Conservative Management

Before any operation is considered, we work through every reasonable non-surgical option — pain management, injections, physical therapy, and nutrition — so surgery is only ever the right answer, never the easy one.

What we treat

Our "Non-Surgical First" philosophy

Pain Management & Injections

Corticosteroid injections, epidural steroid injections, and nerve blocks to reduce pain and inflammation while the underlying issue is addressed.

Viscosupplementation & PRP

Hyaluronic acid (viscosupplementation) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections that support joint lubrication and the body's own healing response — often delaying or avoiding surgery.

Physical Therapy

Movement-based rehabilitation through Movement Lab, addressing strength, mobility, and the movement patterns that contribute to pain.

Nutritional Optimization

Anti-inflammatory dietary guidance through Peak Nutrition, supporting recovery and long-term joint health from the inside.

Bracing & Lifestyle Modification

Off-the-shelf and custom bracing, activity modification, and ergonomic guidance to reduce strain on the affected area.
