Orthopedics

Orthopedic conditions are on the rise as our population ages. Some startling statistics include:

• Over 40 million Americans have some type of arthritis
• Back pain affects nearly 40% of the populations at some point in time in their life
• Osteoporosis affects seven to eight million Americans - 80 % of whom are women

Morton Plant Mease provides subspecialty physician expertise, which means that no matter your diagnosis, we have an orthopedist that specializes in that type of condition.

We provide a unique patient experience across the care continuum:

• Pre surgical education classes before joint replacements
• Dedicated nursing care
• Highly specialized rehabilitation specialists

We provide specialty care for:

• Total Joint Replacements
• Comprehensive Spine Care
• Sports Medicine Program
• Hand and Upper Extremity

Physical and Rehabilitative Therapy

Our comprehensive care also includes rehabilitative therapy with specialized equipment and skilled therapists. We use non-invasive therapeutic modalities such as laser, ultrasound and iontophoresis (delivery of drugs through the skin using low-level electrical current) for pain relief. Our therapists also prescribe appropriate exercises based on each patient’s diagnosis and physical function.

All of Morton Plant Mease's orthopedic doctors are board-certified and have years of experience in treating patients with orthopedic problems.
