  • Injury prevention - We work with athletes of all levels to prevent injuries through proper training and conditioning programs.
  • Degenerative Joint Disease - We offer a comprehensive program to help patients with degenerative joint diseases, like arthritis, manage their pain and improve their quality of life. We can help manage your pain with treatments like:
    • Joint injections - We offer a variety of joint injection medications to help relieve pain and inflammation, including corticosteroid injections, viscosupplementation (lubricating injections), and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections.
    • Trigger Point Therapy - If you’re looking for trigger point therapy near you, Epic Medical can help. Our physicians use injections of local anesthetics and/or steroids to relieve pain in specific areas of the body called “trigger points.”
