CONDITIONS WE TREAT

The main focus at Center for Specialty Care is to provide the latest non-surgical and surgical techniques for orthopedics, spine, and podiatry.  Comprehensive care starts from the time someone suffers an injury to their bones, ligaments, or muscles and continues through rehabilitation.  Our staff is on the field or in gymnasium at many local sporting events helping prevent injury and provide immediate care when an accident occurs. 

Consider Us Your Best Option for These Conditions:

Arthritis
There are over 100 types of arthritis.  The majority of arthritis patients seen in our offices have osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.  Our staff is knowledgeable in all areas of treatment and solutions to reduce the pain.

Back Pain
Lower back pain prevents people from going to work, participating in recreational activities, and enjoying life.  The majority of care provided at CSC is non-surgical therapy and treatments to avoid surgery.  Exercise, injections, and therapy help reduce the pain and may be the solution for a patient. 

Fractures
Emergency care for broken bones is provided by Center for Specialty Care physicians at local hospital and our offices.  Because many of our support staff are in attendance at local sporting events and are on the field during events, many times we are the first responders. 

Joint Pain – Knee, Hip, Shoulder, Foot, Ankle, Hand
Chronic joint pain reduces the quality of life of many.  New surgical techniques to improve joint cartilage, strengthen ligaments, and - when necessary - replace joints allows many patients to continue an active life.  CSC is well trained in providing the best options for each patient.

Orthopedic Emergency Care at Local Hospital
Physicians at CSC provide orthopedic trauma coverage in emergencies.  Our team is an integral component to the health care system in southern Minnesota. Ask for Dr. Welchlin's team when in the emergency room!
