Do I need knee replacement surgery?
Knee replacement may be recommended when conservative treatments—like physical therapy or injections—no longer provide relief from chronic pain that limits your daily mobility. We will discuss all of your options at your first appointment.
What are my treatment options?
We offer a full range of orthopedic treatments, starting with conservative methods like physical therapy, injections, laser therapy and bracing, to advanced minimally invasive surgical procedures when necessary. Peptides are an option to achieve maximum health benefits for some patients.
When should I see an orthopedic surgeon?
You should consider a consultation if you have joint pain that interferes with sleep or daily living, persistent swelling, reduced range of motion, or an acute injury that doesn't improve with rest. If you are unsure, schedule an appointment to discuss your case.
What conditions do you treat?
Dr. Maline specializes in anterior total hip replacement, knee replacement, fracture care of upper and lower extremities, arthritis and sports injuries.Â
What is OrthoLazer?
OrthoLazer is an advanced cold laser therapy that provides a non-invasive, drug-free option for reducing pain and inflammation while accelerating tissue healing. Laser therapy increases blood flow, reducing inflammation and supports tissue repair resulting in faster recovery.
How long do I have to wait for an appointment?
We prioritize timely access to care. Same-day appointments are often available for patients.
How long will recovery take?
Healing durations depend on your specific surgery and unique wellness profile. We supply a comprehensive roadmap and therapy strategy to facilitate a secure, rapid return to your routine. Most patients achieve better results by integrating specialized physical therapy and OrthoLazer treatments.
Do I need a referral to see you?
While many insurance plans allow you to schedule directly, some require a referral from your primary care physician. Our office staff can discuss your plan and reach out to your primary care physician if a referral is needed.
What happens during my first visit?
During your first visit, we will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and review imaging. Our goal is to provide a clear diagnosis and start discussing a personalized treatment plan on day one.
