Spine

Medical graphics highlight hip, spine, and ankle pain, representing orthopedic treatment and musculoskeletal pain management.

Your spine is a complex structure of small bones (vertebrae), cushioning disks, nerves, joints, ligaments and muscles. This part of your anatomy is susceptible to injury, arthritis, herniated disks, pinched nerves and other problems. When spine issues arise, they can cause discomfort and disrupt daily life. At AOSMLV, our musculoskeletal pain specialists offer personalized spine pain treatment to relieve pain and help restore mobility after an injury or to treat a chronic condition.

Joint Diseases

A senior woman experiences shoulder pain, commonly treated by musculoskeletal pain specialists and orthopedic doctors at AOSMLV in Las Vegas.

A joint is formed by the ends of 2 or more bones that are connected by thick bands of tissue called ligaments with the synovium producing a natural lubricant that allows smooth, pain-free movement. The knee joint is formed by the lower leg bone, called the tibia or shin bone, and the thigh bone, called the femur. The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint, formed by the ball, or femoral head, at the upper end of the thigh bone, and the rounded socket, or acetabulum, in the pelvis.

The ends of the bone in a joint are covered with a smooth, soft material called cartilage. Normal cartilage allows nearly frictionless movement. The rest of the surfaces of the joint are covered by a thin, smooth tissue lining called the synovium. The synovium produces fluid that acts as a lubricant to reduce friction and wear in the joint.

Common Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Posts-traumatic arthritis
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
  • Avascular Necrosis

Foot & Ankle

An orthopedic and sports medicine physician examines a patient's ankle mobility, providing specialized care for joint injuries and musculoskeletal conditions.

The foot and ankle are two of the most versatile and complex areas of your body. One foot alone contains 26 bones supported by a network of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. While they often go unnoticed when functioning properly, issues such as bone and joint pain or musculoskeletal conditions can make even simple activities involving the foot and ankle difficult to endure.

Our podiatry specialists provide expert care to help patients find relief and regain mobility, using a personalized approach with advanced treatments and rehab strategies to address foot and ankle injuries, chronic conditions, and mobility challenges.

Podiatry treatments include injury care, orthotics, joint therapy, diabetic foot care, and minimally invasive procedures to help improve long-term foot and ankle health.

Common Conditions

  • Bunions
  • Bursitis
  • Damaged tendons
  • Fractured foot or broken toe

Hip

A man holds his knee and lower back in discomfort, highlighting the need for orthopedic treatment and evaluation by a spine pain specialist in Las Vegas

The hip is the largest ball-and-socket joint in the body. The acetabulum (pelvic bone) functions as the socket cupping the upper end of the femur bone, the ball. The hip joints connect the lower body to the upper body, support the body’s weight, and assist balance and posture. Hips are critical to our ability to stand, walk, or run. A variety of problems can develop in these joints, including inflammation, fractures, arthritis, muscle strains, and sometimes cancer. Common concerns include pain with certain movements, clicking and popping, groin pain, pain that moves into the thighs, and difficulty bending.  When a joint disease or injury disrupts the normal function of the ball and socket joints, it may result in pain and/or limited movement  that requires orthopedic treatment or sports medicine evaluation.. Whether you’re just starting to notice a change in your hip’s functionality, are struggling with hip pain, or have undergone an unsuccessful hip surgery, AOSMLV has you covered.

Common Conditions

  • Arthritis
  • Bone spurs
  • Bursitis
  • Cartilage degeneration
  • Dysplasia
  • Fractures
  • Hip joint deformities

  • Nerve conditions, such as a pinched nerve
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Osteoporosis

Treatment Options

  • Arthroplasty

Knee

A physician performs a knee assessment to diagnose joint disease and provide targeted orthopedic treatment.

The knee is the largest joint in the body and is central to nearly every routine activity. The knee joint is formed by the ends of 3 bones: the lower end of the thigh bone (femur), the upper end of the shin bone (tibia), and the kneecap (patella). Thick, tough tissue bands called ligaments connect the bones and stabilize the joint. A smooth, plastic like lining called cartilage covers the ends of the bones and prevents them from rubbing against each other, allowing for flexible and nearly frictionless movement. Cartilage also serves as a shock absorber, cushioning the bones from the forces between them. Finally, a soft tissue called synovium lines the joint and produces a lubricating fluid that reduces friction and wear that requires orthopedic treatment or sports medicine evaluation.

Common Conditions

  • Arthritis
  • Dislocation
  • Fracture to the patella (kneecap)
  • Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
  • Meniscus tears
  • Ripped or torn tendons
  • Trauma to the cartilage or bone

Treatment Options

  • Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction
  • Arthroplasty
  • Arthroscopy of the knee
  • Ligament repair and reconstruction
  • Meniscal repair
