The elbow joint allows for flexion and extension of your forearm relative to your upper arm and the rotation of your forearm and wrist. As such, it is vital to performing everyday tasks such as lifting, carrying, driving and writing, as well as most sports activities. It is a joint that is prone to dislocation. OMNI specialists are skilled in treating injuries to this important joint to get you back in the game and functioning normally.
The neck is capable of significant movement, in addition to supporting the weight of the head. Unlike the rest of the spine, which is relatively protected from injury, the cervical spine has a relatively small number of muscles and ligaments that surround and protect it from injury. OMNI specialists are skilled in diagnosing and treating the most common causes of neck pain, including degenerative diseases or soft tissue abnormalities following injury.
Although the shoulder is the most moveable joint in the body, it is unstable because the ball (the humerus) is larger than the socket (the glenoid) that holds it. To provide relief from shoulder pain caused by injury or inflammation, OMNI physicians can use conservative methods such as medications and physical therapy or arthroplasty surgery, if required. Shoulder replacement removes the damaged or diseased joint and replaces it with an artificial shoulder implant (prosthesis) that is designed to move like a normal, healthy joint.
Your spine is at the center of a delicately balanced system that controls all of your body's movements. Bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves all work together to balance the weight of your body. Even minor damage to one component of your back's structure can upset this fragile balance and make movement painful. The OMNI Regional Spine Center treats all diseases and disorders that affect the spine including fractures, infections, deformities, tumors and arthritis.
The knee is the largest joint in the body. One of the most common causes of knee pain and loss of mobility is the wearing away of the joint's cartilage lining. When this happens, the bones rub against each other, causing significant pain and swelling — a condition known as osteoarthritis. OMNI physicians are highlight skilled in minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery as well as complete joint replacement and can help provide relief from your knee pain.
The foot and ankle are two of the most versatile and complex areas of your body. One foot alone contains 26 bones supported by a network of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. When everything is working well, you hardly give them a thought. But when a problem arises, it’s often impossible to ignore.
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint that is one of the main weight-bearing joints in the body. Normal cartilage cushions the bones and allows nearly frictionless and pain-free movement. Hip replacement involves the removal of arthritic bone ends and damaged cartilage and replaces them with prosthetic implants that replicate the hip joint. OMNI surgeons specialize in hip replacement surgery that can help relieve pain and get you back to enjoying normal, everyday activities.
OMNI physicians treat a variety of hand and wrist issues, including the most common -- carpal tunnel syndrome. Compression of the median nerve may cause symptoms that range from tingling in the fingers to pain radiating up the arm. Treatments vary from rest, anti-inflammatory medications and cold packs to a specially designed brace or night split. In some cases, surgery is recommended to restore your mobility.

I just want to share my amazing experience that I encountered at the Dover Office. The staff there is simply amazing. I felt welcome the entire time I was there. The nursing staff along with the office staff conversed with me as if I had been their friend for some time. Dr. Richterman was amazing. I had a great conversation with him; he taught me things about the arm that I had no clue about. He was genuine in asking about my life and discussing my career along with my hand/arm questions. I was simply blown away by my experience at the office. I was even somewhat sad that I don't have to return. Thank you Dover office, I really appreciate your kindness and how you make your patients feel welcome!

Three surgeries for trigger fingers by Dr. Richterman. He does a great job from start to finish. I have been a patient at OMNI Orthopaedics for years. From back pain to a broken ankle. Every one there is wonderful. I would never go anywhere else.

Trigger Finger
It has only been 6 days since my hip replacement. Even though recuperating is not a pleasant experience, it is much better than expected. I gave Dr. Pentz my complete trust and he proved to be an excellent professional. He truly is my hip angel. I sincerely thank Dr. Pentz and all the professional OMNI staff who helped me.

Total Hip Replacement
After 8 years of lower back pain that traveled down my legs, I made an appointment to see Dr. Cecil. Since my procedure I have recommended five people. I am extremely happy with his work. He's a doctor that truly cares for his patients. Because of Dr. Cecil, I can walk, sit, stand, and lay down without pain. Thank you so much. You are wonderful.

I was having severe low back and leg pain. Dr. Wake diagnosed the problem as spinal stenosis and herniated disc. He explained my diagnosis and the possible solutions. I chose to have back surgery and now my pain is completely gone. Dr. Wake encourages questions and never makes you feel rushed. He is a wonderful and caring doctor. Thanks to Dr. Wake... I am now pain free! I am very grateful to him for enabling me to once again enjoy my everyday activities. I recommend Dr. Wake to all with back problems! Thanks again to him and the staff at OMNI.

Surgery
I lived for almost 1.5 years with constant posterior, and leg pain. One consultation with Dr. Cecil and we had a plan to fix it. He made sure I was completely informed and inspired me with great confidence. He scheduled my surgery a short time later at Aultman, a bunch of fine staff. He checked in with me before the procedure to make sure I was ready. Overall, this was the best surgical outcome I could hope for. Oh, the actual area of the surgery still hurts but the butt and leg pain are rapidly clearing up. Praise God for this skilled surgeon.

Surgery
I had scoliosis (65 degree curve) along with spinal stenosis. I was referred to Dr. Mark Cecil. I knew after talking to Dr. Cecil that he could help me get back on my feet. In June of 2013, I had 16 fusions (S/1-T/3) by Dr. Cecil along with Dr. Wake assisting. After surgery and therapy I am able to do pretty much anything I want to do. I would highly recommend Dr. Cecil and OMNI.

Spinal Fusions
I was involved in a motorcycle accident on 08/05/2016 when I was hit by a car that ran a red light at an intersection resulting in me breaking the tibia, fibula and ankle in my right leg. The tibia tore through the skin which made matters worse. After a few surgeries and a few months, Dr. Papacostas had the tissue on my leg 100% healed. I do have a rod and several screws in my tibia which required additional surgeries to get the bones to start healing. All of the surgeries he performed have had positive results. I'm currently 8 months into my recovery and thanks to him, my full recovery is in sight. All I can say is that Dr. Papacostas is one amazing and extremely knowledgeable Doctor. He was very open and honest with me and explained everything he was going to do in great detail. I know for sure that he saved my leg from being amputated. I 100% recommend Dr. Papacostas and his staff to anyone that needs the best Orthopaedic Surgeon around. I will never be able to thank him enough for all he's done for me!

Open Tibia/Fibula Fracture
I had a bulged disc that was pressing on my sciatic nerve and causing my leg to go numb and was in pain all the time. I tried therapy, and then was referred to pain management for shots on my lower back. It worked for awhile, but my leg was not getting any better. I was referred to Dr. Wake for the surgery. I am very pleased to say the surgery worked. I am now pain free. Dr. Wake listened to all my concerns and told me all the options of the outcome for the surgery. He also answered all my questions and the questions my family members had. I was very impressed with his patience in answering my questions and his ability to listen to what I had to say. He made me feel confident that I was making the right decision.

Microdiscectomy
This is the second time I used the services at OMNI. I dislocated my left shoulder and damaged my ligaments, tendons & muscles. I am still receiving the Rehab program that they gave. The Team of Specialists is unbelievable. Most of the pain is gone and I should be done by the end of September. I cannot thank my team for everything they have done. As far and the doctors go, you can't beat them. I used Dr. Papacostas for my broken femur and Dr. Hellman for my shoulder. If someone would ask me where to go, it would be OMNI. The care you receive is excellent. You will feel like you have known the doctors and staff for years.
