From knee pain to trailblazer: Chris’ epic comeback

When knee pain slows you down, it’s more than just discomfort — it’s losing the freedom to move, explore and do what makes you feel alive. Chris felt that loss. The trails he loved seemed out of reach — until he turned to Matthew Maddox, DO, for expert care. With double knee surgery and a focused recovery plan, Chris reclaimed his strength and got back to chasing the adventures that matter most.

 

 

What is a musculoskeletal injury?


Musculoskeletal injuries are caused by sudden or sustained exposure to repetitive motion, force, vibration, and awkward positions. These injuries may impact your body’s movement or musculoskeletal system. If you’re active, you may experience issues in your ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, or hands.

 

Areas of focus

Our experts provide various treatment options for a wide range of issues, many of them minimally invasive. Learn more about the many ways our team can care for you and your injury.

Fracture care

Fractures, breaks and cracks. They mean the same thing: a bone has become damaged impacting the structure. Our experts treat fractures of all patterns, causes and body parts. If a fracture is mild, you might only need a splint or cast, but if the break is severe, you may need to have your bones realigned through surgery. The type of procedure will depend on your specific condition and the location of the fracture.
