No matter the condition or injury affecting your elbow, or shoulder, the surgeons of the Shoulder & Elbow Institute at TSAOG Orthopaedics & Spine are here to help. Our surgeons are specialists dedicated to restoring function through surgical and non-surgical treatments. Simply put, your health is our mission. For this purpose, our physicians have assembled a Total Care approach to enable the finest outcome for your care. 

San Antonio Shoulder & Elbow Specialists:

As surgical techniques in shoulder & elbow have become more refined and complex, specialized training has become more important to the outcomes of a patient’s recovery. Each of the specialists in the Shoulder & Elbow Institute at TSAOG Orthopaedics & Spine has completed an additional year of fellowship training in shoulder & elbow surgery beyond medical school and five to seven years of residency training.

In addition, TSAOG Orthopaedics & Spine takes a Total Care approach to treatment, which incorporates diagnostic imaging, casting and bracing, a dedicated outpatient orthopaedic surgery center, and certified hand therapists.

Bone Health

Bone Health at TSAOG

Osteoporosis Diagnosis & Treatment

BOOK APPOINTMENT

The Bone Health Program at TSAOG Orthopaedics & Spine was created to identify those patients presenting with fractures that might indicate osteoporosis. We will investigate to determine if osteoporosis is present, and, if needed, start the patient on a course of treatment to manage their osteoporosis to reduce their risk of future fractures. Is it time for your fracture-vention?

Nationally Recognized Expertise in Preventing Fractures

The American Orthopedic Association's Own the Bone® quality improvement program recognizes outstanding institutions for providing bone health care to prevent fractures.

TSAOG Orthopaedics & Spine is honored to continue delivering best-in-class preventive care to the South Texas region.

What is Osteoporosis?

Orthopedic surgeons treat fractures all the time, but did you know that certain fractures can be a sign of a more serious underlying problem? If you are over the age of 50 and experience one of the following types of fractures, you should be screened for osteoporosis:

  • Wrist (Distal Radius) Fracture
  • Spine (Vertebral) Fracture
  • Hip Fracture
  • Shoulder (Proximal Humerus) Fracture

Osteoporosis is a disease of the bone in which you lose too much bone as you age, making your bones more porous than they should be and weakening their underlying structure. The more porous your bones become, the more likely they are to break.

illustration of healthy bone versus osteoporosis bone

Who is at Risk for Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis can affect both men and women, but multiple factors can increase your risk for developing osteoporosis, including:

  • Age – older people are at greater risk.
  • Race – people of Asian or Caucasian descent are at greater risk.
  • Gender – women are at greater risk than men.
  • Hormone Levels – a reduction in testosterone or estrogen can increase your risk for osteoporosis.
  • Eating Habits – a diet low in vitamin D and calcium can put you at greater risk.
  • Eating Disorders – bulimia or anorexia can increase your risk.
  • Lifestyle – people with a sedentary lifestyle are at greater risk.
  • Family History – a family history of osteoporosis or hip fractures can increase your risk
  • Smoking – recent studies have shown a relationship between smoking and reduced bone density.
  • Frame Size – a smaller frame size can increase your risk.
  • Medical Conditions – certain conditions (including Type 1 Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease) can increase your risk for developing osteoporosis.

Unchecked, these individuals are at significantly increased risk for additional bone loss and future fractures. That’s why TSAOG Orthopaedics & Spine created the Bone Health Program.

Fracture Follow-Up

If you are over the age of 50 and are treated for a fracture known to be indicative of osteoporosis, your physician may refer you for a Bone Health consultation. During your bone health consultation a provider will work with you to:

  • Educate you on osteoporosis and why you are considered at risk.
  • Evaluate your specific case with a detailed history, physical, and referral for any additional testing necessary.
  • Establish a treatment plan, which might include lifestyle changes and medication to prevent further bone loss or even rebuild bone.

OrthoConnect Telemedicine

OrthoConnect
Telemedicine

BOOK APPOINTMENT

Visit with your doctor and get the answers you need from the safety of your own home!

