Osteoporosis
Headaches
Arthritis
If an injury or problem with your hand, wrist, or forearm is affecting your quality of life by causing pain or other issues, you many want to consider consulting a hand surgeon. Some of the conditions treated by hand surgeons include carpal tunnel syndrome, finger lacerations with injury to nerves or tendons, arthritis of the hand or wrist, hand numbness, and hand fractures.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Autism
Pediatric physical therapy is a form of medical treatment that focuses on children’s development and well-being. It is essential for pediatricians to understand pediatric physical therapy to identify signs of potential problems in their young patients. Pediatric physical therapists work with kids who have developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or other neurological conditions. The goal is to help the child reach their maximum level of functioning as possible, using exercises and activities that are appropriate for each individual case.
Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory condition that affects your nerves. This condition is chronic, but it progresses at different rates for different people. Most people with MS may experience short periods of worsening symptoms followed by long stretches of very few symptoms. One of the first symptoms of MS is often facial numbness.

X-Rays
Computed Tomography
If bone resorption is suspected, your dentist may also order a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to get a more detailed view of the bone in your jaw. With bone imaging technologies, your doctor can look for bone loss while you’re still in the early stages.
Chemotherapy
Cancer is a frightening word for anyone to hear. When most people think of cancer, they think of tumors and chemotherapy. Cancer can occur in any part of the body, including the jaw bone. If you are experiencing any of the signs and symptoms of jaw bone cancer, it is important to see a doctor right away. This type of cancer can be very serious if not treated early on. This blog post will discuss the signs, symptoms, and treatment options for jaw bone cancer. We will also provide some helpful resources for those diagnosed with this disease.

Plastic Surgeons

Rhinoplasty
This popular facial plastic surgery can alter the nose’s size, shape, or angle. It enhances a nasal profile with large bumps, flared nostrils, structural irregularities of the nasal tip, or is not balanced with the surrounding facial features. In any case, rhinoplasty can also help improve nasal functioning related to breathing issues.
Plastic Surgery
This facial plastic surgery can help restore a deformed or missing body part to its usual appearance and function. Encountering accidents, wearing worn-out dentures, or having congenital deformities can cause loss of nasal bone, skin, cartilage, or lining from any area of the nose or face. Depending on the issue, facial plastic surgeons may perform...

General Surgery
Hand surgeons are doctors who specialize in surgery of the hand. They are experts in diagnosing and treating conditions of the hand, wrist, and forearm. Hand surgery is considered a subspecialty of orthopedics, plastics, and general surgery. Doctors who wish to specialize in it must spend an additional year or more training after they have already completed five years of surgical residency. This means a qualified hand surgeon has expertise in the complex anatomy of the hand and in microvascular surgery. This means they are able to operate on the small bones and nerves, vessels, and other structures in the hand, wrist, and forearm. Some physicians who wish to be hand surgeons also take on additional training to treat problems in the elbow and shoulder, earning the title of Hand and Upper Extremity Surgeons. A hand surgeon may also specialize in specific areas within hand surgery, such as only treating children.
Orthopedics
Orthopedic PTs specialize in orthopedics and use neuromuscular and biomechanical principles to treat muscular and sports-related injuries, postoperative care, and performance enhancement. While all physical therapists are educated in the evaluation and management of bone and muscle conditions, PTs have advanced training in these areas. In addition, many orthopedic PTs complete a two-year fellowship after school in which they provide advanced treatment and management of patients.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a technology that allows the shoulder surgeon to insert a camera through a small incision and inside the joint. The camera is connected to a display monitor so that the surgeon is able to see inside the joint without major surgery. This may be performed for diagnostic purposes, but it is also used to provide image guidance during surgery. Arthroscopic debridement, arthroscopic bankart repair, and arthroscopic rotator cuff repair are a few of the procedures performed by orthopedic shoulder surgeons using arthroscopy. An open procedure uses slightly larger incisions. It is the more traditional approach, and in some cases it provides better results. Shoulder joint replacement is one open procedure shoulder surgeons may use to treat osteonecrosis, severe fractures, and severe arthritis in the shoulder.

Labor and Delivery
A nasal bone fracture can also be a result of birth trauma. Birth trauma is the general term used to describe any physical injury that occurs during the process of childbirth. This can include injuries to the baby’s head, neck, and spine. Pressure applied to the baby’s head by forceps or vacuum extraction devices can cause nasal bone fracture. Birth trauma may also occur if the baby becomes stuck in the birth canal for an extended period. This can lead to compression injuries and skull fractures. In some cases, birth trauma can also cause death.

Achilles Tendonitis
Rupture of the Achilles tendon or Achilles tendonitis: These injuries involve the large band of tissue that associates the lower leg muscles to the heel

Skin Cancer
The nose is one of the most widely recognized areas for skin cancer on the face. Because of this, getting surgery is essential to prevent worsening the issue. In fact, Mohs surgery is one of the best methods to guarantee that the tumor will be wholly taken out and will not return. However, it frequently causes a defect or hole in the skin.
Cyst
Ulcer
You may use an over-the-counter medicine to ease pain unless another medicine is prescribed. Talk with your provider before using acetaminophen or ibuprofen if you have chronic liver or kidney disease. Also, talk with your provider if you’ve had a stomach ulcer or GI (gastrointestinal) bleeding.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Hypothyroidism
Increases blood flow to the affected part. So, if you notice you have a swollen face after an event the previous night, you can tell that it is because of the alcohol. Consuming too much alcohol, salty foods, pregnancy, stress, hormones, hypothyroidism, and some allergies can all lead to facial swelling indications such as...

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Hand Surgeons treat many different kinds of conditions, such as sports injuries, deformities, overuse injuries, and injuries. The causes of these conditions often varies but often result from disease, trauma, or degeneration.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy: Manual therapy is a type of PT that uses hands-on techniques, such as massage, to help orthopedic patients regain strength, mobility, and flexibility.
TMJ Dysfunction
The exact cause of Temporomandibular disorder is unknown, but it is thought to be due to a combination of factors. These factors may include jaw injury, arthritis, teeth grinding (bruxism), and stress.
