Orthopedic care
Orthopedists are doctors who take care of the entire musculoskeletal system. They diagnose and treat conditions such as sprains, strains, broken bones, arthritis and osteoporosis. Some of the treatments they offer include recommending lifestyle changes, applying casts and performing surgeries, such as ligament repairs or total joint replacements.

We also offer cooled radiofrequency ablation treatment for knee pain. The procedure is the only currently known radiofrequency pain management system to use water-cooled radiofrequency energy to safely deactivate the pain-causing nerves, thus providing nonsurgical relief.
Our orthopedic specialties
Our orthopedic doctors assess and treat musculoskeletal disorders and conditions leading to pain and immobility. We specialize in the following orthopedic areas.
Shoulder and collarbone care
We employ several methods, from shoulder replacement to rotator cuff repair, to treat overused or injured muscles and connective tissue of the shoulder and upper extremities.
Hip and knee care
Hip and knee pain can be potentially disabling and interfere with your ability to live a normal lifestyle. Whether caused by a sports-related injury or aging, our orthopedic physicians can relieve pain, assist healing and care for patients until they regain their mobility and strength.
We offer robot-assisted surgery and minimally invasive techniques, which can provide faster recovery times, shorter hospital stays and less pain than traditional surgery. We also offer 3D printed knee implants designed to fit each person’s unique anatomy.
Spine care
We are dedicated to providing excellent spine care. Our experienced spine care team members are specialists in both orthopedic and neurological care. They are trained to evaluate and treat all forms of back pain associated with aging, injury and underlying conditions, such as arthritis. Our goal is to provide care to reduce pain and restore function.

- Reassuring the patient that pain will be controlled
- Recommending extra pre- and post-surgery physical therapy sessions
- Strengthening muscles before surgery
Most people who go through Joint Venture leave the hospital in less than four days after surgery. Also, nearly all of these patients can walk the day after surgery.
