Education

We are committed to providing you with a complete understanding of your medical condition as well as the recommended treatment options. If surgery is indicated, we believe that proper preoperative education and preparation are essential components of a successful procedure and outcome. We will partner with you and invite you to take charge of your own health and well being in order to achieve the best result possible. Motivation and success stem from a proper understanding of your injury or condition as well as an understanding of the reasoning behind specific treatment recommendations. We have found that this strategy significantly improves outcomes over the long term.

Innovation and Evolution

There has been exponential growth in both orthopaedic technology as well as information technology in recent years. While some recently developed technology truly enhances care and improves outcomes, other technology can be harmful, ineffective, or expensive without improving outcomes. Dr. Austin and his staff are continuously evolving and improving. We carefully review new technology and do our best to offer and implement innovative strategies that are safe, effective, and reasonably priced. We incorporate new conservative and surgical treatment options that have demonstrated improved outcomes in our experience and in the literature. Novel conservative treatment options have emerged including new protocols and techniques in physical therapy/home exercises, yoga, weight and cardiovascular training, and injectable biotechnology. Surgical treatment options are also evolving and include innovative surgical approaches that minimize soft tissue trauma, image-guided operating room equipment, and patient-customized implants.

Personalized Approach

Each person is unique and has an individual set of activities, dreams, and goals to accomplish. Our comprehensive, patient centered approach allows for the development of a customized treatment plan that is tailored to your specific situation so that we can help you to recover from your current injury/condition and help you to optimize your health and lifestyle moving forward.
