Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a joint pain specialist?
You should see a specialist if your joint pain lasts more than a few days, interferes with daily activities, causes swelling or stiffness, or worsens over time. Early intervention can prevent further damage and improve your long-term mobility.
What types of joint pain do you treat?
We treat joint pain affecting the knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and ankles. Whether your pain is caused by arthritis, injury, overuse, or another underlying condition, our specialists provide accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment options.
Do you offer non-surgical treatments for joint pain?
Yes. We prioritize conservative treatments first, including physical therapy, joint injections (like corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid), PRP therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Surgery is only considered if these treatments don’t provide sufficient relief.
What diagnostic tools are used to evaluate joint pain?
Our specialists use a combination of physical exams, medical history, advanced imaging (like X-rays, MRIs, or ultrasounds), and lab work to determine the root cause of your joint pain and develop an effective treatment plan.
