Dr. Carter specializes in non-surgical orthopedic problems, including overuse injuries, osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and fracture care. He is also trained to diagnose and treat sports-related issues such as concussions, heat-related illnesses, cardiovascular problems, and exertional compartment syndrome. Dr. Carter is skilled in the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound and can perform various injections, including steroid and viscosupplementation to name a few.