All non-urgent orthopedic concerns are now eligible to be scheduled for OthoConnect telemedicine consultations at TSAOG Orthopaedics & Spine.

More information coming soon.

What is OrthoConnect Telemedicine?

Telemedicine is the process of using HIPAA compliant video applications to conduct appointments between patients and healthcare providers.

At TSAOG, we call our telemedicine service OrthoConnect because it connects you with your orthopedic physician and allows you to get the care you need, when you need it, from anywhere.

Why Telemedicine?

The benefits of telemedicine include safety and increased access to care for patients. At TSAOG Orthopaedics, the health and safety of our patients, our providers, and TSAOG is always our top priority. As we work to address the threat of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), we want to provide options for our patients to get the care that they need in a safe and timely way to that respects social distancing guidelines.

Telemedicine consultations are the best way to do that for patients with non-urgent orthopedic concerns.

Who Can be Seen Via OrthConnect?

All non-urgent orthopedic concerns are now eligible to be scheduled for telemedicine consultations.

OthoConnect consultations might include:

  • Discussing your new or existing musculoskeletal concerns with your provider
  • Checking your range of motion
  • Ordering any imaging or labs you might require
  • Reviewing the results of your previously ordered tests or scans
  • Monitoring your medications
  • Post-operative check ups

How Much Does it Cost?

Telemedicine consultations are billed to your insurance the same way that a visit to your doctor’s office would be, so your financial responsibility will vary based upon your individual insurance coverage. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many commercial insurers have agreed to waive patient cost sharing for these appointments, but we encourage you to verify your plan’s individual coverage for telemedicine prior to your appointment.

If you are uninsured and paying our of pocket for your telemedicine consultation, your cost would be $75 for a new patient or $50 for an established/follow up patient visit.

How Do I Schedule an OrthoConnect Appointment?

To schedule an OrthoConnect telemedicine consultation, please call us at 210-281-9595.

What Happens After I Schedule My Appointment?

After your appointment is scheduled, someone from your provider’s team will call you to prepare you for your appointment. The team member will ask you what kind of device you have available for the appointment (smartphone, tablet, laptop/desktop computer) so they can determine the best way to connect with you.

You will then receive an email inviting you to join your telemedicine visit and, when instructed, you will click the link to connect with your doctor. 

To make the most of your OrthoConnect visit, please:

  • Allow access to the camera and microphone on your device.
  • Select an area with a strong and reliable internet connection, either through WiFi or a data cable connection.
  • Choose a private location with good lighting and minimal distractions.

Industrial
Rehabilitation Program

BOOK APPOINTMENT
WorkSmart at TSAOG

TSAOG’s WorkSmart Industrial Rehabilitation Program focuses on the physical and behavioral rehabilitation of injured workers. Our goal is to return employees to the workplace in a safe and rapid manner using job-specific rehabilitation techniques.

Question about our program? Call 210-396-5256

Who We Are:

Our Industrial Rehabilitation Center team is composed of licensed professionals providing high quality physical and behavioral care in an industrial rehabilitation setting. We strive to improve the work ethic of injured employees and return them to a healthy and employable condition so they may successfully rejoin the workforce. 

What We Do:

  • Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) – An FCE is a comprehensive screening method used to determine an employee’s mobility, strength, endurance, and ability to perform work related activities. These evaluations are conducted over 3 to 5 hours and gauge an employee’s readiness to return to work.
  • Work Hardening – When an employee has been out of work for several months due to a work-related injury, illness, or surgery, there can be a loss of physical stamina. This program therefore utilizes individually designed strength training, aerbic endurance, mobility exercises and work task simulations to re-condition the patient. A typical session is a 2-3 hours, two to three times per week spanning up to 5 weeks.
  • Work Conditioning – Just as with work conditioning, this program includes physical conditioning for strength, endurance, and mobility. It also has an emphasis on simulating specific job functions to help reintroduce the employee into the work environment. Work Hardening includes both a physical and psychosocial component, where a licensed Professional Counselor is available to assist with any personal or stress factors which are being experienced by the injured worker. It is indicated for individuals who have a greater gap between their current ability and their job’s requirement. Typical duration is 3 – 4 hours/session, three to five visits per week spanning up to 7 weeks.
  • Functional Job Descriptions (FJD) – This service drastically improves the accuracy and validity of an Employer’s Position Descriptions. A licensed staff member will visit the worksite to make an inventory of processes/duties of each specific job desired which will also include taking measurements of weights, forces, heights, distances. This data can be used to better determine whether an applicant is able to perform the job and/or able to return after an extended absence from illness or injury.
  • Post-Offer Employment Testing (POET)/Fit For Duty (FFD) – During the hiring process, applicants often undergo criminal background checks and drug screening. For jobs which require heavy lifting, material handling, endurance, and mobility, it is also advantageous to include physical testing to ensure the applicant has no issues in performing the rigor of these positions. Similar reasoning applies for an employee who has been absent for an extended period because of injury, illness, or surgery to ensure their safe return to work. A validated Functional Job Description is required for POET or FFD design unless the employer has current performance requirements elucidated. POETs and FFDs do not require Physician Referral, although if the applicant/employee/evaluator has concern, medical clearance may be required.

Do I Need Industrial Rehabilitation?

If you have suffered a work-related injury and have not been able to return to work following traditional physical therapy, your doctor may recommend industrial rehabilitation to facilitate your recovery. This type of program is a unique form of therapy referred to as either work hardening or work conditioning.

Being off work for an extended period of time often results in deconditioning, which basically means that your body has adjusted to reduced physical activity during your recovery and now is having a hard time readjusting to the physical demands of your job. Activities to which you were accustomed before your injury may now be difficult to perform. Working for an entire day may seem impossible. You may still be experiencing some pain and feel uncertain about what activities you can safely perform. You may either be unable to return to your former employment or be required to return to a level of activity that is less strenuous than that of your previous employment requirements. Deconditioning is often not effectively treated using traditional physical therapy and this is where job-specific rehabilitation techniques can help.

BOOK APPOINTMENT

Chiropractic care is a unique approach to the application of both orthopedics and neurology. Chiropractic Care Institute at TSAOG Orthopaedics & Spine offers chiropractic care to help restore the function of your back and spine through non-surgical treatment. Our chiropractor works directly with our orthopaedic specialists in order to provide the most comprehensive spinal care possible. Simply put, your health is our mission.

Why Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractors are medical professionals who diagnose and treat disorders of the skeletal and neurological systems – specializing in non-invasive (non-surgical) pain management and restoration of skeletal function by utilizing manual medicine and chiropractic technique.  They pay special attention to the physiologic and biochemical aspects of the body including structural, spinal, musculoskeletal, neurological, vascular and nutritional relationships.

Chiropractic Care:

  • Offers a safe, non-surgical, drug-free treatment option that is effective for many types of spinal injuries/conditions for people of all ages.
  • Seeks to identify the underlying cause of a spinal condition, correct the problem and maintain long term spinal health.
  • Works in concert with physical medicine & rehabilitation as well as orthopaedic specialists to provide comprehensive spinal care options for all patients.

If you are suffering from persistent neck pain or back pain, it may be time to consider chiropractic care.

Common Treatments

Spinal Manipulation

Spinal Manipulation is an extensively studied and commonly utilized highly-specific controlled movement of spinal vertebrae (bones) joints that may be impacting normal musculoskeletal biomechanics and function, leading to pain syndromes and reduced functional abilities.  The manipulative procedure helps to restore the normal relationships to reduce pain and improve daily spinal function.

Flexion-Distraction

Flexion-Distraction, also referred to as “spinal decompression”, is a non-surgical treatment option for herniated or bulging discs.  The technique is extensively researched and is a highly-skilled procedure.  It features the use of a specialized, precision-engineered treatment table that allows for gentle movements to the spine to relieve pressure of damaged discs, thereby relieving pain, improving disc dynamics and restoring functional status to the patient.
