In June of 2020, I saw Dr. Kerr in Seattle to address the chronic pain in my back which was likely the result of a fall from a ladder that occurred years before when I broke my collar bone and back. Making that appointment was without doubt, one of the best decisions I have ever made!

I had initially tried conservative, non-invasive treatments including massage, chiropractic and physical therapy to relieve numbness in my hands, and pain that radiated down my arms and across my upper and lower back, but the non-invasive treatments provided only short term relief.I needed a better understanding of my back problems and a realistic solution to fix them before my diminished activity began to affect my overall health.

All previous x-rays, CAT scans, MRI scans, or other test results relating to your medical problem. If you have a question or problem that needs the attention of an orthopedic surgeon, please call us during office hours. Our surgeons are often in the middle of patient exams so please expect to speak to or leave a message with a nurse or staff member.

Tends to develop due to past injuries (ankle fracture or ankle instability) and is now commonly treated with Ankle Replacement vs the older Fusion Method. Generally happens in Spring & Summer due to return to Sport. Dr. Reed treats this with a surgery using a small incision and an accelerated post-op protocol to get you back to your activities.
