Exploring non-surgical solutions first.
Dr. Bannon will never pressure you into surgery. In fact,
he explores all nonsurgical solutions first, because surgery is
not always the only option. But if surgery is needed, you can
trust youre in the hands of an experienced, qualified orthopaedic
surgeon.
Advanced arthroscopic surgery for knees.
When youve torn ligaments or tendons in your knee,
trust Dr. Bannon to provide an advanced solution that will help
you get back to your everyday lifestyle. Through this procedure,
your condition can be remedied in less time and with less discomfort
than traditional surgery. Its done on an outpatient basis,
and only small incisions and a short-acting anaesthetic are needed.
Using DXA scans to accurately detect osteoporosis.
Dr. Bannon uses an enhanced form of X-ray technology called
dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). DXA bone densitometry
is todays established standard for measuring bone mineral
density. DXA is a quick, painless procedure for measuring bone
loss. If your bone density is found to be low, Dr. Bannon will
work with you to develop a treatment plan to increase your bone
density to help prevent future fractures.
Arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis and a good
diagnosis.
If you are over 40, theres a good chance you already
have some degree of pain or stiffness in your body. It could be
from arthritis, tendonitis or bursitis. Dr. Bannon can give you
the correct diagnosis, help reduce your pain or stiffness, then
help strengthen your muscles and joints to get you moving again
at home, at work and anywhere else you want to be.
