PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma), BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate), and precision-guided injections using fluoroscopy and ultrasound to ensure optimal accuracy and effectiveness. 

 

Focus on Long-Term Relief


Long-term relief and re-injury prevention is also at the crux of what we offer. Therefore, we work with a range of specialists to help you manage your condition with targeted physical therapy and exercise programs, including:

 

  • Strengthening, flexibility, and sport-specific exercises
  • Comprehensive return-to-sport protocols for athletes
  • Transition to wellness exercises such as yoga and Pilates
  • Guidance on relative rest and low-impact activities, such as aquatic therapy

 

We recognize that each patient’s experience is unique, and what might work for one person may not work for another. For this reason, our team will work closely with you to find the most effective treatment approach for your specific case.
