Our Spine, Sports Medicine and Joint Care Services
Wide-Ranging Services Tailored to Your Needs
Everything you need for the non-surgical diagnosis and treatment for all your bone, muscle and joint problems - under one roof.
We consult with every patient to provide a full and comprehensive treatment plan. Here are some of the services you may encounter:
Diagnostic Tests
- Blood Work
Used to diagnose certain conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, which can be identified by the presence of a specific substance in your blood
- Bone Density Scan (DEXA)
Uses X-rays to measure bone loss and diagnose osteoporosis
- Electrodiagnostic testing (EMG/NLS)
Measures electrical activity in your muscles to diagnose the cause of pain, weakness or numbness in your back, neck or hands
- Musculoskeletal ultrasound
Uses sound waves to produce pictures of muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints to diagnose sprains, strains, tears and pinched nerves
- X-ray
Used to diagnose broken bones, joint dislocations and bone or joint damage due to arthritis or other conditions
If your doctor determines that you need an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or CT (computed tomography) scan, our office will work with you to schedule an appointment.

- Tendon Clinic
Specialized diagnosis and non-surgical treatment for all tendon conditions. Advanced treatments include ultrasound-guided tenotomy (Tenex Procedure) and prolotherapy.
- Viscosupplementation injections
Your doctor injects a thick fluid called hyaluronate into a joint to improve lubrication in order to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Pain Management Injections
- Corticosteroid injections
Medications that mimic the effects of the hormone cortisol are injected directly into an aching joint to help control inflammation.
- Epidural injections
Your doctor injects corticosteroids and a local anesthetic directly into the epidural space of your spine.
- Fluoroscopically guided injections
Your doctor uses live X-ray (fluoroscopy) to guide the placement of a needle into a joint to ensure correct placement of the medication.
- Platelet-rich plasma injections
Your doctor injects your own blood plasma with concentrated platelets into a damaged tendon to speed up tissue repair and regeneration.
- Ultrasound-guided injections
Your doctor uses ultrasound to guide the placement of a needle into a joint to ensure correct placement of the medication.
- REGENERATIVE CELLULAR THERAPY
Also known as stem cell therapy or orthobiologic treatment, this treatment takes healthy cells from your own body with a high potential to regenerate tissue, and injects the cells into the injured area of your body, enabling your body to better heal itself.
