The physicians at Central Nebraska Orthopedics & Sports Medicine are using some of the world's most advanced orthopedic surgical procedures to help patients right here at home. The use of specific surgical procedures depends upon the patient's situation. The fact remains, however, that the availability of these advanced techniques gives you and our physicians more options in addressing your orthopedic health. This information is used by our office for an appointment, billing, and insurance purposes and by your doctor for diagnosis and evaluation purposes.

You are responsible for payment of charges for medical services provided by the clinic. Clinic personnel will gladly submit insurance claims to all major insurance carriers on your behalf. Reimbursement from the insurance carrier will be sent to the clinic, and you will be responsible only for deductibles and co-payments not paid by insurance.

Our team provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for ailments of the hand and wrist, ranging from aching joints, numbness, to deformity and dysfunction. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is very common and is caused by compression on the median nerve in the wrist. The excessive compression causes symptoms such as numbness in the hand and fingers, often waking the patient at night.

Our team provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for all ailments of the shoulder. Arthritis involves the wearing down of the cartilage (smooth bearing surface) of a joint. This may be a result of an old injury, an inflammatory condition, or simple wear and tear. In the shoulder, this is sometimes caused by a longstanding dysfunction from a chronically torn rotator cuff tendon.
