When your back or neck problem is severe enough and has not responded to conservative measures, your doctor may recommend a spinal injection. Spinal injections are used in two ways: • To diagnose the source of back, leg, neck, or arm pain (diagnostic). • As a treatment to relieve pain (therapeutic). Most spinal injections are performed as one part of a more comprehensive treatment program. Simultaneous treatment nearly always includes an exercise program to improve or maintain spinal mobility (stretching exercises) and stability (strengthening exercises). Spinal injections are performed under X-ray guidance, called fluoroscopy, to confirm correct placement of the medication and improve safety.

“So happy to have found Dr. Pandarinath. My first visit with him was very reassuring and he gave me a clear picture of my next steps and options. His office quickly helped to set me up to get required MRI and schedule the follow up visit. This is how easy it is to work with pros who know what they are doing!” ~Patient review (June ‘24) Aligned Orthopedic Partners - Tysons 571-899-3590 8401 Greensboro Dr., Ste 120 McLean, VA 22102 https://lnkd.in/eXd6qqKU #orthopedics #sportsmedicine #orthopedicsurgery

Hip pain among athletes is more common than you might think! 🏃♀️ Whether you’re a runner, soccer player, or weightlifter, here are some key causes to watch out for: 1️⃣ Overuse Injuries: Too much training without enough recovery can lead to inflammation and pain in the hip joints. 2️⃣ Muscle Strains: Pulling or straining muscles around the hip, like the hip flexors or adductors, can cause discomfort. 3️⃣ Labral Tears: Athletes involved in repetitive twisting motions (e.g., gymnasts, hockey players) may experience tears in the hip labrum, leading to pain. 5️⃣ Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs) around the hip joint can result from repetitive motion or direct trauma. 🔍 If you’re experiencing hip pain, it’s essential to get it checked out early to prevent further complications. Listen to your body and consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. Your health and performance matter! 💪 Aligned Orthopedic Partners - Tysons 571-899-3590 8401 Greensboro Dr., Ste 120 McLean, VA 22102 https://lnkd.in/eXd6qqKU #orthopedics #sportsmedicine #orthopedicsurgery #AthleteHealth #HipPainAwareness #StayStrong

Experiencing rotator cuff tear?
Shoulder pain that originates in the front and extends down the arm is a common issue, particularly during movements like lifting or reaching overhead. Discomfort may intensify when attempting to sleep on the affected side, coupled with arm weakness and challenges in activities like combing hair or reaching backwards. An acute tear accompanied by injury may result in sudden pain, a snapping feeling, and immediate arm weakness. Scheduling an appointment with one of our orthopedic surgeons is advisable for individuals experiencing shoulder injuries or persistent shoulder and arm discomfort.

“I recently visited Dr. Marc Gruner at the Washington Sports Medicine Institute for a PRP injection in my knee, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care I received. Dr. Gruner and his staff were exceptional, ensuring my comfort throughout the procedure and taking the time to address all my questions and concerns. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I felt well taken care of. Dr. Gruner’s expertise and caring nature were evident, making me feel confident and at ease. He thoroughly explained the procedure and provided clear aftercare instructions, ensuring I understood every aspect of my treatment and recovery. The professionalism and compassion displayed by Dr. Gruner and his staff were truly impressive. Their dedication to patient care is unmatched, and it made a significant difference in my overall experience. If you’re considering Orthobiologics or any other sports medicine treatment, I highly recommend Dr. Marc Gruner. He is a wonderful physician who genuinely cares about his patients and delivers outstanding care.” ~Patient Review (June ‘24) Aligned Orthopedic Partners - Tysons 571-899-3590 8401 Greensboro Dr., Ste 120 McLean, VA 22102 https://lnkd.in/eXd6qqKU #orthopedics #sportsmedicine #orthopedicsurgery #prpinjections

Proper footwear is VIP!
Proper footwear can help prevent injuries to your ankles, such as sprains, strains, and fractures, by providing support for your arches, heels, and ankles. When choosing shoes, you can consider things like: Arch support: Shoes with low arches or no arch at all can cause your ankle to turn inward, which can lead to ankle pain. Comfort: Shoes that fit well can promote healthy circulation and comfort. Stability: Shoes with added ankle padding or a high-top design can help stabilize the ankle joint and reduce the risk of sprains and strains. Soles: Shoes with shock-absorbing soles can help maintain foot and ankle health. Non-slip: Non-slip soles can help maintain foot and ankle health.

Dr. Davis did arthroscopic surgery and placed biocartilage in my knee to grow where I had lost cartilage, which was a new technique at the time. 8 years later and I’m still going strong and have had ZERO issues or reasons to see a doctor. He’s always on top of the latest techniques and is friendly, communicative and a great person to work with. Don’t think twice about working with Dr. Davis!” ~Patient Review (April ‘24) Washington Sports Medicine Institute 571-899-3590 8401 Greensboro Dr., Ste 120 McLean, VA 22102 https://lnkd.in/esVywK7R #orthopedics #orthopedicsurgeons #orthopedicsurgeon #orthopedicsurgery
