Our treatments for joint pain
When working to heal joint discomfort, our orthopedic experts take the least invasive approaches possible so that you receive the most benefits.
Joint injections
Injections of medication into an affected joint help treat pain and inflammation. These injections are a common treatment for conditions, such as arthritis, and relief can last for several months. Paired with physical therapy, joint injections can be an effective and long-lasting form of treatment that helps increase overall quality of life.
Medication management
Our orthopedists can prescribe both anti-inflammatory and pain medications to manage your symptoms. These medications can be administered orally, topically, or through injections.
Physical therapy and rehabilitation
Our network of physical therapists and orthopedic experts will guide you through rehabilitation to restore and maintain your joint health. Supervised exercise that targets symptoms related to arthritis and other joint conditions can not only help rebuild mobility of affected joints, but also improve blood flow.
Joint replacement surgery
If your joint pain persists or worsens, and nonsurgical treatment is ineffective, your orthopedist may suggest surgery. We offer consults and referrals to joint specialists for various types of joint replacement surgeries, including procedures for the shoulder, hip and knee.
