Non-Surgical Options for Joint and Soft Tissue Pain
At Holy Cross Health, we offer a range of advanced, non-surgical treatments designed to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing—without the need for invasive procedures. These options are especially helpful for patients managing arthritis, tendon injuries, or chronic joint discomfort.
Orthobiologic Treatments and Injections
- Cortisone Injections
Used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain in joints such as the knee. Ideal for conditions like arthritis or bursitis, cortisone can offer temporary relief and improve mobility. - Zilretta® Injections
An extended-release corticosteroid injection approved for osteoarthritis (OA) knee pain. Zilretta uses microsphere technology to slowly release medication into the joint, providing longer-lasting relief. - Hyaluronic Acid (Gel) Injections
These injections help cushion and lubricate the knee joint, especially for patients with osteoarthritis who haven’t responded to other conservative treatments. - Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to promote healing at the site of injury or pain. The injection is guided by ultrasound for precision and is often used for tendon, ligament, or joint issues. - Stem Cell Therapy
Mesenchymal stem cells may help repair damaged tissue in tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bone. This option is considered when conservative treatments have failed or to accelerate healing. - Lipogems® Therapy
A minimally invasive procedure that uses your body’s own fat tissue to support healing. Rich in stem cells and growth factors, Lipogems is used to treat musculoskeletal conditions and reduce inflammation. - Tenex® Procedure (Percutaneous Tenotomy/Fasciotomy)
A minimally invasive treatment for chronic tendon pain. Tenex uses ultrasound technology to remove damaged tissue and stimulate healing, often with faster recovery than traditional surgery.
