General Practitioners

Arthritis
Fibromyalgia
Caitlyn says water’s unique properties help regain function and mobility by taking the stress off joints and muscles as well as provide the kind of resistance to build athleticism you can’t always get on dry land activities. She also says therapy pools offer treatment for a wide range of conditions such as arthritis, acute and chronic back conditions, balance disorders, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, upper extremity injuries, and neurological challenges such as Parkinson’s.
Plantar Fasciitis
Pediatric Care
ORA Orthopedics is proud to provide specialized pediatric care for our young patients in the Quad Cities. Children and teenagers can suffer from a number of common orthopedic injuries, including broken bones, fractures and growth plate trauma. ORA’s doctors are specially trained to treat conditions such as clubfoot, scoliosis and neuromuscular challenges. We are proud to serve children and families in Bettendorf, IA, Moline, IL, Davenport IA, and nearby communities.
Primary Care
We are excited to announce our 10th Annual Orthopedic Conference for Primary Care will be held on Friday, October 21, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Waterfront Convention Center in Bettendorf, IA. This free, full-day didactic conference will focus on the evaluation and treatment of general orthopedic pain, conditions, and injuries for the healthcare professional audience.
Family Practice
Annually, ORA Orthopedics holds a full-day conference focusing on the diagnosis and initial management of the orthopedic problems most commonly seen by the primary care provider. The conference is intended to enable primary care and family practice physicians, emergency room physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and allied health professionals to develop and maintain an up-to-date knowledge base and skill set in managing common orthopedic problems. The conference is a combination of didactic presentations by ORA Orthopedics’ physicians and group break-out sessions that allow attendees hands-on mastery of basic and advanced exam techniques.
Emergency Care
Urgent OrthoCARE offers an alternative to overcrowded emergency rooms. For faster service, lower cost, and healthy waiting rooms, visit our urgent care clinic today. Urgent OrthoCARE has in-house digital x-ray to help treat and diagnose your injury at the time of your visit. MRI services are also available and appointments can conveniently be scheduled once insurance authorization has been obtained.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
After carpal tunnel surgery to restore her flexibility and strength in her wrist, Marisol Koss is making beautiful music again.

Ultrasound
There are several methods to reduce discomfort and maximize strength and range of motion, including ultrasound therapy, painless electrical stimulation, and gentle exercise regimens. As an ORA Orthopedics patient, we believe in working in partnership with you to develop the best rehabilitation program possible. Rest assured that our physical therapists will help you achieve your lifestyle and health goals, so you can return to the activities you enjoy the most.
MRI
We feel they truly care about my well being. They were extremely helpful in explaining the details of the X-rays and what to expect with upcoming MRI. John Tyron was very informative on what to consider and possible scenarios. He was very friendly and I felt comfortable and at ease. I was comfortable also asking questions and he had no problem answering all.
Radiology
The charges you incur will depend on the level of service completed by your provider, the type of procedure that will be done, and the diagnostic tests that are necessary. Please call our business office at (563) 322-0971 to get an approximate quote or estimate for the office visit or surgical procedure that will be done. It is important to note that this estimate will only be for ORA Orthopedics’ services performed and will not include hospital or surgery center charges or other professional services such as anesthesia or radiology.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Orthopedic robotic technology uses either a preoperative CT scan or a series of x-rays to render a three- and four-dimensional digital view of the knee. This provides an accurate view to assist your surgeon in designing a personalized plan based on the specifics of your individual knee anatomy for optimal mechanical alignment. The assisted-robotic technology functions like a high-tech GPS system utilizing optical trackers and cameras to determine the position of your knee in space. Throughout the procedure, the robot provides a real-time view of the knee to assist the surgeon if necessary to ensure accuracy and precision in the placement of the implant.

General Surgery
Our surgery centers focus on offering a high quality, service oriented environment for your surgical procedure. Our goal is to provide first-class surgical services in a safe, welcoming environment, one in which we would be happy to treat our own families.
Orthopedics
The PAs at ORA Orthopedics are highly trained and experienced in orthopedics. They work closely with their physician in the coordination of your care and treatment.
Sciatica
Hydrostatic pressure: Water pressure pushes against your body and provides health benefits. “Hydrostatic pressure decreases swelling and improves joint position and awareness,” Caitlyn explains. This pressure combined with buoyancy compresses the body, alleviating chronic pain, lymphedema, and sciatica.
Scoliosis Surgery
Arthroscopy
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Depending on the type of condition or injury our orthopedic surgeons perform both minimally invasive and open surgical procedures. Minimally invasive surgery is a less invasive approach than open surgery to treat several types of orthopedic conditions. Arthroscopic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgical procedure. The advantage of minimally invasive orthopedic surgery over traditional open surgery is that the joint or affected area does not have to be opened up fully. Instead, only two or three small incisions are made – one for the endoscope and one or two for other surgical instruments. This reduces recovery time, results in only a small scar, and decreases the trauma to the connective tissue. However, in certain circumstances, an open surgery may be necessary in order to best repair the damage or injury and obtain the best surgical outcome.

Bunion Surgery

Your satisfaction and well-being is always our main focus, as it has been since our founding in 1963.
