Non-Surgical Orthopedic Solutions

What are my options for non-surgical orthopedic solutions? 

Non-surgical orthopedic solutions are therapies that address musculoskeletal pain, or pain in your muscles, bones, and joints. Using one or more of these strategies can help with healing and recovery after injuries or degeneration.

Here are a few examples of non-surgical orthopedic solutions at RISE.

Injections

Dr. Stilp carefully administers injections into joints or the spine to alleviate pain. There are multiple types, including steroid injections and regenerative medicine, to reduce pain and inflammation and support healing. 

Physical therapy and movement

Physical therapy can improve physical function after an injury or help you retain mobility if you have arthritis. Dr. Stilp helps you set and work toward goals with strategic movement. 

Red light therapy

Red light therapy, or low-level laser therapy, uses light-emitting diode (LED) lights to stimulate healing in your muscles. The light helps cells create more energy that they can use to repair themselves.  

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy exposes your muscles to freezing cold temperatures, either in a chamber or a cold bath. The process decreases inflammation and leads to more effective healing and recovery. 

Immobilization

Immobilization can prepare injuries for further treatment by stopping them from getting worse. You might need to immobilize an injured joint with a cast, brace, or boot.

What can non-surgical orthopedic solutions treat? 

Along with home care, non-surgical orthopedic solutions can treat a wide range of injuries affecting muscles, bones, and joints. They can also treat some degenerative conditions affecting the spine or joints.

Dr. Stilp can recommend non-surgical orthopedic solutions to treat:

• Arthritis
• Joint dislocations
• Disc problems in the spine
• Sprains
• Strains
• Tendinitis
• Sports injuries

These conditions and injuries tend to cause pain and can limit your mobility, keeping you from being as active as you typically are. Non-surgical orthopedic solutions can reduce pain and swelling while helping you return to your usual activity level.  

Can non-surgical orthopedic solutions help me avoid surgery?

Surgery can be time-consuming and invasive, and the results aren’t always predictable. Many orthopedic surgeries have long recovery times, so it’s no surprise that people want to avoid surgery when possible.

Fortunately, non-surgical orthopedic solutions may be all the treatment you need. Many people with mild to moderate injuries or pain can avoid or delay surgery by closely following a non-surgical orthopedic treatment plan from a board-certified provider.
