Choosing the right orthopedic specialist to care for your concern or injury can be challenging. At Richmond Orthopedic Institute, our practice is built on three foundational pillars. We provide the highest level of expertise and clinical care, compassionate care, and integrity so our patients can rest assured that they are in capable hands.
The mission of our two highly qualified orthopedic surgeons is to provide the best surgical care in Central Virginia for our patients who require surgical intervention to address their orthopedic needs. When you are considering orthopedic care in Richmond, reach out to our well-versed surgical team to schedule a consultation appointment.
Although our Richmond team has specialized and intensive training and experience in the surgical treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, they also have the expertise needed to recommend a variety of non-surgical approaches and other interventions to relieve pain and improve function.
Our surgical team takes pride in using a holistic approach to orthopedic concerns. We usually recommend conservative approaches first to improve healing and gain as much function as possible before determining if surgery is required. These interventions can include physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, assistive devices, medications, and pain management techniques.
Physical therapy uses customized treatment strategies to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility. Lifestyle modifications, such as weight management or ergonomic adjustments, can help minimize strain on the affected areas. Assistive devices help stabilize joints, and mobility aids help reduce the risk of falls.
Several types of prescription medications might be considered, such as corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid injections, or platelet-rich plasma therapy, to promote healing in tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints.
The anatomical structure and function of the feet are highly complex. Each injury or pain condition must be addressed individually, and treatment should be customized to meet your needs. These are some of the types of surgical care we offer at our Richmond practice.
Richmond Orthopedic Institute always appreciates feedback from our valued patients. To date, we’re thrilled to have collected 20 reviews with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars. Please read what others are saying about Richmond Orthopedic Institute below.
