What We Do

Orthopaedic Care

• Arthritis

  Arthritis can make normal movements painful and is common as joints age or are damaged. At OSC, we understand the difficulties of living with arthritis and we work with patients to identify treatments that will help them find some relief and increased mobility. There are many kinds of arthritis and our physicians are incredibly knowledgeable about the condition and available treatment options.

• Arthroscopy

  In some cases, our physicians might recommend arthroscopy to help further examine and treat a patient’s unique condition. Arthroscopy allows the physician to get a clear picture of what is taking place internally by inserting a small instrument with a camera inside the joint. The physicians at OSC recommend and perform arthroscopic procedures when necessary to make a clear diagnosis and provide effective treatment.

• Joint Replacement

  Injury to or deterioration of critical joints in our bodies such as our hips and knees can cause pain and interfere with day-to-day activities. At OSC, we specialize in joint injuries and can identify if patients are good candidates for joint replacement procedures. Our deep expertise in joint replacement means high-quality care and outstanding success rates for our patients. Joint replacement can be an appealing option to help patients regain mobility and comfort in injured joints. In addition, the Spokane Joint Replacement Center, located within Orthopaedic Specialty Clinic, offers specialized hip and knee joint replacement with research studies helping to further the field.

• Sports Injuries

  Sports injuries are common and can vary in severity and area of the body. Such injuries can include ACL tears, meniscal tears, and ankle fractures, among others. Our physicians who specialize in sports injuries are exceptional at identifying the injury and most effective course of treatment. OSC is home to some of our region’s top surgeons and therapists, each of whom is highly successful in getting patients back to their active lifestyles.

• Workplace Injuries

  For some people, injuries can be a result of an accident in the workplace. At OSC, we see patients who have sustained injuries at work and it’s important that our physicians understand the injury and can map out a successful treatment plan to help get patients back to health and back to work. If you have sustained a workplace injury, please contact our office to learn more about your options and how we can help you get back to health.

• Physical Therapy

  Physical therapy (often abbreviated as PT) is primarily concerned with the remediation of impairments and disabilities and the promotion of mobility, functional ability, quality of life and movement potential through examination, evaluation, diagnosis and physical intervention carried out by fully trained and licensed physical therapy specialists. Physical therapy is an important component of the comprehensive care we offer. We have physical therapists on-site to consult with our physicians and provide therapy that addresses the specific injury and aligns with the physician’s recommendations. Offering patients medical treatment and physical therapy under one roof translates to better and more coordinated care for patients.

Orthopaedic Research

• Research

  Advancing orthopaedics. At OSC, we believe that research is a critical component of our field. Our physicians stay up to speed on the latest research so we can continue to further our understanding of orthopaedic practices and bring the highest quality care to our patients. We even conduct important research studies within our clinic so that we have a hand in shaping the future of orthopaedics. To learn more about the research Dr. Scott is leading within OSC, click here.
