These conditions are largely made up of acute muscle strains, overuse tendon injuries, and arthritis related joint pain. These injuries are painful, limit movement and quality of life, while potentially causing lasting damage to the structural integrity of your tendons, joints, and muscles. Key symptoms of chronic tendon and joint pain: · Dull, achy pain at rest and inability to get comfortable · Pain which increases during and after activity · Taking pain medication just to make it through the day Why traditional treatments often fall short: Until recently, physical therapy and/or cortisone injections were considered the go-to conservative approach to treat tendon and joint pain. Unfortunately, this route often falls short as it does not combat tendon degeneration and focuses on pain reduction rather than stimulating healing at the source. At Performance Ortho, we take an innovative and comprehensive approach to your care. From the very first visit, you are partnered with a dedicated team of orthopedic specialists, including board-certified surgeons, physicians, and rehabilitation experts. Working together in one facility, our collaborative team delivers a personalized care plan to restore your mobility, relieve your pain, and help you return to the activities you love. Introducing Focused Shock Wave Therapy: Performance Ortho’s most recent addition for healing patients without surgery is non-invasive Focused Shock Wave Therapy. This groundbreaking technology is an FDA-Cleared treatment that delivers high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate stem cells and other natural healing factors to injured tissue. The shockwave is a physical sound wave, not an electrical one, used to deliver energy through damaged tissue, increasing blood flow in injured soft tissue, ligaments, joints, and tendons. Focused Shockwave Therapy is administered 1-2 times per week over 4-6 weeks. Many patients report immediate post-treatment reduction of pain as well as improved range of motion and return to function. Often, Focused Shockwave Therapy is combined with other innovative regenerative interventions like stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or prolotherapy to provide a more comprehensive and lasting approach to chronic conditions. Dr. Mejia explains, “One of the most rewarding aspects of Focused Shockwave Therapy is how quickly patients experience improvements in both pain and mobility. By integrating this therapy into our individualized care model, patients not only achieve faster relief but also lasting improvement in function. From chronic tendon injuries to arthritis, and plantar fasciitis to shoulder pain, Focused Shockwave Therapy is a versatile, non-surgical solution that aligns perfectly with our treatment philosophy to avoid surgery whenever possible.” Benefits of Shockwave Therapy: · Short treatment time · Precise & targeted application · Non-invasive, no adverse effects · Deep tissue treatment · No medication · Covered by Medicare Next Steps: At Performance Ortho, we specialize in non-surgical, evidence-based treatments that change lives.
