Physical Therapy
Our licensed physical therapists develop personalized rehabilitation plans using the latest techniques and equipment. We specialize in post-surgical recovery, chronic condition management, and sports injury rehabilitation. Our state-of-the-art facilities in Lexington and surrounding areas offer services like blood flow restriction therapy, dry needling, and sportsmetrics programs to enhance athletic performance while preventing injuries.
EMG/NCV Testing
Our board-certified specialists perform electromyography and nerve conduction velocity tests to diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and neuropathies. With decades of experience, our technicians use advanced equipment to analyze nerve and muscle function, providing accurate diagnoses for complex nerve disorders through both surface electrode and needle electrode methodologies.
MRI Imaging
We offer high-resolution MRI scanning with specialized protocols for musculoskeletal conditions. Our technology provides detailed imaging of joints, spine, and soft tissues without radiation exposure. The service includes same-day interpretation by experienced radiologists and immediate integration with treatment planning for conditions ranging from sports injuries to degenerative joint disease.

Our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive procedures including arthroscopic surgery and total joint replacements. Using advanced techniques, we focus on reducing recovery times while maintaining optimal outcomes for conditions affecting knees, hips, shoulders, and other joints. The service includes comprehensive pre-operative counseling and post-operative rehabilitation coordination.

We provide HIPAA-compliant virtual consultations for injury assessment, post-operative follow-ups, and treatment planning.

Second visit with Becky Sullivan PA-C and had a wonderful experience. Becky was very friendly, knowledgeable and caring. She was just as excited as I was with my progress. She took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all my questions. Would recommend her to anyone. Can not say enough about how fabulous this visit was.

The office was very coordinated so it made the difficult process easier. I could focus on my health and get through surgery with great support. Matt was friendly and efficient. He listened and answered my questions. I felt in good hands. Dr Christianson did previous surgery on my husband so I had great confidence in his abilities. He is compassionate and skilled. My surgery was a complete success. Thank you all.

Dr Donegan is the best of the best. He is very personable, easy to talk to and takes his time with you. He explains things well, will answer your questions and he is an extremely talented and meticulous surgeon. I couldn't be more pleased with with the care he has and continues to provide me and the outstanding job he did with my Dad when he needed emergency surgery.

Really, REALLY disappointed in the service provided by this place. They reschedule appointments and don't let anyone know. Many people drive long distance to get here for appointments, only to find it was moved without notification. Sandy, an employee, is very defensive about this and it is NOT OK. No accountability.

From the moment I entered, I was impressed with the speed and efficiency. I was back in an exam room in no time and was always made aware of what to expect. Emily was very thorough and informative and helped me understand the condition of my knees and my options going forward. I have never had a better "stick" than when she injected my knees! I look forward to having less painful, better functioning knees.
