Labor and Delivery
Answer: General anesthesia, or “going to sleep”, is commonly used, but there are other options which may be used in addition or instead. Regional anesthetic, such as an epidural or spinal, is an attractive alternative. An epidural anesthetic is most commonly known for its frequent use during childbirth. In total joint replacement, it allows the patient to undergo the surgical procedure and then additionally can provide excellent pain relief during the early postoperative phase. Patients who choose epidural anesthetic can then either stay awake, be sedated, or have a general anesthetic in addition. Femoral nerve blocks are also becoming more popular. In this procedure, local anesthetic is injected around the main nerve that provides sensation to the knee, and a pump continues to deliver medicine after surgery to relieve pain. Finally, pain medications can be administered by mouth or by i.v. via a PCA, or “patient controlled analgesia” pump, which allows the patient to push a button and get computer-controlled administration of medication.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel is a common condition involving swelling around the wrist tendons that puts pressure on nerve and tendons that run to the fingertips. This swelling cuts off blood flow, causing a pain in the hand that can range from “pins and needles” sensations to sharp, shooting pain. Common non-surgical solutions include steroid injections, use of a wrist brace and occupational behavior modifications. If these non-surgical options don’t provide relief, then carpal tunnel surgery can relieve pressure on the nerve causing pain in the hand.

Arthroscopy
Issues with joints, like hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, and wrists, can sometimes be addressed through arthroscopy – a surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat these problems. These procedures offer a minimally invasive way to treat a number of orthopaedic conditions such as...
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Intrathecal pain pump implant: Minimally invasive surgery is performed to place a pump and a tube under the skin. Pain medication is administered through the tube into the space between the spinal cord and the membrane covering the cord.

If you or someone you love is experiencing symptoms from a foot issue or injury, our team of board-certified physicians at Center for Sports Medicine & Orthopaedics can help you find relief. If your doctor determines that foot or ankle surgery is the best route for you, our incredible team offers unrivaled patient care in our top-of-the-line facility.
Bunion Surgery
If you are affected by bunion pain, there are several things that can help alleviate it. More conservative treatment options include shoe inserts, certain medications, and icing the affected area. If your symptoms persist, you might be a good candidate for bunion surgery. Our team at CSMO can help you find the best treatment options for you.
Joint Replacement
Answer: When you have pain in your hip or knee, particularly with activity such as walking, getting in and out of a chair, going up and down stairs, et cetera, which does not respond to medications and keeps you from participating in your normal activities, you may be a candidate for joint replacement.
Hand Surgery
Bunions
Arthroscopy
A variety of shoulder ailments and injuries may lead your orthopaedic surgeon to suggest arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Issues can occur within the ball and socket, the shoulder capsule, the rotator cuff, and the bursa, a lubricating sac between the rotator cuff and bone on the top of the shoulder that helps the tendons glide smoothly when you move your arm. If you have shoulder pain, inflammation, or stiffness from an injury or excessive wear and tear, arthroscopy could lead to pain relief.
Ingrown Toenails
Hip Replacement
In the past, surgeons were hesitant to recommend or perform total hip replacement for younger people because all too often it required or led to a sequence of multiple operations. Today, leading surgery centers like CSMO can confidently offer same-day total hip replacement to reduce pain, increase mobility, and tremendously improve a patient’s quality of life for years or even decades to come. Patients are no longer forced to accept the limitations that accompany arthritic conditions.
Knee Replacement
As the only same-day total knee replacement surgery center in the greater Chattanooga region, CSMO offers expert medical care in our state-of-the-art facility. Our doctors and staff have performed hundreds of successful total knee replacement surgeries, each one with an emphasis on scientific excellence and thoughtful patient care.
Knee Arthroscopy

Corns
Hammertoe and mallet toe are deformities of the foot that can occur due to issues with the ligaments, tendons, and muscles that generally hold the toes in proper place. Hammertoe specifically causes an abnormal bend in the center joint of a toe, and generally occurs in the second, third, or fourth toes on the foot. This issue can be caused by foot structure, certain diseases, trauma to the foot, or even the type of shoes worn, and can cause pain and even the formation of corns and calluses.

Tennis Elbow
Shoulder Pain
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
A sprained ankle occurs when you roll or twist your ankle in an awkward way in a misstep or injury. This scenario can result in stretching or tearing of the ligaments or tough bands of fibrous tissue that serve to hold the bones in the ankle in place. These ligaments help to stabilize joints and keep them from moving excessively. When these ligaments are stretched beyond their regular range of motion, the result is an ankle sprain.
Back Pain
Manual Therapy

Achilles Tendonitis
Tendonitis and Achilles tendon injuries can cause symptoms such as pain down the back of the leg or near the heel, pain that intensifies with activity, pain after exercising, difficulty flexing the affected foot, swelling with pain that worsens with time, and even bone spurs on the heel bone. Though these symptoms can be alleviated with rest, ice, anti-inflammatory drugs, and physical therapy, sometimes the best option is surgery. Our foot specialists can help you assess your situation – and find the best path forward.
Ankle Sprain
Symptoms of this type of injury include pain in the ankle particularly when bearing weight, tenderness to touch, swelling, bruising, instability of the ankle, and a limited range of motion. Sometimes rest and staying off the ankle is enough for it to heal, but if symptoms and pain persist, you’ll need to see a foot specialist. Sprained ankle treatment will depend on the severity of the injury.
Bunions Problems
A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe when some of the bones in the foot shift out of their proper place. This condition causes the big toe to pull toward the smaller toes, creating a protrusion of the affected joint. The skin over the bunion can also get red, irritated, and sore, and tight shoes can cause even more pain and issues. Bunions can cause continuous pain or pain that comes and goes and can also cause issues with mobility.
Calluses
Hammertoes
When it comes to hammertoe correction and treatment, certain shoe inserts or pads can help reposition the toe and relieve pressure and pain. Your foot doctor may also suggest exercises that can help strengthen and stretch the muscles of the toe. If these more conservative treatment options prove ineffective, your doctor might suggest surgery to address the problem.
Heel Pain
Ingrown Toenails
Metatarsalgia
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of pain in the heel. This particular ailment is caused by the inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot connecting the heel bone to the bones in the toes. Plantar fasciitis pain and symptoms are generally at their worst when sufferers first get up in the morning and take their first steps of the day. The condition often causes an intense, stabbing pain in the bottom of the foot in the heel area. Symptoms can arise when a person stands after sitting and can also be triggered by long periods of standing.
