Pain and Injury Treatments
The physicians at Houston Spine and Sports Medicine are proud to offer the latest non-surgical treatments and procedures for sports injuries and chronic painful orthopedic conditions to encourage your body’s natural regenerative healing processes. After a thorough initial exam to gather facts about your condition(s), physicians will order appropriate further diagnostic testing as needed to best determine a specific treatment plan for you. The doctors are experts in using musculoskeletal ultrasound for diagnostics and guidance with advanced injection techniques. Some of the treatments the physicians may consider are:
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an emerging biologic tool in orthopedic and regenerative medicine. Platelets are rich in many different growth factors. These growth factors help attract other repair cells to the injured area. These repair cells stimulate the healing process. Click here to read more.
Prolotherapy, or Regenerative Injection Therapy, is a non-surgical treatment that heals ligaments, tendons, tissue tears, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. The injections promote collagen repair, which is a natural body protein necessary for the formation of new connective tissue – the tissue that holds our skeletal structure together.

Mesotherapy is a treatment that introduces microscopic quantities of homeopathic medications, vitamins, and minerals by injection through the skin, into the mesoderm. This helps to promote an immune response which begins the body’s healing process. Click here to read more.
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) is a powerful treatment tool for musculoskeletal problems that can be helpful in the rehabilitative process. Conditions that may be treated with IMS include: back and neck pain, chronic sinusitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis/golfer’s elbow, tension headaches, plantar fasciitis, shoulder and knee pain, and conditions resulting from overuse injuries and arthritis.
