Treatments & care
Sports medicine, orthobiologics & joint care
Care is centered on joint preservation, particularly for shoulder and knee conditions. Imaging, office ultrasound and more than two decades of surgical experience help determine when a biologic is reasonable, when continued non-operative care is best, and when repair, restoration or reconstruction is needed.
Orthobiologics in Charleston & Mount Pleasant
PRP, bone marrow concentrate (BMAC) and microfat use material from your own body. These regenerative medicine options are not interchangeable or a guaranteed alternative to surgery. I review the evidence, risks, prior conservative treatment and your goals before considering an option. Focused shockwave is a separate, non-invasive treatment.
