Our services include:
- Consultation: We offer expert consultations and second opinions with leading sports medicine and orthopaedic specialists
- Specialized care: Our team includes experts who specialize in knee, ankle, hip, elbow and shoulder injuries
- Advanced diagnosis: We use ultrasound-guided diagnosis for musculoskeletal issues. Ultrasound does not use radiation and enables us to get an accurate diagnosis of even the most complex conditions and injuries. Then we can plan an effective treatment for you so you can start to feel better.
- Nonsurgical procedures: We have a broad array of nonsurgical treatment options, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for chronic pain due to tendon injuries or osteoarthritis. Other nonsurgical injection procedures include proliferative therapy (also called prolotherapy), a treatment that stimulates the body to repair and heal the injured tissues.
- Minimally invasive surgery: We are committed to using the least invasive treatment possible, resulting in a shorter recovery and quicker return to activities. If you need surgery, our orthopaedic surgeons are experts in arthroscopy, a minimally invasive joint procedure.
- Physical therapy: Our physical therapists aid in diagnosis, functional assessment, rehabilitation and injury prevention. They will plan a rehabilitation program for you based on your diagnosis so you can regain your strength and function, safely and effectively. We also work with your coach or athletic trainer to coordinate care, helping you stay active and healthy.
