Get Started
As Kansas City’s preferred workers’ compensation orthopedic doctors, we deliver unparalleled services and treatments centered on your needs.
For Any Condition. For Every Body.
What We Treat
Treatment Options
Physical Therapy
Sometimes, the best treatment option for a workplace injury is a referral to a physical or occupational therapist to help regain range of motion, decrease pain, and increase strength in the affected area. Typically, the human body adapts and heals through movement, especially when guided by a trained musculoskeletal expert.
Prescription Medications
Your physician may recommend over-the-counter or prescription medications to reduce pain, muscle spasm, inflammation, and more. This will depend on your specific needs, symptoms, and other factors surrounding your condition.
Pain Injections
Injections directly into the affected area can help reduce pain. Based on your condition, response to treatment, and your physician’s recommendations, additional injections may be necessary. Kansas City Orthopedic Alliance offers ultrasound-guided injections to visualize the area of concern in real time and optimize your treatment’s effectiveness.
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine options, such as stem cell injections or platelet-rich plasma, can help repair worn or damaged tissue. This option works best if you are a younger patient with mild-to-moderate injuries.
Nerve Pathology and Management
Nerve injuries require unique approaches to assess the presence and extent of injury fully. Two common, and often complementary, ways we evaluate nerves are through electrodiagnostic studies (nerve conduction studies and electromyograms) and ultrasound.
Orthopedic Surgery
Our Kansas City Orthopedic Alliance physicians only make recommendations for surgical interventions when we have exhausted all other conservative measures, or it is apparent that the only available solution is surgery. This is always a collaborative decision. It’s important you feel empowered to make the best choice for you, with your goals and timelines in mind.
