People on the Move: Dr. Troy Joins University Orthopedics

University Orthopedics announced that it is expanding patient access to effective, non-surgical pain management with the arrival of Dellene Troy, DO, an interventional sports and spine physiatrist specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation.

 

Typically treating patients 12 and up, Dr. Troy brings a patient-centered approach to diagnosing and treating a wide range of musculoskeletal and nerve-related conditions, with a focus on restoring function and improving quality of life through injections and other non-surgical options.

“As a physiatrist, my goal is to help people feel better and get back to what matters most to them,” said Dr. Troy. “Whether that’s golfing, swimming, or simply being able to pick up a grandchild, every patient has different goals—and I work with them to achieve those.”

 

Dr. Troy specializes in identifying the root causes of pain, particularly in complex cases where symptoms may overlap or originate from multiple areas of the body.

 

“Many symptoms can be misleading,” she explained. “Pain in one area may actually be coming from somewhere else, like the spine or nerves. I work to carefully evaluate each patient, determine the true source of the problem, and develop a targeted treatment plan.”

 

Her approach emphasizes minimally invasive, non-surgical treatments designed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and help patients avoid unnecessary procedures whenever possible.

 

The addition of Dr. Troy strengthens University Orthopedics’ ability to provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary care.

 

“Expanding our access to advanced, non-surgical pain management is an important step in delivering truly comprehensive orthopedic care,” said Edward Akelman, MD, President of University Orthopedics. “Dr. Troy’s expertise allows us to help more patients find effective relief and, in many cases, avoid surgery while still achieving excellent outcomes.”

 

She will see patients at University Orthopedics locations in Cranston, Cumberland, East Greenwich, and Johnson.
