Non-Surgical Orthopedics – What is it?
June 4, 2021
As you may know by now, we have updated our business name to Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics as a more accurate reflection of what we offer our patients and to clarify the services we provide. While we continue to use our integrated approach to healthcare, you may be wondering, what does the new term non-surgical orthopedics mean?
While injuries to your bones, muscles, and joints can be complicated, most often common injuries can be treated without the use of surgery. The Team at Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics utilizes a wide range of non-invasive treatment options to help heal damage to the musculoskeletal system which help you to avoid surgery. Although it may not be an option for some particularly difficult injuries or deformities, many patients will find great success in non-surgical orthopedics as the first option before turning to surgery as a last resort.
Clinical Exercise
One of the most prevalent forms of non-surgical orthopedics is physical therapy and rehabilitation. In this treatment, mobility is slowly regained by gradually strengthening muscles and joints around the injured area(s). In many cases, physical therapy is prescribed after a surgery is performed, though it is often a primary treatment option for many orthopedic needs. Dr. Jeff Hall, DC is specially trained to develop and implement programs that match your individual needs, taking into consideration your overall health, physical ability, and diagnosis when treating you.
Regenerative Medicine
One of the most powerful methods of regenerative medicine due to your body’s own natural ability to heal itself. PRP, Platelet Rich Plasma, can be injected into injured tissue to promote healing. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is also a procedure that is continually gaining notoriety. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections are used to repair damaged joints, ligaments and tendons. Although it is only a portion of our regenerative medicine options, PRP is a relatively simple procedure that results in pain reduction and promotes healing with little to no down time.
