We’re proud to be featured in Becker's Spine Review!

At OrthoNebraska, we’re rethinking when care begins. Through prehabilitation, patients start preparing for recovery before surgery ever takes place, building confidence, reducing uncertainty and improving outcomes. It’s a different approach to orthopedic care that continues to make a meaningful impact for our patients.

Youth sports should build your kid up, not break them down.

Playing the same sport six days a week might seem like the fast track to success. In reality, it increases the risk of overuse injuries, burnout and fewer years enjoying the game. Kids need variety in movement to build strength, coordination and long term mobility.

If your young athlete is sore more than they feel strong, it may be time to adjust their routine. We can help you find a safer balance that keeps them healthy, active and in the game longer. https://orthonebraska.com/service/athletic-performance/

Advancing care with the latest in spine treatment! 👨‍⚕️

OrthoNebraska continues to bring innovative spine care to patients, including a recent L5-S1 right-sided interlaminar discectomy performed by Dr. Porter.

Procedures like this are used to relieve pressure on spinal nerves, helping reduce pain and improve mobility. Treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. Surgical approaches are carefully selected based on each patient’s specific condition and needs.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Porter and team on a successful surgery!
