At Appalachian Orthopedics, we are dedicated to providing not only exceptional patient care but also comprehensive patient education. As part of that dedication, this section of our website contains information on a wide array of orthopedic topics, including injuries, conditions, treatments, and surgical procedures.

As each patient and situation is unique, the following videos are meant to provide a general, educational overview and are not to replace one-on-one communications with your doctor. Please note the treatments and procedures found here are just some of the treatment options used by our orthopedic experts.

If you have questions regarding an orthopedic injury or condition, please schedule a consultation with one of our specialists by scheduling an appointment online or calling one of our five locations: AbingdonBristol Regional Medical Center, Elizabethton, or Johnson City.
