Biologics
Report
Biologics are a newer class of therapies that have great possibilities for treating orthopedic injuries. We do not like to use the term "Stem Cell" because that term has been used mostly to imply that an injection anywhere would lead to regeneration of tissue. These therapies are considered "off label" and are not currently approved by the FDA.
Elbow
Report
The elbow is a hinge joint, much like the knee and hip, where two bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) meet the bone of the upper arm (humerus). Allowing you to bend and straighten your arm, wrist and fingers, the elbow has many ligaments and muscles working together with the bones to maintain healthy mobility.
Foot & Ankle
Report
Your feet are responsible for many roles in everyday activity: supporting your bodyweight, providing leverage during movement and adjusting to varying surfaces. Mobility between the foot and ankle is crucial, and the foot and ankle complex is a complicated hinge joint.
Composed of the talus of the ankle, fibula and tibia of the shin, and a number of ligaments and tendons, the health of the foot and ankle is based on how well and cohesive its anatomy is.Common foot and ankle injuries include ankle sprain, plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis. ORCA advocates nonoperative care whenever possible but understand that operation may be the only solution.

Hip
Report
Your hip is a pivotable joint to our body, working together with tendons, bones, and muscles collectively to move the body and propel us through life, which is why mobility is crucial.
The most common mobility deficiency resides in the hips, possibly because of the "ball and socket" anatomy giving you ability to rotate and move forward, and the stability to be able to hold your bodyweight, or because of overuse and wear-and- tear of constantly being in motion.
