BONE AND JOINT problems can happen
at any time in life. A fall on the ice,
repetitive injuries or just plain wear
and tear over the years can be just as
damaging as a sports injury. Ashtabula
County Medical Center (ACMC) offers
orthopaedic specialists who go beyond
sports injuries. Cleveland Clinic
Orthopaedic Surgeon Mark Verdun, DO,
is joined by ACMC Orthopaedic surgeons
Amar Mutnal, MD, and John Posch,
MD, as well as Rebecca Loomis, PA. Our
specialists see patients full time at The
Ashtabula Clinic to solve both simple
and difficult orthopaedic problems. They
use the latest techniques and technology
to improve care for people with
musculoskeletal problems.
They specialize in the diagnosis and
treatment of disorders of the bones,
joints, tendons, muscles and nerves.
Subspecialties include arthritis; ankle,
foot, hand, hip, knee and joint pain;
osteoarthritis; shoulder and sports
injuries; as well as adult joint replacement
and reconstruction.
The orthopaedic surgeons work
closely with ACMC physical therapists
to improve rehabilitation following
treatment. Together, they develop an
exercise-based treatment plan to help
you relearn how to move your body
properly. They use other treatments to
minimize pain, increase range of motion
and improve muscle control. They do all
of this with one goal in mind: getting you
back to your family and doing what you
love.
“ACMC’s affiliation with Cleveland
Clinic and Dr. Verdun brings world-class
diagnosis and treatment to Ashtabula
County,” said ACMC Healthcare System
President and CEO Michael Habowski.
“Cleveland Clinic Orthopedics is ranked
third in the nation by U.S. News and
World Report. Dr. Posch has more than
40 years’ experience as a physician.
Dr. Mutnal recently joined ACMC after
completing a sports medicine fellowship
at Cleveland Clinic. Our physicians have
the skill and expertise to treat patients of
any age right here in Ashtabula County.”
