Conditions Treated by Our Sports Medicine Physician

Comprehensive care for individuals suffering from both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis (OA) affects many people, particularly in the knees, hips, shoulders, and other joints such as the MTP (metatarsophalangeal) and CMC (carpometacarpal) joints. As a sports medicine expert, I provide personalized treatment plans that aim to alleviate pain and improve joint function through a combination of conservative therapies and cutting-edge treatments.
• Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Frozen shoulder can cause significant pain and limit the range of motion in the shoulder. I offer specialized treatments like capsular distension and hydrodilatation to reduce pain and restore shoulder function.
• Symptomatic Shoulder and Hip Labral Tears: Labral tears in the shoulder or hip can cause debilitating pain and instability. I provide precise diagnostics and treatment options to manage symptoms and help patients regain strength and mobility.
• Femoral Acetabular Impingement (FAI): This hip condition can cause pain and limit motion. As a sports medicine doctor, I offer targeted treatment plans for patients with FAI, including physical therapy, injections, and other advanced options to alleviate pain and improve function.
• Diagnostic Joint and Soft Tissue Injections: I provide diagnostic and presurgical injections for peripheral joints and soft tissues. These injections help determine the source of pain and assist in guiding further treatment, including corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and nStride APS.
• Tendinosis, Tenosynovitis, and Bursitis: Conditions like tendinosis (chronic tendon degeneration), tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendon sheath), and bursitis (inflammation of the bursae) can significantly affect daily activities. I specialize in effective, targeted treatments to reduce inflammation and promote healing in affected tendons and soft tissues.
• Plantar Fasciitis: Plantar fasciitis causes pain in the heel, particularly with first steps in the morning. I use advanced techniques to reduce pain and inflammation, promoting long-term healing.
• Ganglion Cysts: These fluid-filled sacs, often located near joints or tendons, can cause discomfort and limit movement. I offer aspiration and treatment options to resolve symptoms and restore joint function.
• Aspiration of Joints, Bursas, and Cysts: For conditions like Baker's cysts or distended bursas, I perform aspiration to remove excess fluid, reducing pressure and pain in the affected areas.

Injection Treatments for Effective Relief

I am well-versed in the indications and applications of several advanced injection options for treating musculoskeletal pathologies:

• Corticosteroids: These powerful anti-inflammatory injections are effective for managing pain and swelling in joint conditions, such as arthritis and tendinitis.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Used primarily in the treatment of osteoarthritis, hyaluronic acid injections help lubricate the joint and reduce pain while improving function.
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): PRP therapy uses the patient’s own platelets to stimulate healing and repair damaged tissue. It is an effective option for treating tendon injuries, joint pain, and soft tissue disorders.
• nStride APS: A breakthrough treatment option for osteoarthritis and joint pain, nStride APS is a platelet-based therapy that helps regenerate tissue, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain.
