Orthopedic Services

Orthopedics is the branch of medicine that deals with prevention or correction of disorders involving the skeleton, joints, muscles, fascia and other supporting structures such as ligaments and cartilage.
The physician who practices orthopedics is called an orthopedist or orthopedic surgeon.

Arthritis & Rheumatology

Arthritis is the condition of inflammation of the joints due to infection, metabolic or other problems. Among the symptoms are pain, swelling, soreness, stiffness and difficulty with movement of the affected area of the body.

Hand Therapy

Hand Therapy is the rehabilitation service that serves to help restore full mobility and function to the hand, wrist and fingers following injury, surgery, structural deformity or disease.

The complex structure of the hand includes the 8 bones of the wrist, the 5 bones of the hand, called metacarpals, and the 14 bones of the fingers, called the phalanges.

Eastside Medical Center's Physical Therapy/Rehab Department has staff who are specially trained to administer hand therapy and treatment to patients with this need.

Joint & Spine Pavilion

The Joint & Spine Pavilion is a 17-bed, specialty unit for patients having elective surgery for joint replacement or spinal surgery. The Pavilion features a unique concept. There is little evidence that medical equipment, instrumentation and technology are present to monitor and treat post-operative patients, who though needing a new joint or a spine procedure, are otherwise in good health. Entering the Pavilion feels like walking into an upscale hotel or spa. Despite appearances, this unit has the latest technology for pain management, rehabilitation, and surgical techniques.
