    Hip and Knee Pain
    We treat hip and knee problems of all kinds. We also help patients manage hip and knee pain and move more easily.Causes of Hip and Knee PainBesides being the largest joints in our bodies, our hips and knees are some of the hardest working. After all, they must bear our weight, yet be flexible enough for activities like walking, squatting, and kneeling. Fortunately, our hips and knees are so well-designed for that kind of movement that activity helps keep them healthy.However, there are things that can happen to our hips and knees that can cause pain and make movement difficult. The cartilage "cushion" in the hip or knee can also wear away as we age, causing pain and stiffness. This condition is known as osteoarthritis, and knee osteoarthritis alone affects up to one in five Americans over 45. Other conditions we treat include:Abductor tendon tears.Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.Cartilage injury.Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).Fractures and dislocations.Labral tears.Medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries.Meniscus tears.Overuse injuries.Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries.Sprains and strains.Synovitis.Trochanteric bursitis.Luminis Health Orthopedics treats all these hip and knee conditions and more. We'll work jointly with you to lessen our pain and improve movement in your hip or knee.

    Breast Cancer Biopsy
    Breast BiopsyIf we find something concerning (such as a lump or nipple discharge) during your breast exam or mammogram, we may recommend a breast biopsy.  What Is a Breast Biopsy?A breast biopsy is a procedure where we take a small sample of tissue from the breast and look at the cells under a microscope. The biopsy helps us figure out if cancer cells are present. Most biopsies do not find cancer.You may be awake or asleep during your biopsy, depending on what kind of biopsy your doctor recommends. For some biopsies, we'll extract the tissue with a needle. For others, a surgeon may make an incision to remove all or part of a lump.Recovery time from the biopsy depends on the kind of anesthesia we use. If we put you to sleep with general anesthesia, we'll take you to a room and discharge you from there, usually the same day. If you have local anesthesia, you'll be free to go as soon as your provider okays it.Sore or tender breasts are common after the biopsy. You should hold off on any strenuous exercise for a few days. Over-the-counter pain medication (as recommended by your doctor) and a supportive bra can help.
