When Alex felt his knee “explode” during a squat, he feared another meniscus tear. Remembering his last experience, he wanted a trusted team who could act fast. The Orthopaedic Clinic did just that—Dr. Jones evaluated him the same day, confirmed the diagnosis with an MRI, and had him in surgery within a week.

After surgery, Alex began physical therapy right away, where our expert team guided his recovery and helped him regain strength safely and quickly. Within eight weeks, his knee was back to full form.

This is just one of our many patient success stories—come see us today and let us help you get back on your feet!

Today is World Osteoporosis Day!
Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle — so brittle that even a minor fall or simple movement can result in a fracture.

At The Orthopaedic Clinic, we’re committed to helping our patients protect and strengthen their bones. Our Bone Health Clinic provides specialized care and evaluation for patients over 50, focusing on prevention, early detection, and treatment of osteoporosis.

Strong bones = strong foundation for lifelong movement. Speak to your provider today about your bone health and how we can help!
