- ArthritisCauses the synovium to become thickened and inflamed. In turn, too much synovial fluid is produced within the joint space, which causes a chronic inflammation that damages the cartilage. This results in cartilage loss, pain, and stiffness. RA affects women about 3 times more often than men, and may affect other organs of the body.
- Emergency CareYou may have heard a popping sound when your injury first occurred. After that, severe pain and severe swelling of the entire knee probably sent you right to your doctor or emergency room. Other symptoms include an inability to move your knee normally, or walk without pain or a feeling of instability.
- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeFranklin Orthopedics and Sports Medicine strives to provide all of our patients the highest quality of care. Our orthopedic surgeons have advanced fellowship training in the diagnosis and treatment of bone and joint disorders. They have extensive experience treating osteoarthritis, ACL and rotator cuff injuries, meniscus tears, and carpal tunnel, as well as performing joint replacement surgeries of the hip, knee and shoulder. We use the latest technology and surgical techniques and have developed a reputation for excellent patient care.
- UltrasoundPROCare Physical Therapy specializes in treating disorders and injuries of the muscles, joints and nervous system, doing this through traditional therapies (hands-on tissue work, therapeutic exercise, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, etc.) and complementary therapies (Pilates, Massage Therapy), which help to promote optimal health and get patients better more quickly.
- MRIIn order to diagnose you properly, your doctor will consider your symptoms, ask you about your activity leading up to the injury, and examine your knee carefully. Because half of all ACL injuries are also accompanied by injuries to the other soft tissue in the knee, your doctor will want to look at the big picture. In addition to examining your knee in specific positions and manipulating its movement, your doctor will likely want you to have X-rays (to check for fractures) or an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).

- Pinched NerveIn order to diagnose you properly, your doctor will consider your symptoms and examine your shoulder and neck to ensure that your pain isn’t caused by a pinched nerve, arthritis, or another condition. You will be asked to perform a few simple movements so that your doctor can measure your range of motion. Your doctor may also require you to have X-rays — to look for contributing bone issues, including spurs, an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) — to look more closely at the soft tissue (muscles and tendons) of the joint, or an ultrasound.
- Joint ReplacementRemember, even if your orthopaedic specialist determines that shoulder joint replacement is a good medical option for you, it is still up to you to make the final decision. The ultimate goal is for you to be as comfortable as possible, and that always means making the best decision for you based on your own individual needs.

- Orthopedic SurgeryI was very impressed with Dr. Saluja. I had another doctor picked out to do the surgery on my hips but [my doctor] suggested Dr. Saluja might be a good choice. He told me that [Dr. Saluja] had done his mother-in-law's surgery and that she had done exceptionally well...I attended classes that the hospital has for orthopedic surgery, and was hopeful my surgery would go as they had explained. My surgery went, not only as well as they had said, but better...I have recommended Dr. Saluja to everyone with whom I discuss surgery. I think he is a fantastic surgeon. I have a number of family and friends who have had surgery, and the ones who had Dr. Saluja agree with me that he is excellent.

- Hip ReplacementGenerally, after hip replacement surgery, you may spend approximately 3 to 5 days in the hospital. Most hip replacement patients begin standing and walking with the help of a walker and a physical therapist the day after surgery.
- Knee ReplacementKnee replacement is a surgical procedure — performed in the U.S. since the 1960s — in which a diseased or damaged joint is replaced with an artificial joint called a prosthesis.Made of metal alloys and high-grade plastics (to better match the function of bone and cartilage, respectively), the prosthesis is designed to move just like a healthy human joint. Over the years, knee replacement techniques and instrumentation have undergone countless improvements. Today, knee replacement is one of the safest and most successful types of major surgery; in about 90% of cases it is complication-free and results in significant pain relief and restoration of mobility.

- Physical TherapyI had fallen down on my right shoulder with my arm extended. I made an appointment with ease to see Dr. Mysore Shivaram. Dr. Shivaram was accurate in the diagnosis of my shoulder: I had over a one inch tear in my rotator cuff and would need surgery. During my time of recovery and prior to getting back to work full time, Dr. Shivaram answered all of my questions and put me at ease. He also referred me to a professional physical therapy clinic called Pro Care. Dr. Shivaram displayed courtesy and professionalism. His staff was also caring and professional. I recommend Dr. Shivaram and am very happy with my outcome.
