Orthopedic Services
Back, Neck & Spine
Back, neck, and spine pain can develop suddenly after an injury or gradually from repetitive strain and everyday activities. Many acute musculoskeletal conditions improve with conservative treatment, and surgery is often not the first step. Our orthopedic team evaluates conditions such as muscle strains, sciatica, spinal arthritis, and other common back and neck injuries, providing personalized treatment plans focused on reducing pain, restoring mobility, and supporting recovery.
Knee
The knee is one of the body's most frequently injured joints, especially during sports, exercise, and accidental falls. Sprains, strains, ligament injuries, contusions, and dislocations can all cause pain, swelling, and limited movement. We evaluate knee injuries and provide appropriate treatment, including supportive bracing when needed, to help stabilize the joint and promote healing while determining whether additional orthopedic care is necessary.
Hand & Wrist
Hand and wrist pain can make even simple daily tasks difficult, whether it's caused by an acute injury or repetitive motion over time. We diagnose and treat a variety of common conditions, including fractures, sprains, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, and trigger finger. Our goal is to relieve discomfort, improve function, and help patients return to their normal activities with effective nonsurgical treatment whenever appropriate.
Elbow
Elbow injuries can occur from falls, sports participation, workplace accidents, or repetitive movements that place stress on the joint. Our providers evaluate and treat a wide range of conditions, including fractures, dislocations, tendon injuries, nursemaid's elbow, and chronic joint pain. After a thorough assessment, we'll recommend the most appropriate treatment plan to reduce pain, improve movement, and support a safe recovery.
Foot & Ankle
Your feet and ankles absorb significant stress every day, making them especially vulnerable to injury during sports, exercise, and routine activities. We provide evaluation and treatment for common conditions such as ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, turf toe, shin splints, fractures, and other foot and ankle injuries. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help reduce pain, restore mobility, and minimize the risk of long-term complications.
If you can't make it to AFC immediately after an incident, use the R.I.C.E. method.
Rest – After an accident, get to a comfortable location as soon as possible, and rest to prevent additional strain on the injury.
Ice – Wrap an ice pack in a towel and apply it to the injury for 15 to 20 minutes. Reapply the ice every 3 hours. If you don’t have an ice pack, a bag of frozen produce will get the job done.
Compress – Put pressure on the injured area by wrapping it with an elastic bandage. Make sure the bandage is tight but not too tight. You can tell if the bandage is too tight when the injured area turns blue or starts feeling numb.
Elevate – To properly elevate your injury, position the injured area to rest above your heart. The most common way to elevate the injury is to stack several pillows under your foot, arm, ankle or leg while resting in bed or on a sofa.
