About this service

What is orthopedics?

Our general orthopedics service focuses on the upper body and lower-extremity joints above the foot — hand and wrist, shoulder and elbow, knee, and complex joint conditions. Led by board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Ron Bowman and PA-C Landon Masterfield, our orthopedic team handles everything from sprains and fractures to arthritis and ligament damage, with the same conservative-first philosophy we bring to podiatric care.

From symptoms to solutions

How we diagnose

Every visit begins with a careful history and a hands-on physical exam. We use on-site digital X-ray for most musculoskeletal injuries, and coordinate MRI or ultrasound when soft-tissue detail matters. Functional assessments — strength, range of motion, flexibility, and gait — round out the picture so we can build a treatment plan around how you actually move and what you actually need.

Treatment options

Treatments we offer

We believe great orthopedic care starts with the least invasive, most effective approach. Surgery is on the table when it is genuinely the right call — but it is never the first option.

Joint injections
Corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid injections for joint pain, inflammation, and arthritis when conservative care alone isn't enough.
Support & stabilization
Bracing, splinting, taping, and orthotic devices fit in clinic.
Physical therapy
Personalized programs focused on strength, flexibility, and function — coordinated with our in-house PT team.
Lifestyle modifications
Activity adjustments, posture improvement, weight management, and joint-friendly exercise plans.
Minimally invasive arthroscopy
Diagnostic and treatment procedures for the knee, shoulder, and other joints.
Surgical procedures
Fracture repairs, advanced extremity procedures, and revision surgery when conservative care has been exhausted.
Total shoulder replacement
For severe shoulder arthritis or joint deterioration where conservative care has failed — replaces the damaged joint with metal, plastic, or ceramic components to restore pain-free motion. High success rate with structured post-op rehab.
