Welcome to Lancaster Orthopedic Group, Inc. Thank you for your interest in our practice. We hope the information provided in this web site will increase your understanding of our practice and answer any questions you may have.
Orthopedics is the branch of medicine concerned with the bones, joints, muscles, and associated structures. Treatment sometimes involves the use of medications and immobilization of the injured part. Therapy may be prescribed to increase motion and strength, to decrease pain and swelling, and to instruct the patients in home-therapeutic programs. Occasionally, surgery may be required for problems that are resistive to non-operative management.
Sports medicine is a specialized branch of orthopedic care. Athletes and exercise participants require certain considerations with the management of their injuries. Our physicians are well-versed in all phases of sports injuries, prevention, and care.
The number of trauma-related injuries occurring each year is increasing in this country. As with most illnesses, the initial treatment and subsequent management are of the utmost importance. Our physicians are qualified to participate in emergency and trauma calls at Lancaster General, Lancaster Regional Medical Center, Ephrata Community Hospital, and Heart of Lancaster.
To create a technically and personally superior experience.
