Common treatment options
KCOA providers will first complete an evaluation, physical exam, and diagnostic tests to create the best treatment plan for you. This can include:
Physical therapy
Movement plays an important role in the body’s healing process. Physical therapy can improve range of motion, decrease pain, and increase strength and flexibility.
Prescription medications
Depending on your injury, your physician might recommend prescription or over-the-counter medications to ease pain and speed the recovery process.
Injections for pain
Sometimes, an injection into or near the affected site can help with pain. Our physicians use ultrasound to guide injections and optimize the treatment’s effectiveness.
Stem cell and PRP treatments
For some younger patients with mild to moderate injuries, stem cell injections or platelet-rich plasma can relieve pain or help repair damaged tissue. Our bone specialists can ask all the right questions to ensure you are a candidate for this cutting-edge treatment.
Orthopedic surgery
Whenever possible, we start with conservative treatments. However, if all non-surgical options are exhausted and you are still experiencing pain and/or limited function, we will guide you through your options for surgery.
