Chelsea Orthopedic Specialists use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques for diagnosing your problem. In addition to the patient's medical history and thorough physical examination, on-site x-rays are used to diagnose most problems.
In some cases, additional studies such as CT or MRI may be needed to confirm diagnosis. Should further studies be needed, the staff at Chelsea Orthopedic Specialists will work closely with you to schedule these studies as quickly and conveniently as possible. A Chelsea orthopedic surgeon will then discuss findings with you to make sure that you have a complete understanding of your diagnosis.
The staff at Chelsea Orthopedic Specialists have your best interest in mind and will answer any questions you may have.

The treatment focus at Chelsea Orthopedic Specialists is patient wellness. For many patients, a non-surgical approach is recommended which may include medications, supplements, exercise and physical therapy and/or occupational therapy, bracing or splinting.
When surgery is deemed to be in the best interest of the patient, the surgeon will determine the least invasive and most reliable technique for you. Everyone is unique, and Chelsea Orthopedic Specialists will take the time and use their knowledge to provide you with the best care, and prepare you for successful recovery and rehabilitation.
