Knee Treatments: Restoring Strength and Stability

  • ACL, MCL, LCL, or PCL Injuries: Specialized treatment plans focus on restoring knee stability, reducing pain, and preventing long-term complications. Whether through non-surgical rehabilitation or advanced surgical repair, these treatments help patients regain strength and mobility.
  • Meniscus Surgery: Cartilage damage can cause persistent pain and stiffness. Meniscus repair or removal improves joint function, reduces inflammation, and enhances mobility, allowing patients to return to daily activities or sports.
  • Patella (Kneecap) Instability: Misalignment can lead to chronic pain and recurrent dislocations. Targeted procedures correct positioning, strengthen surrounding muscles, and prevent future instability, ensuring long-term knee function.
  • Quadriceps or Patella Tendon Injuries: These injuries weaken leg strength and knee movement. Treatment options include physical therapy, regenerative medicine, and surgical repair, all designed to restore flexibility, rebuild strength, and enhance knee performance for a pain-free lifestyle.

For those searching for an orthopedic in Edgewater, these comprehensive knee treatments provide long-term relief and enhanced mobility.

Shoulder Treatments: Restoring Function and Relieving Pain

  • Rotator Cuff Repair: Minimally invasive procedure to repair tendon damage and restore function.
  • Shoulder Instability Treatments: Helps prevent frequent dislocations and stabilize the joint.
  • Arthritis Management: Reduces inflammation and enhances shoulder flexibility.
  • Rotator Cuff Impingement & Tendonitis Relief: Targeted therapies to relieve pain and promote healing.
  • Biceps & Calcific Tendonitis Treatment: Customized plans to restore mobility and reduce discomfort.
  • Frozen Shoulder Therapy: Specialized care to improve range of motion and reduce stiffness.

Elbow Conditions: Effective Treatment for Pain and Mobility Issues

  • UCL Tear Treatment: Ligament damage in the elbow can weaken stability and limit arm function, especially in athletes and individuals performing repetitive motions. Targeted therapy, bracing, and rehabilitation help strengthen the UCL, while surgical reconstruction is available for severe cases to fully restore elbow strength and prevent long-term issues.
  • Biceps & Triceps Tendon Ruptures: These injuries can significantly affect arm mobility and strength, making everyday tasks and athletic performance difficult. Non-surgical treatments like physical therapy and bracing may help mild cases, while surgical repair is recommended for complete ruptures to restore full function, prevent muscle weakness, and ensure long-term mobility.
  • Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow Therapies: Chronic overuse can lead to painful inflammation, reduced grip strength, and restricted arm movement. Treatment focuses on reducing strain, alleviating pain, and strengthening forearm muscles through targeted therapies, regenerative medicine, and customized rehabilitation programs for lasting relief.

With customized treatment plans, patients can return to their normal activities without pain or limitations.

Cartilage Restoration: Advanced Solutions for Joint Health

  • Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation: Uses a patient’s cells to repair joint surfaces.
  • Meniscus Transplant Procedures: Restores knee function by replacing damaged cartilage with healthy donor tissue.
  • Osteochondral Allograft Transfer: Helps patients regain mobility by replacing worn cartilage with healthy tissue.
