Treatments
Non-Operative Treatment
Our practice treats patients through the least invasive means available and most often without surgery. Many patients are treated successfully through a comprehensive non-operative treatment program that may include selective modification of activities, oral pain medications, physical rehabilitation, corticosteroid injections, and orthobiologic agents. Patients without any interest in undergoing surgery are invited for consultation to learn their diagnosis, as well as low-risk ways to reduce their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Surgical Procedures
For patients whose symptoms persist despite attempted non-operative treatment, surgical treatment may be recommended. In our practice, the decision to proceed with surgery is made through a shared decision-making process with the patient.
