Our Areas of Expertise
Surgery: Our team of board-certified orthopedic surgeons is well versed in the diagnosis and surgical interventions that help mitigate the effects of musculoskeletal issues and injuries. From congenital conditions to deformities of the limbs, we cover a wide variety of treatments designed to suit the individual needs of patients.
Rehabilitation: Orthopaedic rehabilitation encompasses specialized treatments such as Physical Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OP), and injury-specific rehabilitation. At Centinela Hospital Medical center, we provide customized training regimens comprising strength training, stretching exercises, and massages to help reduce the patient’s pain and lack of limb mobility.
Pediatric Orthopedics: Children require specialized care when they sustain injuries since they are more prone to injuries due to their energetic and active lifestyle. In unfortunate circumstances, families must deal with birth deformities as well. The challenge of delivering relief to young patients lies in managing their pain and discomfort. Our pediatric orthopedic experts are adept at managing little patients and understand what it takes to help make their lives better with treatment regimens.
Sports Medicine: Athletes and fitness enthusiasts are fierce competitors with an iron will. As a result of intense training, they are susceptible to injuries mainly associated with the wear and tear of bones and ligaments. We strive to protect such high performers from injuries and other sport-related conditions such as stress and sprains.
Ortho Care: ‘Prevention is better than cure.’ This is why our orthopedic consultants are committed to delivering preventive care interventions to help patients cope with the onset of issues with bones, muscles, and ligaments. At Centinela Hospital Medical Center, we provide consultative care to patients that are aligned with their well being.
