Conservative care for mechanical and /or repetitive use injuries benefits from a variety of therapies including: physical /occupational therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, yoga, pilates.

Degenerative processes may respond to injections of Stem cells or PRP which reduce pain and may promote regeneration. We avoid the repetitive intra-articular injection of steroids.

Type of Injections: 

Corticosteroid injection - These are used to treat inflammation and decrease pain.

Hyaluronic acid joint injections - These are used to replace lost synovial joint fluid, to increase mobility and range of motion.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection - These are used to treat pain and injuries of the tendons and ligaments.
