Joint pain refers to painful symptoms and discomfort in the joints of the hands, knees, hips, feet, or spine. Your joints might feel sore, stiff, or achy, and the pain might come and go. The pain might also be accompanied by burning sensations, throbbing sensations, or grinding sensations when you move certain parts of your body. Joint pain can severely affect your ability to perform daily activities, and it can be caused by numerous underlying conditions. We identify and treat joint pain with personalized orthopedic joint injections.

Your Treatment Options
Corticosteroid Injections
Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory medications injected into problematic joints to alleviate inflammation and reduce pain.
Viscosupplementation Injections
Viscosupplementation is the injection of hyaluronic acid into the inflamed knee joints to lubricate the cartilage and joints, allowing them to move without friction.
Exosome injections
Exosomes are extracellular sacs that communicate with the surrounding cells. Injecting exosomes into the injured tissues stimulates cellular regeneration.

Wharton’s jelly is a substance drawn from the umbilical cord within the womb. It’s injected into the inflamed/damaged tissues to stimulate cellular regeneration and alleviate inflammation.
Amniotic Membrane Injections
