We treat chronic joint pain, arthritis, back pain, sciatica, neuropathy, tendonitis, and many other musculoskeletal and nerve conditions.
Yes. All of our procedures are FDA-approved or evidence-based, and performed by trained specialists using advanced imaging guidance.
Most insurance plans are accepted. Coverage depends on your plan and treatment type. Some regenerative therapies (like PRP or stem cells) may be cash-pay only.
Relief can last anywhere from a few weeks to over a year, depending on the type of injection and the patient’s condition.
What’s the difference between cortisone, gel shots, and regenerative treatments?
Cortisone: Reduces inflammation, short-term relief.
Gel Shots: Lubricates joints, 6–12 months relief.
Regenerative (PRP, Stem Cells): Supports natural healing and long-term tissue repair.
Do I need surgery if these don’t work?
Not necessarily. Many patients find lasting relief without surgery. If surgery becomes the best option, our treatments often help delay or reduce the need for invasive procedures.
