Foot & Ankle

If you're dealing with arch pain, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, or a sprained ankle, consulting an orthopedic dr. in South Jersey can help address your discomfort and improve your mobility. Foot and ankle issues can significantly impact daily activities, and prompt treatment is essential to prevent worsening conditions, such as permanent instability from a severe ankle sprain. At Advocare South Jersey Orthopedic Associates, care begins with nonsurgical treatments like physical therapy, rest, bracing, anti-inflammatory medications, custom orthotics, PRP therapy, stem cell therapy, or steroid injections. While these approaches often alleviate symptoms, minimally invasive surgical options are also available for more complex cases, ensuring comprehensive care tailored to your needs.

Hand & Wrist

Hand and wrist pain can result from various causes, including arthritis, fractures, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and ganglion cysts, with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis affecting the hands differently. Initial treatments often involve conservative methods such as bracing, casting (with Gore-Tex® waterproof padding), specialized exercises, habit modifications, corticosteroid injections, and regenerative medicine like stem cells and PRP therapy. While these approaches are effective for many conditions, severe or complex cases may require surgery, such as for chronic carpal tunnel syndrome, which may involve relieving pressure on the median nerve to prevent permanent damage. The orthopedic doctors at Advocare South Jersey Orthopedic Associates specialize in minimally invasive arthroscopic hand surgery, often performed as an outpatient procedure.

Arthritis

Arthritis damages joints and can take various forms, such as Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Post-Traumatic Arthritis, leading to symptoms like joint pain, swelling, limited movement, and muscle atrophy. Without treatment, severe arthritis may cause immobility, making early intervention crucial. The rthopedic doctors at Advocare South Jersey Orthopedic Associates offer innovative treatments tailored to the severity of joint damage, starting with physical therapy, activity modifications, and medications. For persistent pain and stiffness, regenerative medicine injections like stem cells, PRP, or hyaluronic acid can reduce inflammation and support healing. In cases of advanced joint wear where nonoperative methods fail, minimally invasive joint replacement surgeries, including knee, shoulder, or hip replacements, can restore function and relieve pain.
