Our Process

1) Assessment

History, physical exam, movement screen, and prior imaging review (bring MRI/X-ray if available).

2) Shared Decision

Discussion of options (injection vs. non-injection), realistic outcomes, and aftercare.

3) Image-Guided Procedure

Real-time ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance, sterile prep, and precise delivery.

4) Rehab Integration

Immediate dos & don’ts + a progressive plan (mobility → activation → strength → return to sport/work).

Conditions & Injection Pairings (Examples)

  • Knee OA → HA or corticosteroid; PRP considered for early OA
  • Rotator cuff tendinopathy → subacromial steroid or PRP; TPI for adjunct
  • Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) → PRP or prolotherapy after exam
  • Plantar fasciitis/Achilles tendinopathy → PRP or TPI; load-management plan
  • Lumbar radicular pain → epidural steroid after imaging and neuro exam
