Welcome to the second issue of Azalea Orthopedics! I’d like to thank everyone for the positive feedback in response to Azalea’s very first magazine. We enjoy hearing from you. With each issue, we hope to bring reliable, cutting-edge information to patients, referring physicians, and the community. I’m confident the magazine will continue to serve as a valuable resource for the latest in orthopedic trends.
In this issue, we discuss several treatment methods that do not require surgery to alleviate pain, such as physical and occupational therapy and the Bionicare® Knee Device, which delivers pulsed, electrical signals directly to the source of pain. We’ll also shed light on how minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery can improve the lives of those experiencing elbow and shoulder pain. On another note, one of our articles explains how to choose the right shoe and what to do about common foot problems.
The future is bright for orthopedics thanks to new developments and treatment options that are being introduced every day. We hope you enjoy learning about the latest orthopedic trends and share this issue with your friends and loved ones. We pledge to continue our mission to keep our entire focus on the bones, joints, and nerves of the body.
Sincerely,
John F. Walker, MD
President, Azalea Orthopedics
