Joint Pain
Chronic Joint Pain
Shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, elbow, wrist/hand, or SI joint—we help you find the cause of your pain and get back to what you love with a plan that fits your goals.
Stiff in the morning, loosening as the day goes on
Sharp twinges with certain movements (stairs, reaching, twisting)
Swelling, warmth, or a “click/catch” feeling
A joint that “gives way” or feels unstable
Pain after activity—or, more rarely, aching at night
Wear-and-tear changes (osteoarthritis)
Irritated tissues around the joint (tendons, bursae, ligaments)
Cartilage/labrum/meniscus issues that cause catching or locking
Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction causing low back/buttock pain
Inflammatory conditions (rheumatoid, psoriatic, gout/CPPD)
Less commonly: infection or referred pain from the spine
We focus on identifying the specific pain generator (the exact structure causing pain), not just the area that hurts.
Focused exam that maps pain to structure and motion
X-ray for bone/joint space; ultrasound for tendons/bursae; MRI when it changes next steps
Targeted diagnostic injections (numbing medicine) when needed to confirm the source
Labs when an inflammatory or crystal arthritis is suspected
Joint Pain Conditions We Treat
Rotator Cuff Tear
Shoulder pain/weakness with reaching or sleep. Rehab-first; imaging-guided options if needed.
Osteoarthritis
Wear-and-tear stiffness and ache. Movement therapy, medications, and targeted injections.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Pain
Low back/buttock pain near the dimples. Confirm by exam; relieve with guided care.
Arthritis
Inflammatory flares (rheumatoid, psoriatic, gout). Diagnosis plus medications and procedures to calm joints.
Meniscus Tear
Knee catching, swelling, or locking after a twist. PT-first, escalate only if needed.
Bursitis
Tender, warm swelling near a joint. Activity tweaks and, when helpful, ultrasound-guided injection.
