General Orthopedics in Boynton Beach

What we treat

Common reasons people come to us for general orthopedic care include:

• Arthritis of the knee, hip, shoulder and hands
• Tendonitis and bursitis, such as hip bursitis or tennis elbow
• Sprains, strains and fractures, including falls at home
• Stiff or painful shoulders, including frozen shoulder
• Bone health concerns, including osteoporosis and fragility fractures

Dr. Press treats the shoulder, hip and knee in adults and teens and cares for fractures. Dr. Adelman, who is dual board-certified in family medicine and sports medicine, focuses on non-operative care, arthritis management and ultrasound-guided injections. Dr. Matthew Wolfson and Dr. Jennifer Tucker also treat fractures and tendon problems in their areas.

How care works here

Your visit starts with a conversation about your symptoms and goals and a focused exam. X-ray, MRI and diagnostic ultrasound are available on site, so imaging can often happen the same day. Your physician will explain what is going on and recommend a plan that starts with the least invasive option likely to help.

Non-surgical options include activity guidance, bracing, physical therapy, cortisone and hyaluronic acid injections, and in some cases shockwave or MLS laser therapy. When surgery is the better choice, you are referred within the practice to the surgeon who focuses on that joint.

Programs for long-term joint health

Some orthopedic problems are ongoing rather than one-time. For patients with osteoarthritis, our Medicare-covered Care Management program includes a monthly phone check-in with a physician assistant or nurse practitioner, who updates your care plan and reports to your physician without extra office visits. Our fall prevention program and fall-risk assessment help identify balance and strength issues before they lead to an injury.

Why one team under one roof matters

Joint pain is not always what it seems. Hip pain can come from the spine, and a sore shoulder can be a rotator cuff tear or stiffness. With orthopedic surgeons, a physiatrist, a sports medicine physician, imaging and physical therapy in one office, your care can shift to the right person without starting over, and your therapists see the same chart your physician does.
