Foot, ankle, or heel pain can bring your day to a halt fast—especially as the weather cools down around Gillette.

Whether you're dealing with bunions, tendon issues, or joint pain in your feet, you don't have to travel out of town for relief. Dr. Amy Winkleman recently joined the Wyoming Orthopedics & Spine team and brings specialized podiatric surgical care to PRSC.

If foot or ankle pain is keeping you off your feet, talk to your doctor about seeing a podiatrist and having your procedure right here at Powder River Surgery Center.

October is National Physical Therapy Month! Physical therapy is often the best first step for joint pain, but sometimes a joint needs a little extra help to move freely again.

When conservative rehab hits a wall, procedures like knee or shoulder arthroscopy can help. Our orthopedic team works directly with local physical therapists to keep your care seamless from surgery day through recovery.

Talk with your PT or doctor if you feel like your joint progress has stalled.

One of the stressful parts about having a knee replacement is opening the mail weeks later to multiple bills from the surgical facility, the surgeon, anesthesia, and assistants.

If you're planning a knee replacement and have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming, PRSC has teamed up with them to make the process easier. Through our Bundled Care Program, your facility fee, anesthesia, surgeon's fee, and assistant's fee are all wrapped into one package, meaning you get just one single bill instead of four different ones. Some patients may be able to participate at zero out-of-pocket cost.

If you’ve been putting off knee surgery, ask your doctor if this bundled option at PRSC is available for your care plan. Click here to learn more: https://www.powderriver-sc.com/bundled-care-program

Myth: Outpatient surgery centers are only for simple, minor procedures like mole removals or basic injections.

Fact: Major procedures, like total joint replacements, spine surgeries, and complex eye, GI, or podiatry care, are routinely and safely performed in modern outpatient centers. Because facilities like Powder River Surgery Center focus exclusively on scheduled surgeries, our operating suites and clinical teams are set up to handle complex procedures safely, so you can go home the same day and recover in your own bed.

When your doctor recommends surgery, ask if an outpatient setting at PRSC is an option for your care plan.
