Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Our orthopedic doctors understand that knee pain can have a major effect on your lifestyle and keep you from performing routine, everyday activities. To schedule an appointment with one of our knee doctors, please call (740) 788-9220 or request an appointment online.
Plantar Fasciitis
Medical Weight Loss
Overuse injuries can cause lower back pain, and back doctors frequently treat people with overuse issues as well as patients with muscle sprains and strains due to quick movements or improper lifting techniques. Middle and lower back pain often shows up when people are carrying extra pounds around their waist, such as a pregnant woman, but the pain usually goes away after she gives birth. However, if the pain is due to obesity, the strain of the extra weight can cause chronic discomfort that usually worsens. Since weight loss can help reduce or eliminate back pain, back doctors will oftentimes support patients who need assistance losing weight. However, if weight loss alone does not improve the issue, the back doctor can offer other treatment options.
Emergency Care
We proudly offer MRIs, Orthopedic Urgent Care visits, X-rays, and bone density DEXA scans at a much lower cost when compared to local hospitals, allowing you to get the expert, high-quality care you need for less.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Hand doctors use their special expertise to help people with hand pain whether that pain is due to an accident or if it has developed for another reason. Arthritis of the hands is one condition that hand doctors frequently treat, and though it tends to happen more often in older patients, anyone can have it. Other people can develop issues that are similar to hand arthritis known as repetitive stress or wear-and-tear injuries. Of these conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome is the most well known, and hand doctors often treat office workers and others who use a computer and frequently type in their job for this condition.

MRI
Physician assistants are highly trained healthcare providers who work under the supervision of our orthopedic doctors to take medical histories; conduct exams; diagnose and treat bone, joint, and muscle injuries and conditions; order and interpret tests, such as X-rays and MRI; prescribe medications; and assist our doctors during surgery. Our PAs are trained to recognize when patients need the attention of a supervising doctor or additional specialist.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography

Orthopedics
Orthopedic Specialists & Sports Medicine is often featured in area news media as an expert in orthopedics. Be sure to bookmark this page and check back often to see the latest news and events on Orthopedic Specialists & Sports Medicine.
Sciatica
Whiplash
Neck doctors also see many patients who have suffered whiplash, a severe type of neck sprain. While this pain can be intense, it usually improves and that person can return to their normal life and activities. People with arthritis seek out neck doctors too. After these patients talk to their doctor about their symptoms and concerns, the neck doctor can work with them and find ways to improve their pain and overall quality of life.
Arthroscopy
Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons at Orthopedic Specialists & Sports Medicine, Edward L. Westerheide, M.D., Brad L. Bernacki, M.D., Alex Tancevski, M.D., and Benjamin W. Burkett, M.D., are specialty-trained in diagnosing and treating a variety of knee injuries and conditions. Our doctors always strive to find a conservative treatment for you first before recommending surgery. However, if knee surgery is the best option, our surgeons have extensive experience in performing surgical knee procedures, such as knee replacement, partial knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, and knee arthroscopy. Dr. Westerheide is also trained to perform customized knee replacements through ConforMIS. Our surgeons are dedicated to providing compassionate, expert orthopedic care to get you moving and keep you active.
Wound Care
Ankle Surgery
Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons at Orthopedic Specialists & Sports Medicine, Edward L. Westerheide, M.D., Brad L. Bernacki, M.D., and Alex Tancevski, M.D., are specialty-trained in diagnosing and treating a variety of ankle and foot injuries and conditions. Our doctors always strive to find a conservative treatment option for you first before recommending surgery. However, if ankle surgery is the best option, our surgeons have extensive experience in performing surgical procedures, such as ankle reconstruction. Our surgeons are dedicated to providing compassionate, expert orthopedic care to get you moving and keep you active.
Joint Replacement
When people contact a doctor because of their joint pain, it is usually because the methods they have used to manage that pain on their own are no longer working. Sometimes their doctor can find new ways to help them. However, if the joint damage is severe, that patient will be referred to a joint replacement doctor. Joint replacement doctors have the specialized skills to assess a joint and determine if either a partial or total joint replacement is needed. They educate patients on joint replacement by explaining not only the procedure but also the follow-up care and rehabilitation that is needed to help make the recovery as swift and successful as possible.
Hand Surgery
There are many bones, tendons, ligaments, and tissues in the hand, and hand doctors need to have specialized knowledge and skills to treat hand conditions properly and fully understand the hand's complex anatomy. Some issues can be painful but fairly straightforward to treat, such as a broken finger. Other hand problems can be more challenging, such as when someone is dealing with nerve damage. Regardless of the issue, a hand doctor will carefully assess it and determine if there is a conservative treatment that can help. If not, he or she may recommend hand surgery as a treatment option.
Bunions
Arthroscopy
Hip Replacement
Hip doctors also recognize that the impact of hip problems can take a toll on a patient, and sometimes, those patients are unable to walk or are fearful they will fall because their hip feels unstable. Hip doctors can help patients dealing with these challenging issues and others in order to restore them to better health and a better quality of life. Oftentimes, hip injuries can be treated with conservative methods, such as injections. However, there are some instances where nonsurgical methods do not provide adequate relief and surgery is necessary, like a hip replacement.
Knee Replacement
Oftentimes, knee injuries can be treated with conservative methods, such as injections. However, there are some instances where nonsurgical treatments do not provide adequate relief and surgery is necessary, like a total knee replacement.
Knee Arthroscopy
Reconstructive Surgery
Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons at Orthopedic Specialists & Sports Medicine, Edward L. Westerheide, M.D., Brad L. Bernacki, M.D., and Alex Tancevski, M.D., are specialty-trained in treating a variety of traumatic injuries. Our doctors always strive to find a conservative treatment for you first before recommending surgery. However, if surgery is the best option, our surgeons have extensive experience in performing surgical procedures, such as reconstructive surgery and fracture repair. Our orthopedic trauma doctors are dedicated to providing compassionate, expert orthopedic care to get you moving and keep you active.

