Arthritis
Healthy joints play an important role in allowing you to move effortlessly. When arthritic joint inflammation causes daily pain and stiffness, then you need arthritis treatment that works. That’s why you should contact Wyoming’s premier orthopedic specialists—the physicians of Premier Bone & Joint Centers. Whether your arthritis was caused by a traumatic injury, an infection, or years of wear and tear, we can help you manage your pain and restore functionality to your joints so that you can get back to doing the things that you love.
Diagnosing the Cause of Your Arthritis
In order to provide you with a helpful arthritis treatment plan, our physicians first have to accurately diagnose your condition. When you visit one of our clinics, an orthopedic specialist will:
Perform a physical examination to check your range of motion
Take samples for lab tests, which reveal arthritis-causing infections
Order imaging tests, which show bone damage and cartilage loss
Treatment Plans That Improve Your Condition
Our board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic specialists possess extensive experience in treating both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, as well as common variations of these conditions, like post-traumatic osteoarthritis. In fact, our skill in providing post-traumatic arthritis treatment allows us to serve as the chief medical officials for the University of Wyoming Athletics, helping athletes recover from the joint damage that accompanies an injury.
Whenever possible, our physicians will recommend non-invasive treatment options like behavior modification, physical therapy, and certain medications. In some cases, however, joint repair or replacement surgery may serve as the most effective form of arthritis treatment. Our orthopedic surgeons keep up to date on the most advanced practices and technology, ensuring that your surgery goes smoothly.
