Frequently Asked Questions
What types of orthopedic services are available?
OrthoNY provides both surgical and non-surgical services to meet the full spectrum of orthopedic needs. Surgical options include arthroscopic surgery, robotic-assisted procedures, and joint replacement for advanced arthritis or injury. Imaging centers offer MRI, CT, ultrasound, and X-rays for precise diagnosis, while physical therapy supports recovery and mobility. Patients also have access to orthobiologics and durable medical equipment to manage pain, improve function, and assist with healing. By offering these services within one system, care is coordinated from diagnosis through treatment and long-term management.
What types of pain management services are available for patients to help reduce or control pain?
OrthoNY provides comprehensive pain management services designed to reduce discomfort, restore function, and improve quality of life. Our specialists begin with a full evaluation and advanced diagnostic imaging when needed to identify the root cause of pain. We treat a range of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, joint pain, nerve pain, post-surgical pain, and complex regional pain syndrome.
Treatment options include non-opioid medications, image-guided injections, and nerve blocks for targeted relief. For longer-term solutions, we offer advanced therapies such as radiofrequency ablation, regenerative medicine like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, neuromodulation with spinal cord or peripheral nerve stimulation, and minimally invasive lumbar decompression surgery. Physical therapy is also an important part of care, supporting mobility and long-term recovery. Each plan is customized to the patient’s needs and frequently include collaboration with orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists for multidisciplinary support.
How does arthroscopic surgery support patient recovery?
Arthroscopic surgery uses small incisions and a camera to diagnose and repair joint problems. It is commonly performed on the shoulders, knees, and hips to treat ligament tears, cartilage damage, and instability. Patients benefit from shorter recovery times, less discomfort, and minimal scarring compared to open surgery. Many procedures are performed in outpatient centers, allowing patients to return home the same day. Post-surgery, physical therapy often plays a key role in restoring movement and strength, and in some cases, orthobiologics are used to further support healing.
What role does imaging play in orthopedic care?
Imaging is central to accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. X-rays help identify fractures and joint changes, while MRIs and CT scans provide detailed views of soft tissue and complex bone structures. Musculoskeletal ultrasound can also be used for targeted evaluation. Imaging guides decisions about whether surgery, therapy, or other treatments are needed, and it is essential for planning procedures like joint replacement or arthroscopy. Follow-up scans monitor recovery and help providers adjust care as healing progresses.
How does physical therapy support orthopedic treatment and recovery?
Physical therapy helps patients regain mobility, strength, and balance after an injury or surgery. Programs are tailored to each patient, focusing on exercises, manual therapy, and strategies to reduce pain and stiffness. Therapy is especially important following procedures like joint replacement or arthroscopy, helping to restore function and prevent complications. Durable medical equipment, such as braces or walkers, may also be used alongside therapy to support safe movement during recovery. Close coordination with orthopedic specialists ensures that progress is monitored and treatment plans are adjusted as needed.
What options are available for non-surgical orthopedic treatments?
Many orthopedic conditions can be managed without surgery. Physical therapy is a cornerstone of non-surgical care, focusing on improving function and reducing pain. Durable medical equipment, such as braces or supports, assists patients in staying mobile and reducing strain during healing. Orthobiologics, which use natural cell-based therapies, help promote tissue repair in cases of arthritis, tendon injuries, or cartilage damage. These treatments may be used individually or combined to create a conservative care plan before surgery is considered.
What surgical options are available for complex orthopedic cases?
For patients with complex or severe conditions, advanced surgical services include joint replacement, robotic-assisted procedures, and arthroscopic techniques. Joint replacement is often used to restore mobility and relieve pain caused by advanced arthritis. Robotic surgery enhances precision, helping surgeons achieve optimal outcomes with smaller incisions and greater accuracy. Arthroscopic surgery allows minimally invasive repairs for ligaments, cartilage, and soft tissue. These procedures are supported by pre-surgical imaging and post-surgical physical therapy, ensuring patients receive comprehensive care at every stage.
