Bone & Joint Care at Wellstar

Your favorite activities make everyday life your own, and bone or joint pain can keep you sidelined. At Wellstar, our skilled and caring team is ready to help you find relief and get back to life with less pain and more freedom.

Nearly everything we do each day depends on the complex interaction of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves. If there’s a problem with any one of these, movement can become challenging and pain can keep you from living your best life.

At Wellstar, our orthopedic experts are focused on getting you back to doing the things you love. We treat children and adults, seasoned athletes and weekend warriors, helping with everything from sprains, strains and fractures to joint replacement, repetitive stress disorders and complex nerve and spine conditions.

Our team will carefully evaluate your condition and provide personalized care tailored to your needs, including advanced nonsurgical and surgical therapies to support your healing. From diagnosis and treatment through recovery and rehabilitation, we’ve got you covered.

Our Expertise and Experience Put You in Good Hands

When it comes to orthopedic care, experience matters. Our team of providers includes board-certified surgeons and sports medicine physicians who specialize in specific conditions and treatments. They bring years of knowledge and technical skill to your care and continuously stay up to date with the latest treatment advances.

Working closely with our orthopedic doctors are radiologists, pain management physicians, physical and occupational therapists and rehabilitation specialists. With our team of experts behind you, you’ll have all the support you need for the best possible outcome.

Recognized for Excellence and Results

Wellstar is committed to providing you the highest level of orthopedic care. Our services are nationally accredited, and our excellent patient outcomes have been recognized by leading orthopedic organizations.

Improving Patient Care Through Research

At Wellstar, we don’t just provide exceptional patient care; we continuously strive to do things even better. Through research and clinical trials, we work to increase our understanding of musculoskeletal conditions and to develop and evaluate innovative treatments that improve outcomes and enhance quality of life for orthopedic patients. Our efforts bring the most promising treatment options to today’s patients and hope to tomorrow’s.

A Full Range of Therapies to Return You to Active Living

There are many options for treating musculoskeletal conditions. We base treatment recommendations on your symptoms, physical exam and diagnostic tests, such as imaging studies. Working with you, we develop a treatment plan to help make it possible for you to return to active, pain-free living.

Non-surgical Treatments

Whenever possible, we recommend the most conservative treatments first to help relieve your symptoms. Often, this involves only non-surgical therapies. Treatments we offer include:

  • Activity modification/rest
  • Bracing, splinting and casting
  • Icing
  • Injection therapy
  • Medication, such as anti-inflammatories, pain relievers and muscle relaxants
  • Occupational therapy
  • Orthotics
  • Physical therapy and exercise

Surgical Treatments

In some cases, surgery is the most appropriate first-line treatment. Your doctor may also recommend a surgical procedure if conservative therapies don’t provide adequate relief.

Wellstar offers state-of-the-art technology and advanced orthopedic surgeries, including robotic and minimally invasive procedures. These operations result in less discomfort and allow for a quicker recovery when compared to traditional orthopedic surgery. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities.

Procedures we offer include:

  • Arthroscopy
  • Fusion
  • Internal fixation
  • Joint replacement (total, partial and revision)
  • Microvascular repair and reconstruction
  • Nerve decompression
  • Nerve grafting and transfer
  • Osteotomy
  • Soft tissue repair

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation often plays an important part in recovery from orthopedic conditions and surgery. Our rehab team, which may include physicians, physical and occupational therapists, and others, will work with you to improve your strength, endurance, flexibility and range of motion. The goal is to help you get back to feeling like yourself so you can resume your normal activities as quickly as possible. Your specific rehab program will be tailored to your condition, abilities and goals. Rehabilitation services may be offered on an inpatient or outpatient basis.

Sports Medicine

Our sports medicine team specializes in working with sports-related injuries in athletes of all ages and ability levels. In addition to providing expert diagnosis and treatment, the team offers advice on proper technique and conditioning, body mechanics and overall injury prevention. They also help athletes with sports nutrition and performance enhancement.

