Joint preservation focuses on preventing joint damage with therapies that protect the existing healthy tissues, heal injured tissues, slow down progressive degeneration, and maintain optimal joint function.

When the team at Eagle Rock Medical Center analyzes the stress on your joints before needing surgery, they can take steps to alleviate joint pain and preserve the joint.

Though joint preservation refers to surgical and nonsurgical techniques, the team at Eagle Rock Medical Center specializes in nonsurgical therapies customized to your age, stage of joint damage, overall health, and activity goals.

The team at Eagle Rock Medical Center begins by reviewing your medical history, discussing your symptoms, and completing a physical examination. They use state-of-the-art technology to perform non-invasive assessments such as:

The team uses a combination of technologies and devices to fully evaluate your body’s alignment, posture, and gait and stresses on your joints and feet.

Malalignment in your musculoskeletal systems, poor posture, problems with the way you walk, and coordination problems all place excessive stress on your joints. Joint preservation depends on correcting these problems.

Using various technologies, the team evaluates the systems in your body responsible for balance. Normal balance and stability help maintain strong, healthy joints.

The treatment plan that best preserves your joint depends on your comprehensive physical and biomechanical assessments. Depending on the current health of your joints, the team at Eagle Rock Medical Center may recommend therapies such as:

  • Corrective biomechanics with orthotics and braces
  • Extracorporeal shockwave therapy
  • Laser therapy
  • Platelet-rich plasma injections
  • Stem cell therapy
  • Viscosupplementation
  • Corticosteroid injections
  • Physical therapy
  • Chiropractic care

If your joint pain persists after your nonsurgical treatment, you may need joint preservation surgery. The Eagle Rock Medical team includes highly skilled physicians who perform joint preservation surgery for problems in your foot and ankle.
