Medical evaluation and injection options in Fairlawn

Start with an evaluation

Our approach brings medical evaluation, injection options, rehabilitation and chiropractic care into the same conversation. A clinical conversation and examination help us understand your concerns, review relevant findings and decide what should happen next.

Read our patient care guide for common concerns and questions to ask.

Injection options

Cortisone and joint injections may be considered for selected joint and inflammation-related conditions after a medical evaluation. Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, uses a concentration of platelets from your own blood. Hyaluronic acid, sometimes called gel knee injections, may be considered for certain patients with knee osteoarthritis. Trigger-point injections are an option for selected painful muscle trigger points. Ultrasound guidance is available for selected procedures when the treating clinician determines it is appropriate.

An individual treatment decision

An injection is one possible part of a care plan. Ask which option is being recommended, why it may fit your condition, and what alternatives are available. Your clinician will discuss suitability, expected benefits, risks and alternatives; results vary.

Medical providers and chiropractic care

Medical and injection services are provided by appropriately licensed clinicians. Chiropractic care has a separate professional role within the coordinated plan. Contact the office to confirm the provider and services appropriate for your visit.

Questions before scheduling

Ask about provider availability, the information to bring, and the costs or coverage that may apply to your proposed evaluation or treatment. Services and provider availability should be confirmed with the office.
