Orthopedics
With all joint and spine care, our orthopedic doctors are focused on helping you reduce acute and chronic pain, increase your range of motion and improve your quality of life so you can return as quickly as possible to doing what you love.
Our Services
Our orthopedic teams treat a wide range of conditions involving the back, neck and joints. We’ll work with you to determine whether a surgical solution or non-surgical approach to care is right for your situation.
Treatment typically begins with a thorough evaluation and advanced diagnostic tests, which may include a 128-slice CT scan, MRI, X-ray, radiography/fluoroscopy or diagnostic ultrasound.
Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement

If you have questions or want more information about the CJR model, call Holy Cross Hospital - Davis at 801-807-7580 or 1-800-MEDICARE. You can also visit the CJR page at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid website.

Osteoarthritis Pain Relief
Experience lasting relief from osteoarthritis pain with innovative Low-Dose Radiation Therapy (LDRT) at Holy Cross Hospital - Davis Cancer Center. If chronic joint pain from osteoarthritis limits your life and traditional treatments haven't helped, LDRT offers a non-surgical, targeted approach to reduce inflammation and pain.
This gentle treatment uses very low-dose radiation, not for cancer, but specifically to desensitize nerve endings and quiet pain signals from the affected joint. If you're a candidate, our team will precisely target the area using advanced CT imaging to create your personalized treatment plan, which includes six short, painless outpatient sessions. LDRT offers gradual pain relief that develops over weeks post-treatment and has minimal side effects, which may include mild, temporary, localized redness on the treated area.
Ready for relief? Don't let osteoarthritis control you. Contact Holy Cross Hospital - Davis today for a consultation by calling 801-807-7777.

Radiofrequency Ablation
Millions of people suffer from chronic low back pain, impacting their ability to work, enjoy hobbies, and simply live life to the fullest. For those people who’ve tried physical therapy, medication, and injections but still haven’t found relief, radiofrequency ablation of the basivertebral nerve (BVN) might be the answer to lasting pain relief.
Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that targets the basivertebral nerve (BVN), a major source of pain for many individuals with chronic low back pain. The BVN transmits pain signals from the vertebral body endplates in the spine to the brain. Radiofrequency ablation interrupts the nerve’s ability to transmit pain signals by
- Targeted Approach: A small incision is made in the lower back.
- Precise Navigation: Using real-time X-ray guidance, a specialized instrument is guided to the BVN.
- Radiofrequency Neurotomy: Radiofrequency energy is applied to the BVN, disrupting its ability to send pain signals.
- Minimal Recovery: The procedure typically takes about an hour, and patients can usually return home the same day.
- Lasting Relief: Clinical studies have shown significant and sustained pain reduction for up to 5 years.
- Minimally Invasive: Small incision, less tissue disruption, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
- Outpatient Procedure: Performed in an outpatient setting, allowing you to return home the same day.
- Targets the Source of Pain: Addresses the underlying cause of pain by targeting the BVN.
- Reduced Reliance on Pain Medication: Many patients experience a significant reduction in their need for pain medication.
- Improved Quality of Life: Experience increased mobility, reduced pain, and a return to activities you enjoy.
This procedure may be a good option if you:
- Have experienced chronic low back pain for at least 6 months.
- Have been diagnosed with vertebrogenic pain, meaning the pain originates from the vertebral body endplates.
- Have not found lasting relief from conservative treatments like physical therapy, medication, or injections.
