Specialties And Services
At the Los Angles Orthopedic Institute, our Fellowship trained physicians to provide the highest levels of surgical and non-surgical care in a warm, friendly, private practice environment. Treatment begins with a thorough evaluation and diagnosis of the condition, followed by the development of an individualized, non-surgical treatment regimen. Nearly all of Los Angeles Orthopedic Institute’s patients are appropriate for initial non-surgical treatment. Our non-surgical treatment regimen includes:
- Specific strengthening and conditioning exercises supervised by physician assistants Nikki Sisto, PA-C and Allie Skow, PA-C.
- Nutritional supplements including glucosamine and chondroitin
- Anti-inflammatory medications with an emphasis on avoiding side effects
- Nutritional and weight loss counseling
- Ultrasound-guided joint lubricating injections
- Hot and cold Contrast Therapy
- Bracing, including the custom-made unloader knee brace
If surgery is required, minimally invasive surgery is the first choice, when possible. Our growing list of minimally invasive surgical offerings includes:
- Partial joint arthroplasty
- ACL reconstruction
- Repair and restoration of the meniscus
- Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery
