Joint Replacement

For patients with advanced arthritis or severe joint damage, Synergy Orthopedics offers hip and knee replacement options designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support long-term function. When appropriate, robotic-assisted technology may be used to help with surgical planning and implant positioning.

Sports Medicine

Our sports medicine specialists treat injuries affecting the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, and other joints. Care may include non-surgical treatment, arthroscopic procedures, ligament reconstruction, cartilage treatment, and personalized recovery planning.

Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems through small incisions. This approach may reduce tissue disruption and support a more efficient recovery for certain knee, shoulder, and hip conditions.

Spine Care

Synergy Orthopedics also provides evaluation and treatment for spine-related conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, and other causes of neck or back pain. Treatment options may include conservative care, minimally invasive procedures, or surgical intervention when needed.

Hand Care

Evaluation and treatment are available for conditions affecting the hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow, including fractures, tendon injuries, nerve conditions, arthritis, and other orthopedic concerns.

Shoulder and Elbow Care

Orthopedic specialists evaluate and treat shoulder and elbow conditions, including rotator cuff injuries, instability, arthritis, fractures, and sports-related injuries. Treatment options may include non-surgical care or surgery when appropriate.
