Our Care Philosophy
About Our Practice

Dedicated to Restoring Movement, Relieving Pain, and Rebuilding Lives

American Orthopedics S.C. is a physician-led orthopedic practice specializing in disorders of the spine, joints, and musculoskeletal system. We believe exceptional outcomes come from pairing surgical expertise with conservative, evidence-based care — exhausting non-operative options first and operating only when it's truly the right answer for you.

Conservative-First Approach

Surgery is one tool among many. We build stepwise plans that start with the least invasive effective option.

Advanced Diagnostics

Precise diagnosis using modern imaging and diagnostic injections, so treatment targets the true pain generator.

Continuity of Care

The physician who evaluates you manages your care from first visit through full recovery.

Our Services

Comprehensive Spine & Orthopedic Treatment

From advanced surgical procedures to targeted, image-guided pain management — every option, under one roof.

Schedule a Consultation

Discectomy & Spine Surgery

Surgical relief for herniated discs compressing spinal nerves. Our minimally invasive and microdiscectomy techniques remove damaged disc material through small incisions — relieving leg and arm pain while preserving healthy tissue, often on an outpatient basis.

Facet Joint Injections

Targeted relief for arthritis-related neck and back pain. Using fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance, we deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly into the facet joints — both confirming the pain source and providing lasting relief so you can return to activity and therapy.

Learn More

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Long-lasting pain relief without surgery. RFA uses controlled thermal energy to quiet the small nerves that transmit facet joint pain — typically providing 6 to 24 months of relief after a successful diagnostic block, with a same-day, needle-only procedure.
