Non-Surgical Orthopedic Treatment
Whether they’ve broken a bone playing sports or have a chronic condition, our patients want to rest assured they can get treatment for their ailment without the need for surgery. When possible, our providers do their best to avoid surgical procedures. That’s why we’re proud to offer a variety of nonsurgical orthopedic treatments to patients of all ages.
Our nonsurgical orthopedic treatments range from casting to supplemental medication. We encourage you to read through our nonsurgical treatment options, so you can get a better feel for what you can expect during your private appointment with our board-certified orthopedic professionals. We also encourage you to browse through our patient education library to learn more about your condition.
An orthopedic brace is a medical device that helps stabilize the muscles, joints, and tendons at the location of your injury. By stabilizing and immobilizing your injury, we can ensure everything heals correctly. Trinity Adult and Pediatric Orthopedic Specialists provides orthopedic braces to men, women, and children who have endured injuries such as sprains, strains, dislocated joints, or broken bones.
Corticosteroid injections are medications that are injected into a joint or muscle that is causing the patient pain or discomfort. These steroids work to decrease inflammation in the treated areas and relieve our patients of their chronic discomfort. Patients may benefit from a corticosteroid shot if they’re suffering from tendonitis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, bursitis, or another inflammatory disease.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar in the body that interacts with water to provide the treated area with lubrication and padding. Patients who are suffering from osteoarthritis may benefit from hyaluronic acid injections to cushion and lubricate the joints. These injections not only lubricate the joints, but they also decrease inflammation in the treated areas, alleviating our patients’ discomfort.
Platelet-rich plasma, also known as PRP, is a portion of the blood that is rich in regenerative properties. Our providers will collect PRP from the patient by drawing a sample of blood and purifying the PRP using a centrifuge system. Patients who receive PRP therapy through Trinity Adult and Pediatric Orthopedic Specialists can benefit from decreased inflammation for the treatment of tennis elbow, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, and more.
Physical therapy and occupational therapy are often needed following an orthopedic surgery or after a patient has broken a bone. These therapies allow our patients to regain a full range of motion in their affected areas and maintain their lifestyle and independence following their injury.
For patients who wish to enhance their bone, joint, and muscle health with supplements, we suggest supplements by XYMOGEN®. XYMOGEN is one of the nation’s leading providers of nutritional supplements. Not only do XYMOGEN products provide high-quality results, but they also come with the support of the company’s long-standing functional medicine consulting team. To learn more about which XYMOGEN supplements are right for you, we encourage you to come in for a private appointment with one of our orthopedic experts.
Professional-grade supplements are often recommended to patients who wish to maintain a healthy lifestyle following their orthopedic treatment with us. These supplements help our patients live their lives comfortably with a full range of motion. Professional-grade supplements are available in the Trinity Adult and Pediatric Orthopedic Specialists office or online using the code TAPO.
