Imaging plays a crucial role in accurately diagnosing orthopedic conditions related to bones, joints, muscles, and connective tissues. Doctors often start with X-rays to visualize fractures and bone abnormalities. For detailed views of soft tissues like ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is frequently used. Computed Tomography (CT) scans offer enhanced details for complex fractures or spinal issues. Ultrasound can be a helpful tool for diagnosing tendon injuries or guiding injections. These imaging techniques, combined with a physical exam and patient history, enable orthopedic specialists to pinpoint the root cause of pain or dysfunction and develop targeted treatment plans. All of these tools are available to Dr. Shane Nho in his efforts to properly diagnose your hip, knee or shoulder condition.
With a thorough and accurate diagnosis in hand, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Shane Nho can present you with your treatment options. Dr. Nho and his team provide preventative care, conservative care, non-surgical care (orthobiologics), and surgical intervention. Dr. Nho’s goal is to restore you to your active life. (Together, you and Dr. Nho will work/In collaboration, Dr. Nho and his team will work) to create a personalized treatment plan. From minor hip, knee, or shoulder conditions to complex injuries, Dr. Nho can help.
Physical therapy and rehabilitation are essential for a successful recovery from orthopedic surgery. Physical therapists design personalized exercise programs to help you regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the affected area. They teach you proper movement patterns to reduce pain and minimize the risk of re-injury. Physical therapy accelerates healing, improves function, and helps you return to your normal activities as quickly and safely as possible. In addition, orthobiologics can help to speed recovery.
