Whether you are a patient wanting to schedule an appointment with one of our orthopaedic surgeons or our therapy services, we will do our very best to accommodate your needs. Just call our central scheduling at (614) 461-8174 or contact us directly at one of our three main locations
    State-of-the-art Technology:
Our team of experts uses advanced equipment and technologies to provide information that allows them to continually monitor our patients' progress and to modify their rehabilitation program to best suit each individual.
    We're Athletes Too:
Many of our staff are former athletes and continue to be active and competitive today. We know what it's like to compete at the highest level, and we're committed to providing the very best sports and orthopaedic rehabilitation with a goal of getting our patients back to their competitive best.
Physical Therapy for Hip & Knee Replacement and Revisions:
SMGOA Physical Therapy provides a comprehensive post-surgical regiment for patients recovering from total hip or knee surgery or from a hip or knee revision surgery.
Total joint replacement can minimize or alleviate a patient's pain and restore function to their joints. This is a wonderful, life enhancing procedure, but recovery time is frequently dependent on a patients' compliance to physical therapy.
Our physical therapy program for joint replacement guides each patient through the various stages of recovery. From use of mobility aids, like walkers and canes, to increasing flexibility and strength, our staff is right beside our patients every step of the way.
Top
Occupational Therapy Program:
Our Occupational Therapists work very closely with Dr. Gary Millard, our hand surgeon. They work together to develop treatment plans and programs designed help each individual recover quicker from their injuries or from a surgical procedure.
Top
Functional Capacity Evaluations:
SportsMedicine GRANT & Orthopaedic Associates offers a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) as a tool to measure and assess the functional work capacity of an injured worker.
The FCE is a physical motion and movement test that lasts about 90 minutes. During this time, the injured worker will complete several repetitive motions and movements. These motions and movements will require them to lift, push and pull various weights and objects, all while being measured for strength and endurance. The patients also have their subjective pain level monitored and accessed during the testing procedures.
A FCE provides our physicians with valuable information, allowing them to safely release a worker back to his or her work at a safe intensity level. The test can also provide information to help identify those individuals who are not giving a full effort during the test.
