Comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries including sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, tendinitis, and overuse injuries. Treatment options range from physical therapy and injection therapies (PRP, cortisone) to arthroscopic surgery and ligament reconstruction.
Tommy John surgery (UCL reconstruction) replaces a torn ulnar collateral ligament in the elbow with a tendon graft. Essential for overhead athletes — especially baseball pitchers — who need to return to throwing sports. Over 85% of athletes return to their previous level of competition.
Stem cell therapy (BMAC or adipose-derived) uses your body's own regenerative cells to promote healing of damaged tissues. Used for knee osteoarthritis, chronic tendon injuries, and focal cartilage defects. Most effective in younger patients with mild-to-moderate conditions.
