers also can develop golfer’s elbow.
Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
High ankle sprains and syndesmosis injuries are traumatic injuries that affect the distal tibiofibular ligaments. They most commonly occur due to sudden external rotation of the ankle.
Neck Pain
Back Pain
Manual Therapy
These services are paired with individualized exercise programs developed by our therapists. Our expertise in manual therapy allows a hands-on approach in working with joint and soft tissue restrictions through the use of soft tissue and joint mobilization.
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy
Our physicians also assist patients with work-related injuries, pain management, rehabilitation, evaluation and prescription for therapeutic exercise, orthotics and prosthetics. We also offer interventional pain management via spine, joint and soft tissue injections.

General Podiatry
Podiatry (or podiatric medicine) is the study, diagnosis, and medical and surgical treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and parts of the leg.
Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis, also called tendinitis of the heel, is an injury of the Achilles tendon which connects the calf muscle to the heel bone. It is a common injury with more that 200,000 US cases every year. It is spelled as both tendonitis and tendinitis.
Ankle Instability
Not all ankle fractures require surgery. It’s important to get the appropriate surgery by a skilled foot and ankle specialist when they do. Poorly executed or inappropriate surgeries can cause ankle instability, arthritis, require additional corrective surgeries, or even the need for an ankle replacement operation.
Ankle Sprain
Foot and Ankle Ability Measure is a 21-question form that asks you about different activities that are affected by your foot or ankle injury/disease. While most of the other PROMs are less than ten questions, why are 21 needed to assess the foot/ankle? The foot and ankle contain a large number of bones (19 in the foot, 7 in the ankle) that all have to work in harmony to give you normal motion. This means that your foot and ankle can be injured in a lot of different ways.
Bunions Problems
Bunions (a misalignment of the bone at the big toe) are one of the most common foot problems. They can be very painful, change the shape of your foot, and limit daily activities.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Flat Feet
Hammertoes
If your toes are curled under or crooked, you may have hammer, mallet, or claw toe. When the muscles, tendons, or ligaments that surround your toe aren’t balanced, it causes the toes to bend in an odd position.
Heel Spurs
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Foot Infections
Tinea pedis is a foot infection caused by a dermatophyte fungus. It is particularly prevalent in hot, tropical, urban environments. It is the most common dermatophyte (a pathogenic fungus that grows on the skin).
Ingrown Toenails
Foot Injuries
Metatarsalgia
Symptoms of metatarsalgia can include sharp, aching or burning pain in the ball of your foot, pain that worsens when you stand, run, flex your feet or walk, sharp or shooting pain, numbness, or tingling in your toes or the feeling of having a pebble in your shoe.
Foot Orthotics
Malalignment of the foot during the gait cycle in patients whose foot rolls inward as they move (over pronation) or over supination (when the foot rolls outwardly when lifted off the ground to take a step) can affect the knee, hip, and lower back. Overpronation of the foot can cause the leg to rotate internally. This causes increased stress to the medial collateral ligaments of the knee and increased pain to the hip. Proper foot orthotics and education on appropriate footwear can reduce this pain.
Plantar Fasciitis
People with Plantar Fasciitis commonly get a stabbing pain with their first steps in the morning. As they get up and move, the pain normally decreases, sometimes returning after long periods of standing or sitting.
Podiatric Deformities
If you participate in activities that involve running and jumping, you can get a condition in which the ball of your foot becomes painful and inflamed. This is called metatarsalgia. It is also caused by foot deformities and shoes that are ill-fitting.
