Biologics are a newer class of therapies that have great possibilities for treating orthopedic injuries. We do not like to use the term "Stem Cell" because that term has been used mostly to imply that an injection anywhere would lead to regeneration of tissue. These therapies are considered "off label" and are not currently approved by the FDA.
The elbow is a hinge joint, much like the knee and hip, where two bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) meet the bone of the upper arm (humerus). Allowing you to bend and straighten your arm, wrist and fingers, the elbow has many ligaments and muscles working together with the bones to maintain healthy mobility.
Your feet are responsible for many roles in everyday activity: supporting your bodyweight, providing leverage during movement and adjusting to varying surfaces. Mobility between the foot and ankle is crucial, and the foot and ankle complex is a complicated hinge joint.
Composed of the talus of the ankle, fibula and tibia of the shin, and a number of ligaments and tendons, the health of the foot and ankle is based on how well and cohesive its anatomy is.Common foot and ankle injuries include ankle sprain, plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis. ORCA advocates nonoperative care whenever possible but understand that operation may be the only solution.

Your hip is a pivotable joint to our body, working together with tendons, bones, and muscles collectively to move the body and propel us through life, which is why mobility is crucial.
The most common mobility deficiency resides in the hips, possibly because of the "ball and socket" anatomy giving you ability to rotate and move forward, and the stability to be able to hold your bodyweight, or because of overuse and wear-and- tear of constantly being in motion.

Dr. Vermillion and the ORCA team are a rare and valuable asset in Alaska's medical community. I would score higher if the scale exceeded Five Stars. Key points... ORCA will not rush you to surgery. They perform a complete analysis which may include treatments to mitigate surgery if surgery is not yet necessary. If surgery is deemed necessary ORCA's process ensures reduced costs, reduced pain, and a fast recovery. My surgical success was the result of amazing skill, sincere patient care, and important pre-operative and post-operative education, preparation and follow-up. I went home the same day

Saw this place on TV when I called in sick. Noticed they took my insurance, even though I could already go to ANMC. I wanted someone specialized in this area. Dr. V. And his associates did an amazing job with my injury. I will be back on the trails next summer with my onewheel. In my opinion, if u want the best treatment money can buy, go and visit these fine folks. They will treat you better then family. Thank you to all at orca orthopedic research clinic of Alaska.

My son was a patient here first, and after our visit for him I decided I would seek their services and advice for some pre existing knee problems. The level of care we both received was amazing. Very thorough exams in both instances, and time was definitely taken to answer any questions and cover any concerns. This has been a long standing issue for me, and I have been seen elsewhere for it but I’ve never received a level of care at this caliber. One visit has brought more answers than multiple visits with other offices in town. I highly recommended ORCA.
Thank you all again!

I was having really bad Hip Pain. I had seen ORCA'S commercial several times. From my very first visit the whole staff was welcoming.
I had a total Left Hip replacement and it couldn't have gone any easier. From beginning to end I was fully informed on how things would go. I am so happy to have found Dr. Vermilion and Benjamin. If you need to see an Orthopedic Doctor definitely give them a call.

I love Dr. Brown! He and his staff are so nice and personable. My son had to have his foot reconstructed and my son has had such an easy recovery. My son recently began PT and when I told the Physical Therapist everything that was done, she was so surprised because of how good my son's foot looks and has been corrected. His left foot also has to be corrected but I am not worried at all because I know that he's in GREAT hands here. I highly recommend this team!
