                      Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Brittney Lambie provides expert, compassionate care for a range of conditions common in older adults, with a focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function. Common areas of focus include:

                      • Ganglion Cyst: A ganglion cyst is a harmless, fluid-filled bump that often appears near a joint, and while it can be unsightly or cause discomfort, treatment options are available to alleviate symptoms and improve comfort.
                      • Thoracic Stenosis: Thoracic stenosis involves compression of the spinal cord in the chest area, often causing symptoms such as back pain, leg weakness, or balance issues; thankfully, various treatments like medication and surgery can offer relief.
                      • Hip Tendinitis: Hip tendinitis is an inflammation of the tendons around your hip joint, causing pain and stiffness that can make everyday activities challenging, but with proper care, including physical therapy and medication, you can manage the pain and regain mobility.
                      • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Experiencing numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand and wrist? Carpal tunnel syndrome might be the cause, a condition where a nerve is compressed, often treatable with non-surgical methods to regain hand dexterity and independence.
                      • Osteoarthritis of Foot: Foot osteoarthritis means the cushions between your foot bones are deteriorating, resulting in pain, swelling, and difficulty walking; however, various treatments can ease your discomfort and improve your daily life.
                      • Osteoarthritis of Shoulder: Osteoarthritis of the shoulder is a type of arthritis causing cartilage breakdown in the shoulder joint, leading to pain and stiffness that can be managed with physical therapy, medication, and in some cases, surgery to improve your mobility and daily activities.
                      • Thoracic Disc Disorders: Thoracic disc problems can affect your ability to perform daily activities, but with proper management and treatment, you can often regain comfort and significantly improve your quality of life.
                      • Piriformis Syndrome: If you have persistent buttock pain that might radiate down your leg, it could be piriformis syndrome. Fortunately, many people find relief through physical therapy, allowing them to enjoy more comfortable movement.
                      • Hip Sprain: A hip sprain involves injury to the ligaments in your hip, potentially limiting movement and causing discomfort. Following your doctor's recommendations for rest, physical therapy and pain management can alleviate symptoms and enhance your daily life.
                      • Lumbar Spina Bifida: While often diagnosed at birth, lumbar spina bifida can lead to back problems later in life, potentially requiring surgical correction or conservative management to alleviate discomfort and enhance daily function.
                      • Thoracic Spine Fracture: A break in the bones of your mid-back (thoracic spine) can cause significant pain and limit movement, but with proper medical care, such as bracing or surgery, you can regain comfort and independence.
                      • Broken Neck: A neck fracture is a serious injury, but modern medical treatments—including surgery and tailored rehabilitation plans—are designed to promote healing and recovery, helping you regain your independence and enjoy life to the fullest.

                      This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional based on your specific health history.

                      • Neuroplasty: Neuroplasty helps manage nerve-related pain that may be affecting your mobility and daily activities, leading to a more independent lifestyle.
                      • Lumbar Disc Replacement: If conservative treatments haven't helped your lower back pain stemming from a damaged lumbar disc, lumbar disc replacement could be an effective surgical option to improve your comfort and mobility.
                      • Kyphoplasty: This procedure involves inflating a small balloon inside a fractured vertebra to restore its height and then filling the space with bone cement, which provides support and stability, easing pain.
                      • Open Hip Fracture Treatment: Open hip fracture treatment is a surgical procedure to repair a broken hip bone, restoring mobility and reducing pain for seniors.
                      • Complex Spine Surgery: This advanced surgical approach aims to alleviate severe spinal problems in seniors, improving neurological function and overall well-being.

                      • Hip Dislocation: A hip dislocation occurs when the head of the thigh bone pops out of the hip socket, a painful condition requiring prompt medical attention to restore proper joint alignment and prevent long-term damage.
                      • Knee Replacement Revision: If your previous knee replacement isn't working as well as it should, a revision surgery can help improve its function and longevity, supporting your active lifestyle.
                      • Hip Replacement with Robotic Assist: Robotic-assisted hip replacement surgery offers a precise and minimally invasive approach to repairing severely damaged hips, significantly improving mobility and reducing post-operative pain for seniors.

                      • Disc Replacement: For seniors experiencing debilitating back pain from a herniated disc, disc replacement offers a surgical option to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves.

                      Here are answers to some common questions about Orthopedic care with Dr. Brittney Lambie:

                      What is an Orthopedic Surgeon?
                      Dr. Lambie and her team are orthopedic surgeons, meaning they are medical doctors who specialize in the entire musculoskeletal system—bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. They diagnose and treat conditions affecting this system, offering both surgical and non-surgical options to relieve pain and restore function for seniors.
                      Does seeing an orthopedic surgeon automatically mean I need surgery?
                      Absolutely not. Dr. Lambie's practice focuses on finding the best treatment plan for each individual, often starting with conservative options like physical therapy, injections, or bracing. Surgery is only considered when it's the most effective way to restore quality of life.
                      What can be done for the numbness and tingling in my hand?
                      Numbness and tingling in your hand are classic symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Initial treatment often involves a wrist brace or steroid injection. If symptoms don't improve, Dr. Lambie can perform a simple outpatient surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerve and provide lasting relief.
                      What is the recovery like after a knee or hip replacement?
                      Recovery after a knee or hip replacement is a process, starting with a hospital stay and followed by extensive physical therapy. Modern techniques often allow patients to walk the same day as surgery. The goal is to regain strength and motion, and most patients experience significant pain relief and return to daily activities within a few months.
                      What can be done for my painful knee or hip arthritis?
                      We understand the pain you're experiencing. Treatment for arthritis is a stepwise approach, often starting with conservative measures like medication, physical therapy, and injections. If pain persists and limits daily activities, Dr. Lambie may discuss joint replacement surgery as a highly effective option.
                      How is a broken hip (hip fracture) treated in seniors?
                      A hip fracture in an older adult is a serious injury that almost always requires surgery to stabilize the bone. The type of surgery depends on the specific fracture pattern, but the primary goal is to relieve pain and get the patient moving again as safely and quickly as possible, often with the help of physical therapists.
                      What is a rotator cuff tear?
                      A rotator cuff tear is a problem with the group of four tendons that stabilize your shoulder joint. Tears can result from an injury or gradual wear and tear, causing pain and weakness. Many tears can be treated with physical therapy and injections, but for larger tears, Dr. Lambie can perform arthroscopic surgery to repair the tendon.
                      What is joint replacement surgery?
                      Joint replacement surgery, performed by Dr. Lambie, is a procedure to replace a damaged or arthritic joint with an artificial implant. The goal is to relieve the severe bone-on-bone pain of arthritis, dramatically improving mobility, reducing pain, and restoring independence for activities like walking and climbing stairs. It's a very successful procedure for seniors.