Protect Your Bone Health

Early detection of health issues can often help prevent major problems. Screenings offered at Wellstar can help keep your bones healthy and strong.

Osteoporosis Screening

Osteoporosis is a bone-weakening disease that may limit your mobility and increase your likelihood of experiencing serious fractures. Risk increases with age and certain medical conditions, and although anyone can get the disease, it’s most common in post-menopausal women.

You can have osteoporosis without realizing it. However, a simple imaging exam, known as a bone density test, can identify the disease. With treatment and appropriate safety precautions, you can take control of osteoporosis and reduce your chances of breaking a bone.

The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends screening for:

  • Anyone who breaks a bone after age 50
  • Men age 50 to 69 with risk factors
  • Men age 70 or older
  • Post-menopausal women younger than age 65 with risk factors
  • Women age 65 or older
  • Women of menopausal age with risk factors

Talk with your Wellstar doctor to learn if screening may be right for you.

Wellstar Foundation Gala Raises Nearly $1 Million for Behavioral Health Services

The Wellstar Foundation raised more than $900,000 toward combating the behavioral health crisis facing Georgia during its 23rd annual Starlight Grand Gala on April 23 at The St. Regis Atlanta. 

Sponsored by ApolloMD and Bank of America, the black-tie event was emceed by Condace Pressley, Director of Community and Public Affairs at WSB-TV, and included a cameo video from Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson, both of whom were born at Wellstar’s flagship hospital in Marietta, Georgia, Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center.

Atlanta Hawks Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins also energized the sold-out crowd by hopping on stage to add two tickets to the auction for NBA playoff game four between the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks. Wilkins, who partners with Wellstar as a health ambassador, also shared impassioned words on destigmatizing mental health and how it has impacted his own family. 

This message was echoed by Wellstar physician leaders Dr. Ryan Breshears, Chief Behavioral Health Officer, and Dr. Avril Beckford, Chief Pediatric Officer, who have witnessed firsthand the concerning rates of substance use, anxiety, depression and suicide among adults and youth rapidly increase throughout the pandemic. 

Julie Teer, Wellstar Foundation President, said, “The Gala was a monumental step in helping our Wellstar Foundation bolster collaboration among healthcare workers, community providers, and private and public sectors to enhance the well-being of every community we serve; this includes a pivotal philanthropic focus on behavioral health which is needed now more than ever. Caring for one-in-six Georgians, Wellstar is not only uniquely positioned but committed to transforming healthcare for everyone in Georgia through corporate and community partnership.” 

Kim Gresh, Owner and President of S.A. White Oil Company, Inc., was celebrated as Philanthropist of the Year and David Bottoms, President at The Bottoms Group and Chair of the Wellstar Foundation Board of Trustees, was presented with the Exemplary Service Award.

As one of the largest and most integrated not-for-profit health systems in Georgia, Wellstar is the state’s largest safety net health system and was recently ranked among Modern Healthcare’s top 10 providers for charity care in the nation. 100% of Gala proceeds support Wellstar’s commitment to expand behavioral health services across its 11 hospitals and every community it serves.

Georgians Uplift Rural Communities Through Tax Credit Program

Access to care close to home is something many take for granted until that care is no longer available. Georgia’s rural hospitals provide critical care to residents when and where they need it. However, industry shifts and economic challenges have forced many rural hospitals to close their doors, forcing millions of people to commute — some for hours — to receive the care they need. 

Recognizing this strain on rural hospitals and the communities they serve, the Georgia legislature launched the Georgia Rural Hospital Tax Credit program. Through this program, Georgia taxpayers receive a 100% state income tax credit on contributions made to qualifying rural hospitals such as Wellstar Sylvan Grove Hospital. 

