Still hurting after doing everything right?
Persistent pain deserves a closer look.
The right treatment starts with the right diagnosis.
Many patients arrive after physical therapy, medications, injections, or time have not fully solved the problem. The first visit focuses on what may still be driving the pain.
Browse by the area that hurts. If you're not sure which diagnosis fits — that's exactly what the first visit is for.
Spine & Back
Common causes of low back pain, neck pain, and sciatica — including arthritis, disc problems, and joint instability.
SI Joint Dysfunction
Chronic low back, hip, and buttock pain originating from the sacroiliac joint — a commonly underdiagnosed source.
Learn moreCervical Ligament Laxity
Chronic neck pain following injury or whiplash, often associated with headaches and cervicogenic dizziness.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Axial back or neck pain associated with disc degeneration where non-surgical management may be appropriate.
Shoulder
Common causes of shoulder pain — from rotator cuff and impingement to frozen shoulder and arthritis.
Rotator Cuff Tears (Partial)
Partial tears of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, or subscapularis, often associated with pain and reduced tolerance for overhead and reaching activities.
Learn moreCalcific Tendinitis
Calcium crystal deposits within the rotator cuff tendon — typically the supraspinatus — causing acute or chronic shoulder pain. Shockwave therapy is the primary evidence-based non-surgical option, producing measurable calcium resorption.
Learn moreShoulder Impingement
Shoulder pain with reaching and overhead movement, often involving the rotator cuff tendons and subacromial space.
Labral Tears
SLAP lesions and other labral injuries causing clicking, instability, and deep shoulder pain.
AC Joint Arthritis
Acromioclavicular joint degeneration causing localized pain at the top of the shoulder.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
Progressive capsular contraction causing painful, significant loss of shoulder motion in all directions.
Learn moreBiceps Tendinopathy
Biceps tendon degeneration at the shoulder causing anterior pain, worse with lifting and reaching.
Elbow, Wrist & Hand
Common causes of elbow, wrist, and hand pain — including tendon overuse, nerve compression, and thumb arthritis.
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Chronic lateral elbow pain from wrist extensor tendon overuse, common with repetitive gripping.
Learn moreGolfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
Medial elbow tendinopathy of the wrist flexor tendons, causing pain with gripping and wrist flexion.
Learn moreCarpal Tunnel Syndrome
Compression of the median nerve at the wrist causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.
Learn moreThumb Arthritis (CMC Joint)
Basilar thumb arthritis causing pain and weakness with pinching and gripping activities.
De Quervain's Tenosynovitis
Tendon inflammation on the thumb side of the wrist causing pain with grasping, pinching, and twisting.
Hip
Common causes of hip and buttock pain — from arthritis and bursitis to tendon and labral injuries.
Hip Osteoarthritis
Degenerative joint disease of the hip causing groin pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
Hip Labral Tears
Labral irritation or tearing that may contribute to clicking, catching, and deep groin pain. Treatment depends on joint health, mechanics, and imaging findings.
Gluteal Tendinopathy (Lateral Hip Pain)
Lateral hip pain at the greater trochanter from tendon overload — frequently presenting as what is commonly called trochanteric bursitis.
Learn morePiriformis Syndrome
Deep buttock pain and sciatica-like symptoms in the distribution of the sciatic nerve, without a clear lumbar source.
Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy
Sit-bone pain from hamstring tendon degeneration at its origin, worse with sitting, sprinting, or lunging.

That's exactly what an initial visit sorts out — pinpointing the source of your pain before any treatment is recommended.
Knee
Common causes of knee pain — including arthritis, meniscus tears, ligament sprains, and runner’s knee.
Knee Osteoarthritis
Degenerative joint disease of the knee causing pain, swelling, and stiffness with weight-bearing activities.
Learn moreMeniscus Tears

Diffuse kneecap pain aggravated by stairs, squatting, and prolonged sitting.
IT Band Syndrome
Outer knee friction pain from the iliotibial band, common in runners and cyclists.
Ankle & Foot
Common causes of ankle and foot pain — from sprains and Achilles problems to plantar fasciitis and heel pain.
Chronic Ankle Instability
Recurrent ankle sprains and giving way from ligament laxity, often following initial ankle injury.
Achilles Tendinopathy
Chronic Achilles tendon pain and thickening, common in runners. A structured loading program is the mainstay of treatment; regenerative options are considered case by case.
Plantar Fasciitis
Heel and arch pain from plantar fascia degeneration, typically worse with first steps in the morning.
Learn moreAnkle Osteoarthritis
Degenerative joint disease of the ankle causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Morton's Neuroma
Nerve thickening between the toes causing burning and the sensation of a pebble underfoot.
Systemic & Nerve
Nerve-related and whole-body pain — including nerve pain, headaches from the neck, and persistent post-surgical pain.

GET STARTED
Ready for a closer look at what may be driving your pain?
You are not signing up for a procedure. The first visit is a medical evaluation: history, exam, imaging review when relevant, and a clear recommendation — whether that is regenerative care, rehab, referral, or watchful waiting.
Initial visits may be billed through insurance depending on your plan and coverage.
