Arthritis is far more than occasional joint discomfort—it’s a chronic condition that can influence every part of your daily life. From morning stiffness to difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or completing simple tasks, arthritis can quietly steal the mobility and joy people often take for granted. When pain becomes persistent, finding the right orthopedic specialist becomes crucial.
Specialized care makes a meaningful difference because arthritis is not a one-size-fits-all condition. The right diagnosis, treatment strategy, and expertise can determine how quickly you find relief—and how well your joints function years from now. Unfortunately, many patients spend years bouncing between providers, receiving only temporary relief, or being told to “just live with it.” Others feel overwhelmed by the number of specialists and unsure where to turn.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we believe arthritis deserves thoughtful, comprehensive attention. Our approach is holistic, minimally invasive, and drug-sparing, focused on long-term restoration rather than quick fixes. We combine advanced diagnostics, precise treatment, and compassionate care to help you move with confidence again.

Where is the pain truly coming from?

Arthritis treatment should never be limited to a single approach. The most effective care combines multiple therapies tailored to how your body moves, heals, and responds. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we build comprehensive treatment plans that prioritize long-term relief, natural healing, and restored function.
Physical Therapy
Strengthens supporting muscles, improves joint stability, enhances mobility, and reduces strain on affected joints.
Myofascial Release
Targets tight muscles and connective tissue to reduce pain, improve movement, and relieve compensatory tension.
Lifestyle Modifications
Recommendations for joint-friendly activities, posture improvements, and daily movement strategies to reduce stress on arthritic joints.
Weight Management Guidance
Losing even a small amount of weight can dramatically decrease load on weight-bearing joints, easing pain and slowing arthritis progression.
Short-Term Anti-Inflammatories
Help reduce swelling and stiffness during flare-ups.
Avoiding Long-Term Opioid Use
Opioids don’t fix arthritis and can create dependency. At Medici, we avoid chronic opioid use and focus on safer, more effective alternatives.
Medici’s Safe, Measured Approach
We make medication decisions based on your whole health picture—always prioritizing safety, clarity, and long-term well-being.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Uses your body’s platelets to promote healing in cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.
Prolotherapy
Stimulates collagen production to strengthen ligaments and stabilize painful, arthritic joints.
Corticosteroid Injections
Provide quick, temporary relief from swelling and pain.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Restore lubrication in arthritic joints, improving movement and reducing grinding sensations.
Image-Guided Precision
All injections at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine are performed with fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance to ensure accuracy and maximize safety.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Promotes tissue healing, reduces inflammation, and supports recovery in chronic joint conditions.
Neuromodulation for Chronic Pain
Gently interrupts pain signals from the nerves, particularly helpful for complex or long-standing arthritis pain.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Small-incision surgical approaches that reduce downtime and promote faster recovery.
Joint Resurfacing or Replacement
Used when joints have undergone advanced degeneration and need structural restoration.
When Surgery Becomes the Right Choice
Surgery is considered only when it aligns with your goals and offers a clear path toward significantly improved function.
We look beyond the painful joint to understand:
This ensures we treat the root cause—not just the symptoms.
We combine therapies like physical therapy, regenerative medicine, injections, and advanced technologies to create stronger, longer-lasting outcomes.
Healing should rely on your body’s ability to recover, not on long-term medications. Our approach minimizes unnecessary drugs and focuses on restorative care.
