General Practitioners

Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Do you have joint pain? One in five people suffer from arthritis. There are over a hundred different types of arthritis, but the most common forms are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is characterized by a breakdown of cartilage that causes stiffness and pain in the affected joint. Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms include swelling and joint deformity. Arthritis can develop in the spine, shoulders, hands, wrists, hip, knees, ankles, and feet.
Medical Weight Loss
The physicians at Texas Orthopedics always recommend a course of conservative treatment options prior to joint replacement surgery. Weight loss and low-impact exercises are a great place for patients to start. Anti-inflammatory medications and joint injections are also recommended prior to surgery.
Rheumatology
We at Texas Orthopedics are committed to doing everything we can to keep our patients healthy and safe. If you are a rheumatology patient of ours, we are making special accommodations and recommendations including p ostponing all non-urgent in-office appointments.
Primary Care
If your insurance is an HMO/managed care plan and you are required to obtain a referral from your primary care physician, the referral must be obtained before you can be seen for an office visit. Please coordinate this with your primary care physician in advance. Appointments will be rescheduled if required referrals are not received in the office by the time of your visit.
Emergency Care
In the event of a life-threatening medical emergency, call medical emergency services at 911 immediately. DO NOT WAIT! Inform the emergency room staff that you are a patient of Texas Orthopedics and they will contact us.

Ophthalmologists

Ophthalmology
Although PRP Therapy is relatively new to the field of orthopedics, it has been used for more than 20 years in dentistry. PRP Therapy has been used to promote healing following jaw reconstruction for patients with cancer. Its use has expanded to other medical specialties, including cardiovascular surgery, sports medicine, urology, cosmetic surgery, and ophthalmology. These studies show that recovery time is quicker and the risks are lower with PRP Therapy. Researchers are now focused on its use in musculoskeletal injuries.

Internal Medicine
Urology

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
It is also a good idea to try working a little more slowly. Many hand injuries occur because people work too fast. Carpal tunnel can be a problem for people who work at a computer all day, but you can do your best to make sure your workstation is ergonomic by keeping your wrists in a neutral position while typing. Taking frequent breaks from repetitive activities is also helpful.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
The goal of PRP therapy is to resolve pain through healing. Initial improvement may be seen within a few weeks, gradually increasing as the healing progresses. Studies have shown PRP therapy to be effective at relieving pain and returning patients to their normal activities and daily lives. Both ultrasound and MRI images have shown definitive tissue repair after PRP therapy, confirming the healing process. The need for surgery can also be greatly reduced by treating injured tissues before the damage progresses and the condition is irreversible.
MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an outpatient imaging procedure that produces detailed views of internal structures, including soft tissues. MRI helps doctors check for abnormalities and diagnose injuries and conditions. MRI is a painless procedure that simply requires that patients remain still while the images are taken.
Radiology
We are proud to offer our MRI services at three of our locations, Northwest Austin, South Austin, and Cedar Park locations. All of our MRI facilities are nationally accredited by the American College of Radiology.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Your physician will order X-rays to see the condition of your shoulder bones and to identify areas of arthritis or bone spurs. Sometimes your doctor may order Computed Tomography (CT) scans or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans to get a better view of the bone and soft tissue structures. These imaging tests are also painless. They require that you remain very still while a camera takes images of your shoulder joint. CT scans provide a view in layers like the slices that make up a loaf of bread. MRI scans provide the most detailed images of the tendons and ligaments.

Orthopedics
Texas Orthopedics is excited to start the New Year off right with announcing that 19 of our physicians were recognized by their peers as Top Doctors in
Sciatica
Lumbar epidural injections are used to treat pain from ruptured discs, cysts, arthritis, fractures, cancer, shingles (post herpetic neuralgia) or other changes in the spine that cause nerve irritation and pain. Spinal stenosis is a condition that causes the spinal canal to narrow and put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Compressed, pinched, or irritated nerves in the lumbar spine can cause sciatica. This condition causes pain that can extend from the low back, through the buttocks and legs, and down to the feet. In addition, lumbar epidurals are used to treat cancer-related pain.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopic Surgery is a procedure that allows surgeons to see, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint. The procedure, also called an Arthroscopy, requires only small incisions and is guided by a miniature viewing instrument or scope. Before arthroscopy existed, surgeons made large incisions that affected the surrounding joint structures and tissues. They had to open the joint to view it and perform surgery. The traditional surgery method carries a higher risk of infection and requires a longer time for recovery. In contrast, arthroscopy is less invasive. It has a decreased risk of infection and shorter recovery period. Today, arthroscopic surgery is one of the most common orthopedic procedures.
Ankle Surgery
Texas Orthopedics is thrilled to welcome Dr. Mark Dalton and Dr. Kristopher Stockton to our staff of specialists. Both are board-certified orthopedic surgeons with fellowship training in foot and ankle surgery.
Joint Replacement
While the symptoms of knee arthritis may be tolerated with some medications and lifestyle adjustments, for many, knee replacement is the only way to reduce pain, restore function, and improve the quality of life. Knee Replacement Surgery, also called Knee Arthroplasty, involves removing the damaged portion of the knee and replacing it with artificial implants called prosthetics. Knee Arthroplasty is the most common type of joint replacement surgery. It is highly successful for relieving pain and restoring joint function.
Hand Surgery
Hand surgery is a very specific field of orthopedics, requiring specialized training and expert skills. Our talented hand and wrist surgeons are well-qualified to treat the delicate network of tendons, ligaments, muscles, skin, and bones in the hand and wrist. They use advanced minimally invasive endoscopic, arthroscopic, and nerve repair techniques. Patients receive diligent follow-up care, as well as hand therapy from our on-site certified hand therapists.
Orthopedic Surgery
Texas Orthopedics is the largest orthopedic surgery practice in Austin, Texas, offering seven convenient locations and same-day appointments. Most of our doctors have appointments available at more than one office location.
Neurosurgery
Arthroscopy
Although nearly all joints can be viewed with an arthroscope, it is used most frequently to treat six joints. These include the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, hip and wrist. Arthroscopy most commonly treats diseases and injuries that damage the bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and muscles that make up a joint.
Hip Replacement
The hip is one of the most commonly replaced joints. The hip is a ball and socket joint. It allows us to move our legs and bend and straighten our body. Osteoarthritis, a type of arthritis, is the main reason for Hip Replacement Surgery. Other conditions, including trauma, may also cause the need for a hip replacement.
Knee Replacement
Patients requiring hip or knee replacement revision surgery are treated by our highly skilled, fellowship-trained adult reconstruction surgeons. These surgeons completed an extra year of training in complex hip and knee replacement surgery, including revisions, and have a team of nurses and physical therapists on staff to help guide patients through recovery.
Reconstructive Surgery
If non-surgical treatments fail, there are many surgical options for rheumatoid arthritis of the hand. The goals of surgical treatments are long-term pain relief and improved functioning. Reconstructive surgery can restore damaged joints. A joint can be removed and replaced with an artificial joint. An artificial joint can restore pain-free motion.

Tennis Elbow
The causes of elbow pain are diverse, however it is usually most commonly caused by overuse. You can also experience elbow pain from an one-time injury, like a fractured elbow, strains, sprains, or a dislocated elbow. Wear and tear injuries, like bursitis, golfer's elbow, tennis elbow, trapped nerves, or stress fractures are from frequent and repeated usage of the joint. Arthritis, gout, Lyme disease, lupus, and other diseases can impact the function of your elbow, leading to pain, swelling, and redness.
