Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter (Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics and Sports Medicine) announces the clinic will stop performing intra-articular and extra-articular steroid injections, stating concern for patient joint health and offering orthobiologics (autologous blood or bone marrow–derived treatments) as safer, longer-term alternatives that provide local anti-inflammatory and healing effects.
Here at Pinnacle, Integrative Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. I've made the decision that we are no longer going to perform intra articular or 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. We very simply can take your blood or bone marrow, we can isolate out the parts of that blood or bone marrow that provide an anti inflammatory effect, can be locally healing to your tissues and are much safer to your joint health and use those to provide you with much longer term pain relief.
