Ultrasound guided musculoskeletal diagnosis
Ultrasound guided musculoskeletal diagnosis is an office based procedure that allows us to capture images of your joint, muscle, tendon or ligament condition and it’s radiation free. This insight allows us to develop a treatment plan based on your specific condition.
Ultrasound guided injections
Ultrasound guidance enables precise placement of your injection or treatment in real time.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an office based procedure where a small amount your blood is drawn and spun to separate the platelets and growth factors. Then, your platelets and growth factors are injected into the affected area to promote healing. PRP is a great treatment for early osteoarthritis and partial tendon tears. To achieve the desired outcome, 1-2 treatments are recommended.
Prolotherapy treatment
Prolotherapy is an office based procedure where a medical grade injectable which triggers the body to send proteins and reparative cells to promote healing. Prolotherapy is a great treatment for a joint affected by early osteoarthritis or a tendon with a partial tear. To achieve the desired outcome, 3-5 treatments are typically required.
Hyaluronic acid (Gel) injection
Hyaluronic injection is an office based procedure that involves injecting a gel-like substance into a joint. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component found in your joint fluid that attracts water and acts as a lubricant. Hyaluronic acid injections are currently approved for mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee. To achieve the desired outcome, 1-3 treatments are recommended every 6 months.
Dupuytren’s contracture treatment
Dupuytren’s contracture can be treated with an office based injection. This condition occurs when the tissue under the skin of the palm thickens and tightens over time causing one or more fingers to bend toward the palm and not straighten completely. To achieve the desired outcome, 1-2 treatments are required.
Nerve block
Nerve blocks are an office based procedure that can relieve chronic extremity pain, especially post surgery. This treatment involves, with the help of a unique solution, gently moving the nerve(s) away from scar tissue that is entrapping it. This can provide lasting relief for months and can be repeated if needed. Note this procedure is not meant to treat back pain.
Nerve freezing
Nerve freezing, or cryoneurolysis, is an office based procedure that can relieve pain before surgery and during recovery. This treatment helps to numb the treatment area, typically the knee, 2 weeks before surgery. This treatment lasts about 3 months and helps reduce pain medication and improve range of motion after surgery.
Minimally invasive carpal tunnel release
Minimally invasive carpal tunnel release is a hospital based procedure that treats carpal tunnel syndrome. During this short procedure, general anesthesia is not required. The hand is thoroughly numbed and a tiny incision is made at the wrist crease. Then, with the help of ultrasound guidance, a special device is used to release the nerve from within the tunnel. No stitches are required. Most patients can return to work within days not weeks.
Minimally invasive trigger finger release
Minimally invasive trigger finger release is a hospital based procedure that treats a locking/catching finger. During this 5 minute procedure, general anesthesia is not required. The area is throughly numbed and a tiny incision is made near the palmar crease. Then, with the help of ultrasound guidance, a special device is used to release the pulley that causes the finger to lock or catch. No stitches are required. Most patients can return to work within days.
Percutaneous tenotomy treatment
Percutaneous tenotomy is a hospital based procedure that treats chronic tendon pain. During this <10 min procedure, general anesthesia is not required. The area is thoroughly numbed and a tiny incision is made to allow access to the treatment area. Then, with the help of ultrasound guidance, the tendon is treated with a special device that removes damaged tissue from the tendon. Most patients can return to work in 1-2 weeks.
