Bone Health

Our orthopedics and bone health specialist helps patients assess, treat and monitor bone health issues such as osteoporosis.

MRH also offers a sophisticated DEXA scanner to make bone imaging convenient for the Craig-area community. DEXA stands for dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. It’s a quick, painless x-ray that measures the density of your bones. The denser your bones, the stronger they are. The less dense your bones, the more likely they are to break or begin to crumble as you age. Read more here.

Hand and Elbow Treatments

Upper extremity functioning is necessary for individuals in our community with active lifestyles. Wrist and hand fractures, carpal tunnel syndrome, thumb arthritis, trigger finger and lumps and bumps of the hands and wrists can be treated in Craig. Surgery and non-operative treatments are available.

Joint Replacement Surgery

Knee and hip joint replacements are the most common operations performed by SOSI surgeons. Most joint replacements are caused by previous injuries and surgeries as well as degeneration of a joint over time. The goal is to alleviate any pain the patient is feeling as much as possible.

Shoulder and Elbow

Shoulder injuries can vary from clavicle fractures and shoulder dislocations to rotator cuff and arthritic issues. Non-operative treatments, as well as surgery, are available locally for patients experiencing pain in these areas.

Sports Medicine

The entire MRH sports medicine team works together to ensure the patient has a successful outcome. Physicians serve not only as a doctor, but also as a coach and advisor. If all nonoperative methods are exhausted, surgery may be necessary to get athletes back to their sport of choice. MRH provides surgeries of the hand/wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, total joint replacement, foot/ankle and spine.

World-Class, Specialized Spine Care

Sports with the highest risk of spinal injuries include football, diving, skiing, snowboarding, wrestling, ice hockey, rugby and cheerleading. Access to immediate, comprehensive spine care is essential. SOSI providers offer non-operative and surgical spine care in Moffat County with the goal to help patients return to their previous functional status and to improve their quality of life.

This is the best thing I ever did. Within two months, I was back to my normal routine and pain-free.

Phil S., Orthopedic Patient, Had a Left Hip Replacement

“When I could no longer walk on my foot and it was very painful, I came to talk to Dr. Miranda. Now I feel completely corrected and I can walk on my foot again.”

Peggy S., Orthopedic Patient

It was very helpful to have the overnight support of a caring staff after my surgery. I am grateful to have had friendly and helpful people take care of me right here in Craig.
