Dr. Bender offers a variety of innovative techniques to help alleviate your pain. First, he evaluates the specific cause of your pain to help determine the best course of treatment, and ultimately speed up your recovery.
Treatment options Dr. Bender may utilize to treat your joint pain include:
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) can help provide relief from joint pain by disrupting the communication between your nerves carrying pain signals and your brain.
Multiwave Locked System (MLS) Laser Therapy helps relieve pain and inflammation deep below your skin. This innovative technique features two different therapeutic wavelengths, one to help with inflammation and water retention and the other for pain relief.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections help heal your joints by using your body’s own blood platelets. Separated from the rest of the components in your blood, Dr. Bender then injects the platelets into your injured area to help regenerate healing cells to speed up your recovery time.
