Arthritis is one of the most common reasons Bozeman-area patients visit Bridger Orthopedic, and we believe living with constant joint pain isn't something you should simply accept.

Today's treatment options range from activity modifications and physical therapy to injections and, when appropriate, joint replacement surgery. As Bozeman's orthopedic and joint specialists, our team looks at your specific symptoms, lifestyle, and goals before recommending a treatment plan.

The earlier arthritis is evaluated, the more opportunities there may be to relieve pain and preserve joint function, which is why we encourage Gallatin Valley residents not to wait to see us when they're in pain.

Knowledge is one of the best tools for protecting your joints. If arthritis is slowing you down, Bridger Orthopedic is here to help you get back to all of life's motions!

When hip or knee pain begins limiting your everyday life, even simple activities like climbing stairs, taking a walk, or getting out of a chair can become frustrating.

Dr. T. Scott Curry specializes in hip and knee replacements as well as revision surgery and works with patients to find the treatment plan that's right for them. He's a conservative physician, meaning surgery is never his first move. Many patients start with conservative treatments, education, and personalized care before considering surgery.

His goal is simple: help people reduce pain, restore movement, and get back to enjoying the Montana lifestyle they love. Dr. Curry spends his own time outdoors hunting, fishing, hiking, and kayaking, so he understands what patients are working to get back to.

Throughout September, we'll be sharing practical information about arthritis, joint replacement, recovery, and ways to keep your joints healthy for years to come. Follow us to learn more.

September is Healthy Aging Month, and one of the best ways to stay active is to keep your joints healthy.

While some stiffness is a normal part of aging, persistent pain that limits your daily activities isn't something you have to simply accept. Staying active, maintaining a healthy weight, building strength, and addressing joint pain early can all help you continue doing the things you enjoy.

Whether that's hiking your favorite trail, chasing grandchildren around the yard, golfing with friends, or taking the dog for a walk, healthy joints help make those moments possible.

Growing older doesn't have to mean giving up the lifestyle you love. What activity are you hoping to enjoy for years to come? Tell us in the comments!

At Bridger Orthopedic, physician assistants are part of every day patient care.

In both our walk-in urgent care locations, PAs diagnose and treat injuries. In the clinic and OR, PAs work alongside our orthopedic surgeons on everything from clinic visits, to pre-op planning, to hands-on support during surgery. Whether you're walking in for a sprain or preparing for a procedure, our PAs are here for you.

Dealing with an unexpected injury can be a roller coaster, so make sure you have the right team in your corner for the best possible experience along the way!

Knee ligament injuries are one of the most common reasons athletes and active adults come through our doors. ACL, MCL, PCL, and LCL tears happen often during sports, work, and regular old activities.

Our team sees these injuries often enough to recognize the pattern fast. On-site imaging with Bridger Orthopedic can confirm the diagnosis, and we build a treatment plan around your specific injury and your goals.

Some ligament injuries can heal with physical therapy and non-surgical care which we can help with. Others do need surgical repair, which we're also here for. We work with you and any other providers to come up with a treatment plan that is right for you.

You don't need a referral for the visit that starts the process. Call us today if you or someone you know is dealing with difficult knees!

Most of the time when you hurt yourself playing or working, you don't need a specialist appointment three weeks out, you need someone who can look at it today.

Our walk-in Orthopedic Urgent Care is built to help, no referral needed or appointment required, at both our Bozeman and Belgrade locations.

We handle the injuries that land in that gray zone between "walk it off" and "call 911." This can include sprains, fractures, dislocations, and anything where you're not sure which one you're dealing with. On-site imaging means we can get you a diagnosis the same day, seven days a week.

Bottom line: if it's swollen, you can't put weight on it, or something feels off, come see us before it gets the chance to turn into a bigger problem.

Two locations. No appointment. Just show up!

Dr. Emily Compton is a board certified Upper Extremity Orthopedic Surgeon with subspecialty and fellowship training in Surgery of the Hand. She chose this specialty because hand function is vital to everyday life and she feels it is her mission to help restore or improve this function for her patients whenever possible.

Together with her husband, Dr. Compton is absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to raise their two children in Montana — close to family and the mountain trails. She continues to be active with cross-country skiing, snowboarding, backpacking, mountain biking, and scuba diving. At home, she enjoys audiobooks — and the challenges of parenting, woodworking, gardening, and mushroom cultivation.

From buttoning a shirt and typing at work, to casting a fly rod, gripping a bike handlebar, or holding a grandchild's hand, your hands are part of almost everything you do, and we're here to help you keep them moving so you can do what you love most!

"I chose Dr. Curry and his amazing team of superstars at Bridger Orthopedic."

Sean had his first hip surgery at 6 weeks old, and experienced chronic hip pain for much of his life. In his 40's he realized he couldn't manage the pain without additional surgery, and has experienced a large improvement in his quality of life after seeing Dr. Curry and his team.

We're so grateful to patients like Sean who let us be a part of their story.

Every time you walk, your knees absorb forces that are several times your body weight!

Climbing a flight of stairs? Even more force.
Going for a run? The load increases again.

Keeping your knees healthy isn't just about avoiding injury. It's also about staying active for hiking, skiing, biking, pickleball, and everything else that makes living in Montana so amazing.

If chronic knee pain is holding you back, we're here to help. From non-surgical pain management and physical therapy, to regenerative medicine that uses a patient's own healing cells to support tissue healing, to robotic-assisted partial knee and total-knee replacements, we have a treatment that can help you get back to doing what you love.

If your knees could use some attention, call to schedule a consult today.
