- Primary CareA plan that offers a variety of services including physical exams, education, and preventative medicine programs, in exchange for a fixed-monthly premium. An HMO may be an independent company, or it may be sponsored by an employer, insurance company, hospital, union, or government agency. Members either select or are assigned a primary care physician who is responsible for all referrals in providing adequate patient care.
- Emergency CareA fever is defined as a temperature greater than 100.4 F. Fever related to surgical wound infection usually does not present until several days after surgery. If you are experiencing a low-grade fever after surgery, it is most likely related to breathing differently during and after surgery. It is recommended to take deep breaths throughout the day to open the lungs. If you were given a spirometer device after surgery, use it as directed by the facility. If fever is greater than 100.4 F and it has been more than four days since your surgery, then it is appropriate to call the “on call” provider or report directly to the emergency department.
- Diabetic Foot Care
- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeRepetitive strain can often cause chronic wrist pain. The carpal canal is a closed space located within the mid-area of the palm side of the wrist. It is covered by a thick ligament known as the volar carpal ligament. Inside the tunnel-like enclosed space courses the median nerve and the flexor tendons. It is theorized that because this is a closed space, as pressure builds up with repetitive movements, problems occur and pain is an inevitable result. The patient will feel a numbness and tingling in the areas that are supplied by the median nerve, which runs through the thumb, the index and middle fingers, and through half of the fourth finger on the thumb side. The patient may also experience a weak grip and a loss of fine movements.
- MRIThe usual signs and symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and loss of the ability to move and use the joint (called functional ability). However, these signs and symptoms can vary in intensity, depending on the severity of the sprain. Sometimes people feel a pop or tear when the injury happens. You should see a doctor if you have severe pain and cannot put any weight on the injured joint, if the injured area has lumps & bumps (other than general swelling), if you cannot move the joint, and/or if you experience numbness or redness spreading out from the injury. A person with a moderate sprain usually has some difficulty putting weight on the affected joint and experiences some loss of function. An X-ray may be needed to help the doctor determine if a fracture is causing the pain and swelling. Magnetic resonance imaging is occasionally used to help differentiate between a significant partial injury and a complete tear in a ligament.
- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyYou need to bring: X-rays (original films, if possible). The hospital will not mail the films. LPO will keep the films in your file unless instructed to return them. Also bring any diagnostic studies (MRI, CT scans) and your insurance card and referral (if needed).

- Physical TherapyEXERCISE AND PHYSICAL THERAPY Physical therapy and/or home exercise may be suggested by your knee injury specialists. These exercises are designed to slowly strengthen your knee and increase its range of motion. The speediness of your recovery will greatly depend on how dedicated you are to following your physician’s recommendations. Your physician may also suggest that you use a brace and/or crutches until your knee is stronger.
- Tennis Elbow
- Shoulder Pain
- Flatfoot Correction
- Heel Pain
- Ankle SprainSprained ankles are one of the most common injuries in sports. Because the inner ankle is more stable than the outer ankle, the foot is likely to turn inward (ankle inversion) from a fall, tackle, or jump. This stretches or tears ligaments; the result is an ankle sprain. The lateral ligament on the outer ankle is most prone to injury.

- Achilles TendonitisThe strongest and largest tendon, the Achilles tendon connects muscles in the lower leg with the heel bone. Sports that tighten the calf muscles, such as basketball, running and high-jumping can over-stress this tendon and cause a strain (Achilles tendinitis) or a rupture. A direct blow to the foot, ankle, or calf can also cause it.
