SHOULDER DISORDERS Whether it's a nagging pain every time you move your arm or a sharp pain that stops you in your tracks, shoulder pain can make daily life challenging, and at times impossible. The basic design of the shoulder, with its vast range of motion and flexibility, leaves it susceptible to injury, and waiting to get treatment can make the injury worse. If your shoulder pain didn't respond to rest and ice, then it's time for the doctors at Advanced Orthopedic & Spine Care to take a closer look. Pinpointing the cause is the first step toward choosing the right treatment option, which may include therapy, medication, rest, or surgery. Our medical professionals can quickly diagnose and treat your pain to get your shoulder back to normal. ​ COMMON CAUSES OF SHOULDER PAIN Sprains and strains Dislocations Separations Tendinitis Bursitis Torn rotator cuffs Frozen shoulder Fractures (broken bones) Arthritis schedule appointment

X-RAY SERVICES X-rays, also called radiographs, are the oldest and one of the most common and widely available diagnostic imaging techniques in medicine. Even if you need more sophisticated tests, you will probably get an X-ray first. An X-ray involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. A bone X-ray makes images of any bone in the body, including the hand, wrist, arm, foot, ankle, knee, leg, or spine. At Advanced Orthopedic & Spine Care, our team of highly skilled professionals use state-of-the-art technology to take, read, diagnose, and treat your orthopedic issues. We’re a one-stop shop for all your diagnostic-imaging needs. schedule appointment

Let's harness your body's natural healing capabilities and get you back to doing what you love. ​ ​ ​ Step-by-Step Guide to PRP Treatment Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a less invasive approach compared to traditional surgery. Here's a detailed, step-by-step breakdown of the procedure: ​ Step 1: Blood Collection A small sample of blood (between 10-60ml, depending on the PRP system) is drawn from the patient's arm, similar to a routine blood test. Step 2: Preparation of PRP The collected blood is placed in a disposable container or test tube. This container is then put into a centrifuge machin e, which spins the blood to separate its components by density. ​ Step 3: Separation and Concentration After about 15 minutes of spinning, the blood components are separated. The process isolates the platelets, which play a crucial role in healing injuries. Step 4: Extraction of Platelets The concentrated platelets are extracted into a syringe, creating the platelet-rich plasma ready for injection. Step 5: Anesthetizing the Injection Site To minimize discomfort, the area around the injury may be numbed with a local anesthetic. Step 6: Accurate Injection Using advanced imaging techniques like fluoroscopy or dynamic musculoskeletal ultrasound, the doctor precisely injects the PRP into the damaged tendon area. A simple Band-Aid is applied to the injection site afterwards. Post-Injection Care Observation : Patients might stay under observation from a few minutes to half an hour post-injection. Managing Discomfort : Some discomfort or swelling at the injection site is normal and can last a few days, reflecting the body's natural healing response. Home Care Tips: Apply ice to the injected area to reduce swelling. Keep the leg elevated. Limit physical activities for a few days. Comfort measures, such as staying comfortable and possibly taking prescribed pain relief medication (note: anti-inflammatory drugs are not recommended as they can interfere with the treatment's inflammatory process). Follow-Up Patients often see improvement after the first treatment. However, a follow-up appointment is typically scheduled six to eight weeks later to assess progress and decide if additional injections are needed. Some may require up to three injections for optimal results. By following these steps, PRP therapy utilizes the body's own healing mechanisms to address patella tendinosis, offering a significant improvement or complete recovery for many patients without the need for invasive surgery. ​ ​ ​ ​
