Our Sports Medicine Services

  • Dr. Lee uses real-time diagnostic ultrasound to visualize joints, tendons, and soft tissue structures before and during injections - ensuring precise placement and better outcomes. Cortisone injections reduce inflammation quickly; PRP injections use your body's own platelets to promote longer-term healing.

    Great for those experiencing:

    • Joint pain and arthritis

    • Tendinopathy and tendon tears

    • Bursitis

    • Rotator cuff injuries

    • Knee and hip pain

  • PRP therapy concentrates the growth factors in your own blood to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation, without surgery or synthetic medications. Dr. Lee uses PRP to treat a range of musculoskeletal injuries where the body needs a biological boost to heal fully.

    Great for those experiencing:

    • Chronic tendon injuries

    • Partial ligament tears

    • Knee and hip osteoarthritis

    • Muscle strains that are not healing

    • Post-surgical recovery support

  • PRP gel combines the regenerative properties of platelet-rich plasma with a lubricating agent to reduce friction, restore cushioning, and relieve pain in arthritic or stiff joints. It offers longer-lasting relief than cortisone alone, with the added benefit of stimulating tissue repair.

    Great for those experiencing:

    • Knee pain

    • Hip pain

    • Shoulder pain

  • As an osteopathic physician, Dr. Lee incorporates hands-on manipulation into sports medicine care when appropriate. OMT restores joint mechanics, reduces muscle tension, and supports recovery from injury, often as a complement to injection therapy or a standalone treatment for musculoskeletal pain.

    Great for those experiencing:

    • Post-injury recovery

    • Back and neck pain

    • Sports-related muscle tension

    • Headaches and jaw pain
