When Do You Need Orthopedics?

There’s no doubt about it. Living with chronic joint pain is no fun. When it begins to negatively change and limit the way you live your daily life, it’s time to talk with your physician about orthopedic care.

Clifford Novak, MD, and Grinnell Regional Orthopedics will work to find the cause for the pain and then develop a plan of treatment. Dr. Novak is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon at Grinnell Regional Medical Center.

Grinnell Regional Orthopedics specializes in:

• Knee arthroscopy
• Knee replacement
• Shoulder arthroscopy
• Rotator cuff repair
• Carpal tunnel
• Trigger finger release 

There’s a lot of comfort in knowing that if you need treatment for a joint issue, you can turn to a trusted local provider to have it done here, close to home. Not only does GRMC have an outstanding orthopedic surgeon in Dr. Novak, but an exceptional surgical team with state of the art equipment.
