Knee pain affects every part of your life

You’ve tried rest, ice, and “just dealing with it”

Now it’s time for answers 

We know how frustrating it is to feel limited by your own body. Our team listens, evaluates, and  creates a treatment plan designed to get you back to doing the things you love.

We’re there, every step of the way

Surgery never has to be your first option. A specialist will do a full evaluation to create a care plan for every phase of treatment, recovery, and rehabilitation.

Evaluation & Diagnosis

Your visit starts with a one-on-one consultation with an experienced orthopedic specialist. We’ll take the time to listen, understand your history, and figure out exactly what’s causing your pain.

Medical History

We’ll talk about your symptoms, medical history, and any past injuries.

Physical Exam

A full examination evaluates joint range of motion, mobility, and pain during weight-bearing activity.

Advanced Imaging

If needed, X-rays or other imaging is used to see what’s really going on.

Your doctor will diagnose the issue and recommend the best path forward—surgical or not.

Orthopedic Knee Surgery

The thought of having surgery can be overwhelming, but when it’s the right step, you’ll be in expert hands. Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons perform procedures like:

Arthroscopic knee surgery

Minimally invasive procedure used to repair meniscus tears, smooth damaged cartilage, or address joint issues.

Knee replacement

When arthritis or joint damage is severe, a knee replacement can restore function and dramatically reduce pain.

ACL and ligament repair

For stability and strength, torn ligaments are repaired to support confident, pain-free movement.

Surgery is performed in our state-of-the-art facility, with a team supporting you before, during, and after the procedure.

Post-Surgical Rehab

Your post-op care is handled right here in the office, where your surgeon works closely with our PTs, OTs, and chiropractors. Every aspect of your care is personalized.

Physical & Occupational Therapy

Hands-on manual therapy techniques and modalities reduce pain and inflammation.

Mobility Restoration

Exercises and stretches to regain joint range of motion and flexibility.

Strength and Stability Training

Targeted exercises rebuild muscle strength and joint stability for balance, safety, and long-term results.

An integrated approach to your recovery means a smooth transition from surgery back to an active lifestyle!

What if I don’t need surgery? 

No surgery is always great news. If the doctor wants to try a conservative approach first, Advanced Wellness offers traditional and alternative non-invasive treatments.
