Common Services That I Provide In The Office
Joint Injection
Conditions such as osteoarthritis and degenerative meniscus tear can significantly affect your quality of life by causing pain and inflammation. If traditional anti-inflammatory medications have not yielded the desired relief, I may consider joint injections as a treatment option. Depending on the specific joint affected, I utilize cortisone, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or hyaluronic acid injections to effectively reduce pain and swelling.
Tendon Sheath Injection:
Tendinitis or tendinopathies, while sometimes improving on their own, may benefit from injections to expedite the healing process. Depending on the individual case, we may utilize PRP therapy or dextrose prolotherapy, and in certain situations, cortisone, to directly address the inflammation and pain associated with these conditions.
Trigger Point Injection
Known as muscle knots, trigger points are areas within the muscle that can cause significant discomfort. I often employ wet needle injection techniques to alleviate these trigger points, providing much-needed relief from the associated pain.
Fracture Management
It is important to note that not all fractures require surgical intervention. Many can be effectively treated through immobilization using splinting and casting. After conducting a thorough examination, I develop a treatment plan based on the type and severity of the fracture. Should a surgical consultation be necessary, I will coordinate a referral to ensure you receive the most appropriate care.
Nail Removal
Athletes, in particular, may experience conditions such as ingrown toenails or subungual hematoma, necessitating either partial or complete toenail removal. This procedure can provide significant relief and prevent further complications.
Sports Physicals
Comprehensive physical evaluations, including EKG if indicated, are available to ensure safe participation in sports activities.
Minor Skin Procedures
Including incision and drainage, laceration repair these procedures are performed to treat a range of minor skin conditions, offering both relief and reparative care.
