Whether your sports equipment of choice is a football, golf club or TV remote, Dr. Nitz applies his extensive knowledge to end the pain, heal the injury and get you back in the game. He provides effective treatment using the latest procedures. Although he specializes in injuries that affect knee and shoulder joints, Dr. Nitz has treated numerous conditions that involve every type of joint, bone, tendon, ligament, muscle and nerve. He believes in the importance of making the diagnosis and then recommending appropriate treatment based on the natural history of that diagnosis as well as the patient's symptoms and goals. If a surgical solution is necessary, Dr. Nitz frequently uses arthroscopy, which involves the use of a surgical tool tipped with a tiny camera that is inserted under the skin through a small puncture incision. This outpatient procedure is highly effective, and provides benefits over similar procedures performed with an open exposure of the joint.
