Specialty MC offers a team of highly skilled specialists in various fields, including orthopedics, pain management, neurology, and physical therapy. Our experts collaborate to provide comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s needs.

An epidural is a common pain management procedure that involves injecting medication into the epidural space around the spinal cord. This helps alleviate pain by reducing inflammation and blocking nerve signals. At Specialty Medical Center, our skilled physicians perform epidurals to provide effective relief for conditions such as back pain and sciatica.

Facet blocks are minimally invasive injections that target the facet joints in the spine. By numbing these joints and reducing inflammation, facet blocks can provide significant relief from back pain. Our experienced providers at Specialty Medical Center perform facet blocks with precision and expertise to help patients regain mobility and improve their quality of life.

Steroid injections are commonly used to treat inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, and bursitis. At Specialty Medical Center, our skilled physicians administer steroid injections to target specific areas of pain and reduce inflammation, providing long-lasting relief for our patients.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing abilities to promote tissue repair and regeneration. By injecting concentrated platelets derived from the patient’s own blood into damaged tissues, PRP therapy stimulates the healing process and accelerates recovery. At Specialty Medical Center, our advanced PRP therapy techniques offer effective treatment for a variety of orthopedic conditions, including tendon injuries and osteoarthritis.

Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC) therapy is a regenerative treatment that utilizes the patient’s own bone marrow cells to promote tissue repair and regeneration. By extracting bone marrow from the patient’s hip and concentrating the cells in a centrifuge, BMC therapy provides a potent source of growth factors and stem cells for healing. At Specialty Medical Center, our experienced physicians use BMC therapy to effectively treat orthopedic conditions such as joint pain, tendon injuries, and cartilage damage.

Spinal disc herniation occurs when the soft inner core of a spinal disc protrudes through the tough outer layer, often causing pain and nerve compression. Treatment options for spinal disc herniation may include conservative measures such as physical therapy and medication, as well as more advanced interventions like epidural injections or surgical procedures. Our team at Specialty Medical Center offers personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs, with a focus on relieving pain and restoring function.

Sacroiliac joint pain can be diagnosed through a combination of physical examination, imaging studies, and diagnostic injections. Treatment options for sacroiliac joint pain may include physical therapy, medication, sacroiliac joint injections, or minimally invasive procedures such as radiofrequency ablation. At Specialty Medical Center, our multidisciplinary approach to care ensures that patients receive comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment for sacroiliac joint pain.

Nerve pain stimulation, also known as spinal cord stimulation, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses electrical impulses to block pain signals from reaching the brain. Candidates for nerve pain stimulation typically have chronic pain that has not responded to conservative treatments. At Specialty Medical Center, our experienced specialists evaluate each patient’s condition to determine if nerve pain stimulation is an appropriate option for pain management.

UCL (ulnar collateral ligament) surgery, commonly known as Tommy John surgery, is a procedure performed to repair a torn ligament in the elbow. The surgery involves reconstructing the damaged ligament using either a tendon graft from another part of the body or a donor tendon. At Specialty Medical Center, our skilled orthopedic surgeons specialize in UCL ligament surgery, helping athletes and individuals regain stability and function in the elbow joint.

Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, is managed at Specialty Medical Center through a combination of non-surgical and surgical treatments. Non-surgical options may include medication, physical therapy, injections, and lifestyle modifications to alleviate pain and improve function. In cases where conservative measures are ineffective, our orthopedic specialists may recommend surgical interventions such as joint replacement or arthroscopic procedures to restore mobility and quality of life.

At Specialty Medical Center, we specialize in treating a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon injuries, ankle sprains, and bunions. Our team of podiatrists and orthopedic surgeons utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques and evidence-based treatments to address foot and ankle pain, deformities, and injuries, helping patients regain mobility and live active lifestyles.

Non-union fractures, where a broken bone fails to heal properly, require specialized treatment to promote bone healing and fusion. At Specialty Medical Center, our orthopedic specialists may recommend non-surgical interventions such as immobilization, bone stimulation therapy, or minimally invasive procedures to stimulate bone growth. In cases where non-union persists despite conservative measures, surgical options such as bone grafting or fixation may be necessary to achieve successful healing.

Physical therapy plays a crucial role in rehabilitation at Specialty Medical Center, helping patients recover from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions. Our team of licensed physical therapists designs personalized exercise programs to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion, while also addressing pain and functional limitations. Through individualized care and hands-on techniques, we empower patients to achieve their rehabilitation goals and return to an active lifestyle.

Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), utilizes acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process and relieve pain. This non-invasive treatment is effective for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and calcific tendonitis by promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation. At Specialty Medical Center, our experienced providers offer shockwave therapy as part of our comprehensive approach to pain management, helping patients find relief and restore function without surgery.

Laser therapy, or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate tissue and stimulate cellular repair processes. This non-invasive treatment is beneficial for reducing pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with various musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis, tendonitis, and muscle strains. At Specialty Medical Center, our advanced laser therapy techniques offer a safe and effective option for pain management and tissue healing, helping patients recover faster and improve their quality of life.
