Joint Preservation Treatments

Advanced, Minimally Invasive Solutions That Repair — Not Replace — Your Joints.

 

At The Joint Preservation Center, we believe your natural joints are worth saving.
Our fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons perform advanced arthroscopic, regenerative, and performance-accelerating treatments designed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and protect your joints for years to come.

Why Joint Preservation First

Too often, patients are told their only path forward is replacement surgery.
We see a better way.
Joint preservation means repairing and restoring your natural anatomy through minimally invasive surgery, biologic innovation, and precise rehabilitation.

 

This approach allows you to:

Maintain your natural motion, strength, and performance

Avoid or delay replacement surgery

Recover faster and with fewer complications

Protect your joints from early arthritis

At The Joint Preservation Center, we don’t just treat X-rays or MRI scans — we treat people. Every treatment plan is personalized, evidence-based, and designed to fit your lifestyle and long-term goals.

Our Comprehensive Approach

Every joint preservation journey begins with understanding the whole person.
Your first visit focuses on learning your story — your goals, activity level, and what matters most to you. From there, your surgeon develops a customized plan that prioritizes non-surgical options first and clearly explains when surgery might provide a better outcome.

Our 4-Step Process

1

Evaluate your condition using detailed imaging, motion analysis, and physical assessment.

2

Explore all non-surgical options, including physical therapy, biologics, and targeted injections.

3

If needed, repair or reconstruct your joint using minimally invasive, tissue-preserving techniques.

4

Rebuild and optimize your motion through guided recovery and advanced rehabilitation technology.

Minimally Invasive
Arthroscopic Surgery

Our surgeons are national leaders in arthroscopic surgery, a technique that uses a camera and specialized instruments through small incisions to visualize and treat joint injuries.

Benefits of Arthroscopy

  • Smaller incisions and less scarring
  • Lower infection risk
  • Faster, less painful recovery
  • More precise, tissue-sparing repairs

Arthroscopy can be used to treat a wide range of injuries and conditions across the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, ankle, wrist, and hand, including ligament tears, cartilage damage, impingement, and early arthritis.

Soft-Tissue Repair
and Reconstruction

Strong, stable connective tissue is essential for healthy joint function.
Our surgeons specialize in repairing and reconstructing the tendons, ligaments, and capsule that stabilize your joints — restoring natural movement and preventing long-term wear.

Common Procedures

  • Meniscus repair: preserving the natural shock absorber of the knee to prevent arthritis.
  • Ligament reconstruction: rebuilding stability after ACL, MCL, or UCL injuries.
  • Labral repair: restoring shoulder and hip stability for athletes and active adults.
  • Capsular tightening or release: correcting stiffness or looseness to restore balance and comfort.

By saving — not removing — critical tissue like cartilage, meniscus, or labrum, we help patients achieve better long-term outcomes.

Cartilage Restoration and
Regenerative Medicine

Cartilage acts as a smooth, protective cushion in every joint. Once damaged, it rarely heals on its own.
Our surgeons use innovative regenerative and biologic treatments to rebuild cartilage and protect your joint for the future.

Common Cartilage Treatments

  • Microfracture or marrow stimulation to trigger natural cartilage regrowth.
  • Cartilage grafting or cell-based implants to restore healthy joint surfaces.
  • Biologic injections (PRP, BMAC) to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair at the cellular level.

These biologic and surgical options are ideal for active adults and athletes who want to stay in motion and avoid premature joint replacement.

Realignment and
Stabilization Procedures

Not all joint pain is caused by tears — sometimes, it’s the result of mechanical imbalance or misalignment.
Our surgeons perform realignment and stabilization procedures to correct these issues, improving comfort, performance, and long-term joint health.

What These Procedures Address

  • Abnormal bone alignment or rotation
  • Chronic instability after injury
  • Uneven cartilage wear leading to early arthritis

By restoring the natural mechanics of the joint, we relieve pain and prevent further degeneration.

Accelerated Recovery &
Return-to-Play Protocols

For athletes and highly active adults, every week of recovery matters.
The Joint Preservation Center integrates performance-based technologies and advanced rehabilitation systems proven to shorten recovery and safely speed return to play.

Technology-Enhanced Recovery

  • 3D motion capture to track and measure movement pre- and post-surgery
  • Direct current electrical stimulation to enhance muscle activation and healing
  • Comprehensive prehab and rehab programs to restore strength, range of motion, and confidence

This evidence-driven model helps athletes and active adults safely regain peak performance in less time.

Manipulation and
Capsular Release for Stiff Joints

When joint stiffness or “frozen” motion limits your life or sport, our surgeons can restore movement through minimally invasive solutions.

Treatment Options

  • Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA): carefully freeing scar tissue while you’re under anesthesia.
  • Arthroscopic Capsular Release: releasing tight portions of the joint capsule through small incisions.

These procedures help restore flexibility, reduce pain, and improve comfort when physical therapy alone isn’t enough.

Biologic and
Regenerative Therapies

Our biologic treatments harness your body’s natural ability to heal and reduce inflammation.

Common Biologic Treatments

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): concentrated platelets that release growth factors to accelerate repair.
  • BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate): stem-cell-rich biologic used to regenerate cartilage and soft tissue.

These treatments can be used independently or as part of a surgical plan to improve recovery, function, and long-term joint health.

Outpatient Surgery and
Personalized Recovery

Nearly all procedures at The Joint Preservation Center are performed in state-of-the-art outpatient facilities, allowing you to return home the same day.

Recovery Experience

Your recovery is guided by personalized rehabilitation plans and monitored through OutcomeMD, a secure digital platform that tracks progress in pain relief, mobility, and quality of life for up to five years.

We also emphasize prehab before surgery and guided rehab after — ensuring each patient returns stronger, faster, and more confident.
