Non – Surgical Procedures
Many Orthopaedic problems may be successfully treated without surgery and is rarely the first line of treatment for most patients.
- Viscosupplementation: A fluid naturally occurring in human joints that coats and lubricates the joint . Hyaluronate is injected into the joint easing the pain of moderate to severe degenerative arthritis providing immediate relief. It generally improves the quality of life for patients awaiting or seeking to postpone total joint replacement.
- Steroid Injections: A key component to non-surgical pain management and critical to successful long-term management of recurrent back and joint pain. These injections can offer immediate relief for severe pain. These injections are not typically utilized as a permanent solution and are most often used in conjunction with physical therapy.
- Plasma Rich Protein (PRP) Injections: Developed for professional athletes, PRP is your own body’s blood components which are centrifuged, concentrated, and injected into areas of chronic tendonitis. Most often used for tennis elbow, Achilles or patellar tendonitis; has shown great efficacy in areas which are not amenable to steroid injections.
