Shockwave therapy is effective for many musculoskeletal conditions including plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, golfers elbow, rotator cuff calcifications, stress fractures, non-healing bone fractures (non-unions), nerve pain, arthritis, sacroiliitis, and a variety of soft tissue injuries affecting the knees, hips, and feet.
Extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy (EMTT) is a noninvasive, painless outpatient treatment which is used to treat patients suffering from degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis, chronic back pain, and overuse injuries.
HFX stands for “High Frequency, 10 kHz”. The high-frequency stimulation allows patients to achieve pain relief without the tingling that is typically felt with traditional spinal cord stimulation.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) uses a small device that is implanted under the skin to send low voltage signals directly to the spinal cord, where the signals are then relayed to the brain. Instead of feeling their pain, patients generally feel a pleasant massaging or “tingling” sensation when the stimulation is occurring
Prolotherapy is a shortened version of the term “proliferative therapy” Using a small needle, a stimulating or “proliferative” substance is placed directly at the area of tendon, muscle, or connective tissue damage. This agent acts to promote the body’s own natural healing process
FSU is a combination of all of the spinal muscles, ligaments, and nerves that keep the spine together and functioning
For both men and women
PRP appears to be very safe, given the fact that the substance being injected comes from that very same patient! Well-designed studies showing efficacy are still emerging however at this point in time there is very good data supporting the use of PRP in knee osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, spinal disc disease, and multiple types of tendinitis.
Radiofrequency (RF) is a therapy using a small needle to apply electricity and heat to a very precise targe point along the spine.
“Chicken shots” for your knee joints! The technical term for this procedure is viscosupplementation or "Rooster Comb" injections for knee pain
There are many options of treatment besides knee replacement surgery. FInd out more by scheduling a visit with the Center for Pain & Orthobiologics.
Laser therapy is a method of pain treatment that utilizes FDA-approved lasers to perform Photobiomodulation, a process by which photons (from the laser source) enter deep tissue in the painful area and trigger internal processes within the body that can increase cellular metabolism while reducing pain and inflammation.
