- ArthritisAll arthritides potentially feature pain. Pain patterns may differ depending on the arthritides and the location. Rheumatoid arthritis is generally worse in the morning and associated with stiffness; in the early stages, patients often have no symptoms after a morning shower. Osteoarthritis, on the other hand, tends to be worse after exercise. In the aged and children, pain might not be the main presenting feature; the aged patient simply moves less, the infantile patient refuses to use the affected limb.

- Ultrasound“to achieve the same goal as surgery without the use of general anesthesia.” The patient is given a local anesthetic and remains fully awake. Ultrasound imaging is used to identify the scar tissue.
- RadiologyDiagnosis is made by clinical examination from an appropriate health professional, and may be supported by other tests such as radiology and blood tests, depending on the type of suspected arthritis.

- Sports MedicineU.S. Center for Sports Medicine is proud to introduce a new treatment option, designed to remove the source of tendon pain. The FAST procedure (FOCUSED ASPIRATION OF SCAR TISSUE) is based on advanced technology developed in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic. FAST is a minimally invasive treatment designed to remove tendon scar tissue, allowing patients to return to their athletics and active lifestyles.
- Physical TherapyUntil now, the options for treating severe tendon and fascia pain were rest, physical therapy, Plasma, and an open surgical procedure. Patients utilizing rest, physical therapy, and medication may find some pain relief but will not actually address the cause of the pain. PRP therapy injects the patient’s own healthy growth stimulating platelets and nutrients back into the injured tissue for accelerated healing. We run one of busiest PRP treatment practices in the country and may combine PRP therapy with FAST in certain medical conditions. Although surgery can be beneficial, it is accompanied by potential side effects and considerable down time. All of these treatment options have prolonged recovery periods and restricted activity, which may be unacceptable to patients.

- Achilles TendonitisPatients may want to consider PRP therapy if they have been diagnosed with arthritis or an injury to a tendon or a ligament. The injury may be either recent or chronic. Common injuries include: tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, bursitis, rotator cuff tears, jumper’s knee, Achilles tendonitis, planar fasciitis and any ligament strain or sprain.
- Plantar Fasciitis“Patients with severe plantar fasciitis are consumed by pain from their first step in the morning to their last step at night. They are forced to stop running and working out because the pain is so intense.” Patients with tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are devastated when severe pain prevents them from playing and competing in their beloved sport.
