ORTHOPEDIC CARE FOR MUSCLE, BONE, AND JOINT ISSUES
Care for Everyday Issues
From overuse injuries and workplace strain to accidental fractures and arthritis, orthopedic problems can happen at any age and often develop gradually before they become disruptive.
Dr. Collin Haben sees patients with shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, bursitis, knee swelling, wrist injuries, and more. Some arrive after a sudden fall or sports injury, others seek help for discomfort that’s been getting worse for months. Whatever brings you in, Dr. Haben begins with a careful evaluation (usually including a physical exam and imaging) to identify the source of the problem. The focus is always on understanding the root cause so treatment can be as targeted and effective as possible.
Treatment options may include bracing, physical therapy, medications, corticosteroid injections, or surgical care when necessary. In many cases, non-surgical management can reduce symptoms and improve function. If surgery is needed, Dr. Haben will walk you through every step and help determine the best next steps based on your condition and lifestyle.
For many people, orthopedic care is the first step toward lasting relief and better function. You don’t have to live with pain or guess at your next move—Dr. Haben is here to help.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a fracture treated?
Fracture treatment depends on the type of fracture and the area affected. Minor fractures may heal with rest, splinting, or casting, while more complex or displaced fractures could require realignment or even surgical fixation with pins, plates, or screws.
What kinds of sports injuries does Dr. Haben treat?
Dr. Haben treats a wide range of sports-related injuries, from acute tears to overuse issues. Common conditions include:
- ACL and meniscus tears
- Achilles tendon ruptures
- Quad and patellar tendon injuries
- Shoulder dislocations and labral tears
- Ankle sprains and ligament injuries
Treatment may involve bracing, physical therapy, or surgery, depending on the injury and your activity level. Whether you're recovering from a game-day injury or dealing with a chronic issue, Dr. Haben offers expert care to help you return to activity safely and confidently.
When should I see a doctor for shoulder pain treatment?
If shoulder pain lasts more than a few days, restricts your motion, or affects sleep, it's a good idea to seek medical advice. Shoulder pain treatment may include anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, cortisone injections, or surgical repair, when needed.
Common causes include rotator cuff issues, bursitis, tendonitis, or arthritis. Dr. Haben can help determine the underlying cause of your discomfort and recommend a treatment plan that gets you moving comfortably again.
What are the signs I might need carpal tunnel surgery?
Carpal tunnel surgery may be needed if symptoms like hand numbness, tingling, or weakness persist despite rest, bracing, or therapy. Surgery is considered when carpal tunnel syndrome significantly interferes with hand function or sleep. It involves relieving pressure on the median nerve in your wrist and is typically a short, outpatient procedure.
Is Dr. Haben fellowship-trained?
Yes! Dr. Haben completed fellowship training in hip and knee replacement, which means he has advanced, specialized experience beyond standard orthopedic residency. This allows him to offer more precise, personalized surgical care.