100% state tax credit limits: up to $5,000 for an individual filer, up to $10,000 for married and filing jointly, for owners of pass-through organizations up to $10,000 and may qualify for a federal tax deduction as an ordinary and necessary business expense. New through HB 149: C-Corporations or Trusts and Pass-Through Organizations Filing as an Entity- 100% of the amount contributed or 75% of the organizations Georgia income tax liability, whichever is less. Plus, qualify for the federal deduction and no longer be required to claim any business purpose for the payment besides satisfying the entity’s Georgia tax liability.

Dollars making a difference

As in past years, contribution limits will be removed on July 1, 2022. Given recent enhancements and increased interest, the program is anticipated to reach its $60 million cap soon after the contribution limits are removed, making now a pivotal time for Sylvan Grove donors to pre-register for unlimited contributions. By registering your contribution early, you help ensure facilities like Wellstar Sylvan Grove Hospital receive the assistance they need.

Starting May 16, 2022 at 9 a.m., our administrative partner — Georgia HEART— will accept pre-registrations to be loaded on a first-come-first-serve basis once the limits are removed. The Wellstar Foundation is offering to assist Wellstar Sylvan Grove Hospital contributors with this pre-registration process. Contact the Foundation at [email protected] for assistance or click here to pre-register directly with Georgia HEART on May 16, 2022.

Since 2016, Wellstar Sylvan Grove Hospital has received a total of $10 million through this program. As facilitated through the Wellstar Foundation, every dollar has accelerated critical upgrades, including a full renovation of the hospital’s emergency department, radiology department expansion and leading-edge innovation, such as advanced CT scanning technology, that enhances physicians’ abilities to make better-informed medical decisions.

Providing PeopleCare

Advancements in treatments and technology benefit the residents of Butts County — patients like Mary “Lee” Nelson, a retired Butts County teacher who turned to Wellstar Sylvan Grove Hospital’s outpatient rehabilitation center for post-surgical physical therapy. The outpatient center was recently renovated with state-of-the-art equipment made possible through tax credit program contributions.

The former elementary grade teacher spends her retirement days traveling with her husband Bill, tending to her flower gardens and caring for her chickens. With such an active lifestyle, when Lee learned that she needed a knee replacement in 2021, she knew her local hospital would be able to provide the high-quality, compassionate care needed to get her back on her feet safely and quickly. Now, a few months after completing her physical therapy, Lee shares that she “feels normal again” and able to enjoy all the things that once brought her life so much joy.

How you can help

Through corporate and community partnership, the Wellstar Foundation is fueling innovation and action to address the vital needs of diverse communities in Georgia, including urban, suburban and rural communities. Wellstar is committed to delivering world-class healthcare to everyone close to home. Philanthropic support of the Wellstar Foundation is advancing innovation and expanding resources to create a healthier Georgia for all.

Wellstar GME Internal Medicine Clinic Opens in Griffin

As Wellstar continues to invest in providing quality health care in our communities, primary care patients can now receive care at the new Wellstar GME Internal Medicine Clinic – which also serves as a residency clinic for physicians in Training. Located at 747 South 8th Street, Suite B in Griffin, the clinic, along with the Griffin-Spalding Chamber of Commerce, is hosting a ribbon-cutting event on April 26 at 12 pm.

The GME Internal Medicine Clinic is dedicated to delivering high-quality, evidence-based care to people in the community. “We are your partners in providing whole-person care offering prevention strategies to help you achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle,” says Dr. Ashok Kumar Kanugula. “This may include routine checkups, managing chronic diseases, immunizations (influenza, tetanus) and age-appropriate screenings (bone density, blood panels), as well as treatment for acute issues, such as abdominal pain and respiratory infections. We can also provide information about nutrition, exercise and mental health.”

The clinic accepts a range of payment options and has established relationships with a variety of health insurance carriers. And to better serve the community, the clinic delivers services to those in need through Wellstar’s Financial Assistance Program.

In addition to providing care for patients, the clinic serves as a graduate medical education (GME) facility, training resident physicians. Residents will begin training at the clinic in July.