Sports Medicine
Thank you for choosing Orthopedic Specialists & Sports Medicine for your specialized orthopedic care. We understand that patients can sometimes feel overwhelmed when it comes to seeking medical care, so in this section, you'll find links to a wide range of our online resources, such as patient forms, supplemental information, and patient education.
Physical Therapy
Our specialty-trained physical therapy experts provide comprehensive therapy services. Combining specific exercises and activities to help patients restore joint and muscular function, strength, and range of motion for sports and orthopedic injuries, our experts are dedicated to helping patients return to their daily activities quickly and safely.
Frozen Shoulder
Tennis Elbow
Elbow doctors often work with senior patients who have rheumatoid arthritis and are able to offer them solutions that can reduce their pain and help improve their quality of life. Another patient group elbow doctors work with frequently are athletes, both those who are serious about their sport and those who participate just for exercise and recreation. The names of these common elbow conditions often reflect the sport that person participates in, such as tennis elbow or golfer's elbow. However, a person does not need to play these sports in order to develop these conditions, and anyone who overuses their elbow joint or misuses it is at risk for these injuries as well as similar repetitive stress injuries.

Achilles Tendonitis
The ankle joint is at a high risk for injury, especially during sports activities, and ankle doctors often see athletes that have suffered an ankle injury. Basketball, football, and soccer players as well as other athletes who pivot and turn commonly suffer ankle sprains. Runners frequently come to ankle doctors with symptoms of Achilles tendonitis. Dancers are susceptible to ankle inversion injuries, which is when the ankle rolls painfully outward. But just as often, ankle doctors treat injuries that happen to people during the course of daily life, such as when a person takes an awkward step and twists their ankle.
Ankle Instability
Ankle Sprain
Other patients ankle doctors frequently work with are those with ankle arthritis. The sensation of that pain is sometimes different than people with ankle injuries. Typically, people with ankle arthritis experience swelling, stiffness, and tenderness, as well as joint pain. Regardless of the injury or condition, an ankle doctor has the specialized knowledge to help restore patients to reduced pain and better health.
Bunions Problems
Some of the issues that foot doctors often treat are related to foot deformities, like bunions, hammertoes, or fallen arches. People with foot injuries often seek out a foot specialist as well, whether they are suffering from something like a foot or toe fracture or another condition, such as plantar fasciitis, which is caused by a strain on the large ligament on the bottom of the foot. Foot doctors also frequently work with patients who have arthritis. Besides diagnosing and treating people, foot doctors will also educate them on the foot and the different foot issues, so they can avoid more injuries or damage in the future.
