Our approach utilizes surgical and non-surgical treatments with personalized care plans. One key surgical intervention is joint replacement.

Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is a cornerstone of rehabilitation and recovery. It’s designed to help patients recover from injuries and surgeries or manage chronic conditions. It utilizes techniques such as targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education to regain your physical abilities.
Our physical therapists work closely with patients to develop personalized plans that address their specific needs. This approach can help you by:
- Improving your mobility
- Strengthening your muscles
- Increasing your flexibility
- Educating you on proper movement and posture
Through this, you can achieve optimal function after an injury or surgery.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative treatment that harnesses the body’s natural healing abilities. It works by collecting concentrated platelets from your blood and injecting them into the injured area. PRP therapy can accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints.
This minimally invasive procedure is an excellent option for patients seeking alternatives to surgery or those looking to enhance the healing process.
Viscosupplementation
If you’re having a tough time with osteoarthritis in your knee, viscosupplementation might be something to consider. It’s a treatment where a gel-like substance, known as hyaluronic acid, is injected into the affected joint. This fluid helps to lubricate and cushion the joint, making movement smoother and less painful. It can even help put off the need for surgery a bit longer.
