Soma Orthopedics is recognized as one of the top orthopedic surgeons in Los Angeles, CA, for foot surgery, knee surgery, shoulder surgery, spine surgery, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Our team consists of some of the most experienced orthopedic surgeons in the industry for diagnosing and treating joint and muscle injuries and musculoskeletal disorders.
There are various treatment options available for knee pain, shoulder pain, back pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Your Los Angeles orthopedic surgeon will first perform a physical exam, including a family medical history and a series of x-rays or an MRI scan. The physician may also prescribe a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to help reduce pain and inflammation in the joint. Your treatment may also include physical therapy to rehabilitate the joint and improve your range of motion. If non-surgical treatments are not improving your condition, the orthopedic surgeon may recommend surgery. However, it is important to remember that not every patient will be a candidate for surgery.
During a knee or shoulder replacement surgery, the orthopedic physician replaces the damaged joint with a prosthetic implant to eliminate pain and restore range of motion in the knee or shoulder joint. After a brief hospital stay, you will recover at home. Your orthopedic surgeon will let you know when to resume your work, sports, or other daily activities. It's essential to follow your physician's advice and keep all follow-up appointments.
Spine surgery, also known as a laminectomy, is performed to relieve pain and inflammation due to spinal stenosis or lower back pain. An orthopedic surgeon makes a small incision on the spine to remove bone spurs, scar tissue, and inflamed ligaments pressing against the nerves in the lower back. Other types of spine surgery include spinal decompression and fusion to relieve pinched nerves along the spine.
Many individuals that perform activities requiring repetitive motion in the fingers and hand, like typing on a computer keyboard, can cause the nerves in the palm to compress, which weakens the joint and causes numbness or tingling sensation. Your orthopedic surgeon in Los Angeles will discuss various treatment options, including surgery, depending on the severity of your condition.
