They also treat patients for sports injuries, back pain, ruptured discs, spinal stenosis, bone tumors, carpal tunnel, hand arthritis and hand injuries, club foot, bow legs, hip dysplasia, orthopaedic trauma, limb lengthening, achilles tendon injuries, bunions, foot and ankle injuries, osteoporosis, and arthritis.
