Restore Mobility. Reduce Pain. Regain Control.
Is your joint pain bothering you? Be it knee pain, elbow discomfort, or shoulder ache, whatever the cause, you are not alone. There are several reasons for this kind of discomfort, such as aging, a past sports injury, or strain. At Paul Rothenberg, PRP Orthopedic Care in Edgewater, NJ, you get the right treatment you deserve.
At our Edgewater orthopedic center, we specialize in PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment, a treatment that uses the healing potential of your own body to repair tissue, remove pain, and enhance function. We also employ the latest surgical and non-surgical solutions if necessary. Patients refer us from Clifton, Orange, Newark, Hackensack, Jersey City, Edgewater, and Bayonne, and every patient receives a customized plan centered on what is important to them.
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP is taking a small sample of your blood and processing it to extract platelets and other growth factors and injecting them at the location of the injury, whether in a tendon, ligament, or joint, where they help in natural healing. It is minimally invasive, and recovery usually occurs in one office visit and more rapidly than with surgery.
PRP is a useful therapy for sprains, tendon irritation, early arthritis, and chronic joint pain. It’s especially tempting if you’ve tried other therapies and had minimal success, or if surgery isn’t your first option.
Our Areas of Expertise
We specialize in orthopedic concerns around the knee, shoulder, and elbow—all areas where PRP can be very effective. Our care encompasses both PRP-based treatments and, when needed, surgery supported by thoughtful rehabilitation.
Elbow Conditions
Elbow discomfort is caused by repetitive everyday activity such as sports, lifting, typing, or hobbies. Tennis elbow, tendon ruptures, and cartilage loss are all catastrophic injuries.
We treat with expertise:
Early treatment with PRP can, in many cases, permit healing of tendons and relief from pain, avoiding surgery for many patients.
Knee Conditions
To walk, run, kneel, and move around, all you need are healthy knees. When things go worse, like a torn ligament or a bruised meniscus, your mobility and confidence are disrupted.
We treat with expertise:
Our mission is to restore you to stability, diminish inflammation, and return to activity with strength and mobility. PRP can diminish pain and postpone surgery in some or hasten healing after repair.
Shoulder Injuries
Shoulder disease can disrupt activities of daily living—dressing, lifting, even sleeping. We repair rotator cuff tears, tendonitis, stiffness of frozen shoulder, arthritis, and instability caused by dislocation or overuse.
Conditions we treat:
With PRP, we try to decrease inflammation and promote healing of the tendon. Where possible, surgery is supported by personal therapy and mobility work to be able to work safely within their new range.
Cartilage Restoration and Realignment
When cartilage is injured in the knee, elbow, or shoulder, we provide precision-based treatment solutions, particularly for younger or more active patients.
Conditions we treat:
These procedures improve joint function, relieve pain, and avoid or postpone complete joint replacement
