Knee Pain Relief and Injury Treatment

Knee issues can limit movement and cause long-term discomfort if not addressed. Dr. Rothenberg offers treatments that help patients regain function and stability.

  • ACL Repair – Ligament injuries can weaken knee support and affect mobility. Surgical and non-surgical options help restore stability and prevent further strain.
  • Meniscus Surgery – Damaged cartilage leads to stiffness and discomfort. This procedure repairs the meniscus, allowing smoother movement and better flexibility.
  • MCL, LCL, and PCL Care – Injuries to these ligaments weaken knee function. Strengthening and stabilization techniques improve recovery and prevent instability.
  • Kneecap Realignment – Patella instability increases the risk of dislocations. Treatment plans focus on improving alignment and reducing recurring knee issues.
  • Quadriceps and Patella Tendon Therapy – Weakness in these tendons affects leg strength. A structured approach helps restore movement and rebuild knee function.

For those looking for an orthopedic in Bloomfield, these treatments provide pain relief and long-term joint health.

Shoulder Pain Solutions and Injury Recovery

The shoulder plays a key role in movement, and injuries can make daily activities difficult. Dr. Rothenberg offers specialized treatments to restore function.

  • Rotator Cuff Repair – Tendon tears reduce shoulder mobility. This procedure repairs damage and improves overall arm strength.
  • Stabilizing Shoulder Injuries – Frequent dislocations weaken the joint. Treatment includes strengthening techniques to reduce instability.
  • Shoulder Arthritis Care – Joint pain can limit movement. Focused treatment reduces discomfort and helps improve flexibility.
  • Rotator Cuff Inflammation Treatment – Inflammation causes stiffness and weakness. Targeted therapies relieve pain and restore function.
  • Biceps and Calcific Tendonitis Therapy – Swelling in the biceps or calcium deposits in the tendon restrict movement. Specialized care reduces irritation and improves mobility.
  • Frozen Shoulder Care – Stiffness in the joint limits movement. Recovery strategies focus on improving the range of motion and reducing discomfort.

Elbow Injuries and Pain Management

Elbow injuries affect both athletes and individuals with repetitive motion strain. Treatment options focus on restoring strength and reducing pain.

  • UCL Tear Treatment – Ligament injuries impact elbow function. Strength-building therapies or surgical interventions help restore movement.
  • Biceps and Triceps Tendon Repair – These tendons support arm movement. Treatment aims to rebuild strength and improve function.
  • Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow Therapy – Overuse injuries cause pain and swelling. Recovery plans include reducing inflammation and improving grip strength.

Cartilage Repair and Joint Preservation

Cartilage damage affects joint function and can lead to long-term pain. Regenerative treatments support healing and improve mobility.

  • Cell-Based Cartilage Therapy – Uses a patient’s own cells to help damaged cartilage heal and improve joint movement.
  • Meniscus Transplant – Severe cartilage damage may require replacement with healthy tissue to restore knee stability.
  • Osteochondral Grafting – Worn-out cartilage is replaced with new tissue to enhance mobility and reduce pain.
  • Bone Realignment Procedures – Misaligned bones place extra stress on joints. Adjusting positioning helps improve movement and prevent further issues.
