A short video by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter announcing that Pinnacle Integrative Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine will stop using intra-articular and extra-articular steroid injections.

I don't think that it's good for our patients and we have very valuable and excellent alternatives to steroid medications. Here at Pinnacle, our focus is in orthobiologics treatment. This is the science of using your own tissue to heal you.
