You want less pain and more freedom to golf, hike, work out, and enjoy your life. If you are exploring nonsurgical options, start by finding out what fits your joint or tendon problem.
At LA Ortho & Wellness, Dr. Jonathan Gelber combines orthopedic surgery and regenerative treatment expertise to help you choose your next step.
The value is more than access to an injection. It is having an orthopedic surgeon determine what is causing your pain, which treatment fits the problem, and where it should be placed.
Dr. Gelber reviews your symptoms, examination, imaging, and what you have already tried. What you want to get back to doing helps guide the plan.
PRP, BMAC, and MFAT are prepared from your own blood, bone marrow, or fat tissue. They overlap in some uses, but they are not a sequence you need to work through. A more involved treatment is not automatically a better choice.
Microfragmented adipose tissue, prepared from a small amount of your own fat tissue.
If a regenerative treatment fits your diagnosis and goals, Dr. Gelber can explain why. If rehabilitation or surgery is likely to serve you better, he will tell you that too.
Treatment is only part of getting back to activity. Recovery, strength, and reassessment help guide what comes next.
Bring your questions, any available imaging, and the activities you want to return to. You can explore your options without committing to a procedure.
