Joint Problems.
Keep moving without constant pain. Whether it's arthritis, injury, or overuse, we help you stay active and mobile.
What We Treat
Common Joint Problems:
Knee pain (arthritis, meniscus tears, ligament injuries)
Shoulder problems (rotator cuff, impingement, frozen shoulder)
Hip pain (arthritis, bursitis, labral tears)
Elbow issues (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow)
Ankle and foot pain
Our Approach.
-
Joint pain has many causes. We use physical examination, imaging review, and sometimes diagnostic injections to identify exactly what's causing your symptoms.
-
For most joint problems, we start with:
Physical therapy focused on strengthening and stability
Activity modification (not stopping, just modifying)
Anti-inflammatory strategies
Bracing when appropriate
-
When conservative care isn't enough:
Corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation
Hyaluronic acid injections for knee arthritis
Nerve blocks for chronic joint pain
Regenerative medicine (PRP) for appropriate cases
-
Some joint problems require surgery: complete tears, severe instability, advanced arthritis. We'll evaluate your options and recommend the best path forward for your specific situation.
Treatment Options Explained:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Your own blood is processed to concentrate healing factors, then injected into the damaged area. Can be effective for:
Mild to moderate knee arthritis
Chronic tendon injuries
Certain ligament problems
Honest talk about PRP:
Not magic, and results vary
Takes weeks to months to work (not immediate like steroid injections)
Not covered by insurance
We'll tell you if you're not a good candidate
We don't push regenerative treatments. We offer them when they make sense for your specific problem.
Keeping Active Adults Active
We understand that mindset. The goal isn't just "reduce pain," it's to keep you doing what matters to you.
For active adults with joint pain, that often means:
Finding the right balance of activity and rest
Modifying technique or training to reduce stress on joints
Strengthening supporting muscles
Knowing when to back off and when to push through
We help you make those decisions based on your specific situation and goals.
