New West Sports Medicine in Kearney NE, offers services for the following symptoms and pain. Orthopaedics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the musculoskeletal system, which is made up of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and nerves. Orthopaedic surgeons diagnose and provide operative and non-operative treatment options to patients.

All of our surgeons are board certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS). The purpose of the certification process is to establish educational and qualification standards for orthopaedic surgeons to improve the quality of care and outcomes for patients. Furthermore, our surgeons are fellowship trained. Fellowship training is an additional year of specialty specific training and is not a requirement for orthopaedic surgeons. It indicates that a surgeon has shown the highest level of dedication and training in their field.

Our physician assistants are certified by the National Commission on the Certification of Physician Assistants and our nurse practitioner is certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. These certifications support a dedication to providing high quality care by establishing standards for clinical knowledge, professional behavior, and continuing education requirements.

Neck/Spine

Provider: James Mahalek, MD

Think of your spine as three different sections. The neck and upper back are your Cervical Spine (C-Spine), the mid-back is called your Thoracic Spine (T-Spine), and the low back consists of your Lumbar Spine (L-Spine) and Sacral Spine (S-Spine). Although they are close together, each section requires its own extensive evaluation just as a knee and a shoulder are different evaluations. This means we are only able to focus on one section during an appointment.
