He recommended physical therapy instead and gave me specific exercises to address the issue. It’s six weeks later and I’m having no pain and feeling more confident than ever! Thanks, Dr. Nguyen and Texas

Texas Orthopedic Specialists doctors are highly respected within their field. Many of them participate in research and advancements within their individual specialties. These physicians work on research and design projects for advancements of treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, paving the way for others in their field. Their research has been widely recognized and published in leading scientific journals and they are highly sought after as speakers and lecturers throughout the community.

New Alliance Location

A good thing got even better for Texas Orthopedic Specialists patients in the Alliance area. The new, expanded office location on Golden Triangle Boulevard offers magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), advanced computer-based diagnostic imaging that utilizes a large magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of the structures of the body and detect abnormalities. This cutting-edge MRI is particularly useful for imaging soft tissue not well visualized on X-rays to help diagnose the results of trauma, bone infection, and nerve damage.

The office also offers the latest digital radiography, new X-ray technology that uses an electronic sensor instead of X-ray film and instantly produces digital images that can be stored and displayed on a computer. This technology reduces radiation exposure by 80-90% and is more earth-friendly without harmful waste and chemicals disposed into the environment.

This advanced MRI and digital X-ray technology is now available in both office locations. Durable medical equipment (DME) is also offered onsite providing maximum protection and patient satisfaction. The staff is able to fit most braces in office whether custom or off-the-shelf.

Patient Education

The doctors and staff at Texas Orthopedic Specialists place an emphasis on patient education and empowerment. They don’t just want to get you back in the game now but offer you the knowledge you need to prevent injuries in the future. Their website, TXOrtho.net, offers educational videos on topics such as sports medicine, joint replacement, and general topics on the orthopedic care and treatment of the shoulder, hip, knee, hand, wrist and elbow, and foot and ankle. There’s even information to help you determine whether you’re a good candidate for a joint replacement. The team recently welcomed Elliott N. Wityk, DPM, AACFAS who brings with him experience in foot and ankle trauma, sporting injuries, and diabetic limb salvage.

Conservative Care

Although each of the Texas Orthopedic Specialists doctors is a highly skilled, trained, and experienced physicians, for them surgery is always the last resort, after all other viable treatment options have been exhausted. Whether you’re suffering with a tear in your rotator cuff, an overstretched Achilles tendon, or repeated ankle sprains, these doctors will show you ways to rest, support the injury, control pain, and consider other treatment options such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to strengthen and speed healing before they recommend proceeding with surgery. Along the way, they’ll talk to you about what they’re recommending and why in order to address any questions or concerns you may have.
