NON-SURGICAL ORTHOPEDICS
Non-surgical orthopedics emphasizes the use of state-of-the-art technology,
combined with time-tested treatments, to help patients regain function,
decrease pain and return to an active lifestyle. Non-surgical alternatives can
often be effective treatments for:
Sports medicine is the field concerned with physical fitness and the
prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries sustained in sports or
exercise-related activities. This includes, but is not limited to, sprains,
strains and other soft tissue injuries, stress fractures, knee and ankle
injuries, shoulder impingement, and tennis or “Little Leaguer’s” elbow.
SPORTS MEDICINE
•
Chronic lower back pain
•
Head, neck & TMJ pain
•
Upper & lower extremity pain
•
On-the-job injuries
•
Auto accident pain

Sports injury
Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that provides pictures of muscles, ligaments,
tendons, nerves and other soft tissues in the joints. Ultrasound exams do not use radiation (x-
rays). The test is safe and painless and uses sound waves to produce the images. The ultrasound
images help Dr. Meccariello diagnose and treat various orthopedic conditions. During the test, a
gel is applied to the skin and a small hand-held device called a transducer glides over the skin to
send sound waves through the joint. The sound waves bounce off the soft tissues and return to
the transducer and a computer translates those sound waves into an image.
Often ultrasound can be used to diagnose pain or conditions that are difficult to diagnose with
other imaging techniques or tests. It allows for dynamic evaluation of the joints and soft tissues
and an interactive approach where the examiner can localize an area of pain in real time and
visualize the muscles and bones while the patient is moving to help make a diagnosis that may
have been otherwise missed.
Dr. Meccariello may use an ultrasound test to help diagnose and treat:
•
Tendon tears or tendinitis
•
Muscle tears
•
Masses or fluid that has collected in joints
•
Ligament sprains or tears
•
Inflammation with joints
•
Nerve entrapments
•
Soft tissue tumors and cysts
•
Hernias
•
Dislocations
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment for
joint injuries. It can be helpful for patients suffering from plantar fasciitis,
tennis elbow, and other types of chronic inflammation conditions. Rapid,
focused shockwaves are applied to the affected area for between 5 and 15
minutes. The procedure may be slightly uncomfortable, but it is not painful
for most patients. The Shockwave Therapy diminishes pain and discomfort
of injured joints and tissue while helping to speed up the recovery process.
Platelet-rich plasma with enhanced healing properties is extracted from the
patient’s blood and then injected directly into affected joints. PRP has a
success rate of 70-80% in alleviating discomfort and promoting healing in
tendon and muscle injuries with continued improvement over the next
several months after the treatment. Dr. Meccariello can help you jump start
your body’s healing process with PRP Therapy.
