Medical Weight Loss
The pioneer of physical medicine, Dr. Frank Krusen, established the specialty back in the 1930s after a personal battle with tuberculosis – a bacterial lung infection that commonly causes unintentional weight loss and muscle loss. In the 1940s and 1950s, the polio epidemic in the US created huge demands for physical therapists and physiatrists with Dr. Krusen’s expertise. The physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) specialty is rooted in physical therapy, but encompasses a whole-body approach to restoring maximum function lost due to an illness or injury.
Primary Care
Office Visits: If your insurance is an HMO/managed care plan and you are required to obtain a referral from your primary care physician, the referral must be obtained before you can be seen for an office visit.

Ultrasound therapy is used to minimize muscle pain and movement dysfunction. Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to deliver deep heat to the treated tissues. The treatments may help reduce stiffness, swelling, and pain, increase circulation, and promote pain-free movement. Ultrasound... Read More
MRI
Beyond that, we can try some interventional pain treatments to stimulate natural healing. But the first step is to see an orthopedic doctor; get an X-ray, MRI, or any other diagnostic tests; and arrive at a diagnosis. From there, we can design a treatment plan specifically suited to meet your needs.

Pinched Nerve
When movement of the spine becomes rigid and painful, that is a clear sign that something is wrong. It might just be a pulled muscle, but it could also be a pinched nerve or degenerative disc disease. It takes advanced skill and extensive training to be able to diagnose spine conditions, because they often cause radiating pain throughout the limbs that can disguise the true cause. Common spine conditions include...
Joint Replacement
Orthopedic surgeons have been performing joint replacement surgery since the early 1900s. The procedure consists of removing a damaged joint and replacing it with a new one. Over time, artificial joints have come closer and closer to performing and feeling like the real thing. Scientists continue to invent new designs and find better materials that can improve the function and durability of an artificial joint. If you have joint damage like arthritis, joint replacement surgery can become necessary when other less invasive and non-surgical options have failed to relieve pain. Joint procedures routinely performed by North Country Orthopaedic Group’s joint replacement specialists include...

Arthroscopy
Treatment – Surgical and Non-Surgical The first course of action for an injured athlete is to see a professional for a thorough evaluation of your pain level, range of motion, and function. Routine diagnostic imaging with X-ray and MRI can confirm the diagnosis.Many sports and exercise injuries affect soft tissues, like muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage, which can benefit from our physical medicine and rehab (PM&R) and therapy services. Partial tears can be resolved without surgery, but more serious injuries may require surgery followed by rehabilitation. When surgery is indicated, a sports medicine doctor will generally recommend arthroscopy surgery. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can simultaneously diagnose and repair joint damage. Because it can be done with 2 or 3 tiny incisions, there is less pain and down time compared to traditional surgery. Learn more about arthroscopy in our patient education center.For northern New York residents, there is no better choice than North Country Orthopaedic Group for sports medicine care. We perform all kinds of minimally invasive surgeries and have several specialists who focus on non-surgical methods for injured athletes. Call (315) 782-1650 to schedule a visit in Watertown, NY or you can use our online appointment request form.

Sports Medicine
Common sports injuries that can affect children include ankle sprains, shin splints, knee injuries, shoulder pain, and others.
Physical Therapy
North Country Orthopaedic Group performs many surgeries and interventional procedures in our high tech, state-of-the-art ambulatory surgical center. The surgery center is located in the same building as the orthopedic office, so there is no need to drive across town for your orthopedic care. Having an ambulatory surgery center on site benefits both patients and their physicians. Everyone is within close proximity to each other, making it easy to achieve seamless communication and coordination from start to finish. Studies have shown that better patient outcomes are achieved when ancillary services, like ambulatory surgery and physical therapy, are integrated into an orthopedic practice. Another perk of having our own ambulatory surgical center is the draw it has for the area’s most talented orthopedic surgeons. Since 1959, North Country Orthopaedic Group has been advancing orthopedic care in New York’s North Country region. For more information, visit our Ambulatory Surgery Center website or call North Country Orthopedic Group in Watertown, NY at (315) 782-1650 for a surgery appointment.
