Orthopedic and Sports Medicine: Hip, Knee, and Shoulder

Orthopedic and sports medicine is a specialized field dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and preventing injuries related to sports and physical activity. This service is tailored to help you regain strength and mobility to get back to your favorite activities. Here at the Little Rock orthopedic clinic of Dr. William Hefley, we specialize in treating conditions that affect the hip, knee, and shoulder joints. This includes common conditions such as:

• Arthritis
• Tendonitis
• Fractures and tears
• Overuse injuries
• Much more

Our approach utilizes surgical and non-surgical treatments with personalized care plans. One key surgical intervention is joint replacement. This an effective surgical procedure that can treat a wide variety of joint problems, including severe arthritis. With his years of experience, Dr. William Hefley can expertly use a minimally invasive technique for joint replacement, so that you can regain your mobility and be pain-free.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a cornerstone of rehabilitation and recovery. It’s designed to help patients recover from injuries and surgeries or manage chronic conditions. It utilizes techniques such as targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education to regain your physical abilities.

Our physical therapists work closely with patients to develop personalized plans that address their specific needs. This approach can help you by:

• Improving your mobility
• Strengthening your muscles
• Increasing your flexibility
• Educating you on proper movement and posture

Through this, you can achieve optimal function after an injury or surgery.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative treatment that harnesses the body’s natural healing abilities. It works by collecting concentrated platelets from your blood and injecting them into the injured area. PRP therapy can accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints.

This minimally invasive procedure is an excellent option for patients seeking alternatives to surgery or those looking to enhance the healing process.

Viscosupplementation

If you’re having a tough time with osteoarthritis in your knee, viscosupplementation might be something to consider. It’s a treatment where a gel-like substance, known as hyaluronic acid, is injected into the affected joint. This fluid helps to lubricate and cushion the joint, making movement smoother and less painful. It can even help put off the need for surgery a bit longer.

The Little Rock Orthopedic Approach

At our orthopedic clinic, our approach to care is fueled by a genuine passion for empowering patients to lead fun, active lifestyles. We understand the importance of mobility and physical activity, whether you’re an athlete eager to return to play or someone looking forward to enjoying everyday activities without discomfort.
