If one of my daughters falls and breaks an arm, if I roll an ankle during my gym class, or if my husband suddenly throws his back out while lifting heavy weights, I’m honestly not sure where we would have gone to be treated before learning about OS1 in Madison! Like many people, I previously assumed that my choices would have been either urgent care or the emergency room.
Though I hope my family doesn’t face any injuries any time soon, I know now where we will go if and when the unexpected happens, and we need care following a sudden injury. Learning about OS1 Orthopedic and Sports Injury Clinic has been absolutely fascinating to me, primarily because I had no idea such a reliable, easy option has been right under all of our noses.
I’ve watched the Madison location being built and have driven past it hundreds of times over the past few years. I had subconsciously categorized it as physical therapy or rehabilitation, which turns out not to be what it is at all.
While sports injuries are certainly a large part of what they do, their patient base extends far beyond athletes. Orthopedic injuries happen to people at all kinds of ages and activity levels. From broken arms to sprained ankles to lingering joint pain, OS1 is ready to see all of it!
OS1 treats everything from fractures, sprains, strains, and dislocations to chronic knee, shoulder, and back pain, tendonitis, arthritis, and other orthopedic conditions. Whether the injury happened five minutes ago or has been bothering you for five years, they can help determine what’s actually going on and what your next step should be.
OS1 is passionate about the diagnostic process and streamlining it as much as possible.
For example, if your teen twists their knee during sports practice, you may not be sure whether it’s just a minor sprain or something more serious that needs attention. Some families might bounce between multiple providers before getting answers, especially if they started at an urgent care and were then referred somewhere else for imaging. That wait may take days or weeks from an MRI appointment before finally landing in an orthopedic office.
OS1 is going to streamline it all, so keep in mind that it’s easy to start here!
They have on-site digital X-ray capabilities, which means patients can often quickly determine whether they are dealing with a fracture or another type of injury. They also offer on-site Open MRI services, which can significantly shorten the wait for a diagnosis. When you’re in pain, waiting several days or weeks for answers can feel like an eternity!
OS1 isn’t attempting to replace orthopedic surgeons. In fact, they do not perform surgeries at all, but will get you all set up with a surgeon of your choice or theirs who will be ready to receive you for surgery as soon as possible, if needed.
If a patient ultimately needs surgery, the team can perform much of the evaluation and diagnostic workup beforehand. By the time the patient arrives at a surgeon’s office, imaging has often been completed and the important information necessary for surgery has been gathered.
While significant injuries tend to get the most attention, a large percentage of orthopedic visits involve problems that can be treated conservatively.
OS1 offers treatment options that may include braces, boots, slings, casting, physical therapy referrals, and injections. They treat common conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, trigger finger, sports injuries, and chronic joint pain.
They also offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, which uses a patient’s own blood to support the healing process. (Amazing!) During the procedure, a blood sample is drawn and processed on-site before being injected into the treated area. This allows the body to heal itself!
One of the physicians affiliated with OS1 is Dr. Chadley Runyan, MD, a sports medicine physician with extensive experience treating orthopedic and musculoskeletal injuries. Dr. Runyan earned his medical degree from the University of Toledo College of Medicine, completed his Family Medicine residency at the University of Michigan, and went on to complete a Sports Medicine Fellowship at Marshall University.
He is so excited to now call Madison home and serve our community and beyond!
OS1 accepts most major insurance plans and offers self-pay options for patients without insurance. Appointments can be scheduled in advance, but walk-ins are MORE than welcome!
The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from noon until 5 p.m.
