Tendon & Muscle Tears

Damage to tendons and torn muscles can cause debilitating pain that oftentimes won’t go away without expert care. Treatment can include surgical and non-surgical methods, depending on the type of injury and its severity.

Achilles Tear

An achilles tear is an injury to the tendon that connects the calf muscle to the heel bone. It is often caused by an intense force on the back of the heel or from an abrupt stop.

Elbow Dislocations

An elbow dislocation occurs when the joint surfaces of an elbow are separated. Although an elbow dislocation is usually very obvious, an x-ray, physical examination, and CT scan or MRI may be used to determine the extent of the injury to plan the necessary course of treatment.
