Often injury, broken bones and conditions of the spine and other joints involve damage to the nervous system that produces pain. Input from a neurologist and an orthopedic surgeon can result in improved care for the patient. At OrthoArkansas, these collaborations are the rule rather than the exception because we have a neurologist, Dr. Michael Chesser, on our staff.

In addition to treating accident and fall victims, who frequently suffer nerve damage, Dr. Chesser becomes involved in the treatment of neck, spine and joint conditions and the pain that usually accompanies them. He also diagnoses and treats the full spectrum of neurologic conditions that include, but are not limited to, muscle strength and movement; balance and reflexes; memory, speech, language; and other cognitive abilities. Offering our patients both neurological and orthopedic specialties add up to superb care.
