Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance plans?
Yes, we work with a wide range of insurance providers, including Cigna, UHC, HealthSmart, and more.
Do I need surgery for my orthopedic injury?
Not necessarily. Many orthopedic conditions respond well to non-surgical treatment like physical therapy, medication, or targeted injections before surgery ever becomes a consideration.
How long does recovery take after an orthopedic procedure?
Recovery time depends on the procedure and how far the condition has progressed before treatment. Most patients are back to normal within a few weeks, though more complex cases can take several months of rehabilitation.
