Common Conditions We Treat

From sports-related injuries to chronic joint pain, we care for a wide range of orthopaedic conditions affecting the shoulder, knee, elbow, and ankle. Using advanced arthroscopic techniques and targeted non-surgical treatments, Dr. Ravalin helps patients of all ages return to their active lives with confidence.

ACL Tears

A torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common knee injury, especially among athletes. Dr. Ravalin performs advanced ACL reconstructions to restore stability and prevent future injury.

Rotator Cuff Injuries

Rotator cuff tears or strains can cause pain, weakness, and loss of motion in the shoulder. Dr. Ravalin offers minimally invasive arthroscopic repairs to restore function and reduce pain.

Meniscus Tears

Meniscus tears can result from sports injuries or wear over time. Dr. Ravalin uses arthroscopy to trim or repair torn cartilage, helping patients regain motion and relieve pain.

Tendon & Ligament Injuries

Sprains, strains, and tears of ligaments or tendons can happen in any joint. Dr. Ravalin specializes in reconstructing and repairing soft tissue injuries across all major joints.

Patella Dislocations

Dislocations of the kneecap can cause long-term instability. Dr. Ravalin provides surgical solutions to realign and stabilize the patella, especially in recurrent cases.

Shoulder Replacements

When joint damage is too severe for arthroscopic repair, shoulder replacement can restore mobility and relieve chronic pain. Dr. Ravalin is one of the few local specialists offering this procedure.

Achilles Tendon Tears

A ruptured Achilles tendon can significantly limit walking and athletic activity. Dr. Ravalin offers surgical repair to reconnect the tendon and restore strength and flexibility.

Throwing Injuries in Athletes

Overuse injuries like UCL tears are common in throwing sports. Dr. Ravalin treats these with targeted repairs or reconstructions, especially in youth and high school athletes.

PRP, Cortisone & Hyaluronic Injections

Non-surgical treatments like PRP, cortisone, and hyaluronic acid injections help reduce inflammation, promote healing, and improve joint function in a variety of conditions.
