About Center for Orthopaedics
Located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Center for Orthopaedics is the region’s largest musculoskeletal group, providing comprehensive orthopedic care for patients of all ages across Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas. As the largest group practice in the region, they deliver personalized treatment for a full spectrum of orthopedic conditions, from sports injuries to complex joint replacements. The practice emphasizes non-surgical, minimally invasive approaches whenever possible, prioritizing regenerative therapies like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell treatments through partnerships with iGenesis to promote healing and restore function without surgery. Center for Orthopaedics leverages advanced regenerative medicine, physical medicine, and rehabilitation services—such as ultrasound-guided injections, radiofrequency nerve ablation, and spinal cord stimulators—to achieve optimal healing while avoiding surgical intervention when appropriate. Their commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered care is reinforced by key leadership including Dr. Steven Hale, who serves as President of the Louisiana Orthopaedic Association, and Dr. John Noble Jr., honored as Tiger of the Year by the LSU Orthopaedic Alumni Association. Founded in 1994 and significantly expanded in 2009, the practice now spans multiple locations with a dedicated team of orthopedic surgeons, physical medicine specialists, and rehabilitation experts. This commitment to innovation, excellence, and community service positions Center for Orthopaedics as a trusted leader in regenerative orthopedics, offering solutions for chronic joint pain, sports injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions in Lake Charles and Moss Bluff.
