A local orthopedic and sports medicine practice in Fairfax, VA
OrthoFairfax serves patients seeking orthopedic and sports medicine evaluation in Fairfax and surrounding Northern Virginia communities. Whether knee arthritis makes walking difficult, shoulder pain limits exercise, a tendon injury disrupts sport, or back and joint symptoms interfere with daily life, the first step is to understand the cause and build a plan around the patient's needs.
Our approach brings together a detailed history, focused physical examination, and musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound when clinically useful. We discuss appropriate treatment options in plain language, including benefits, limitations, risks, alternatives, and expected costs. We aim to help patients make informed decisions rather than offer the same treatment to everyone.
MSK ultrasound and ultrasound-guided care
Musculoskeletal ultrasound provides real-time assessment of many accessible tendons, muscles, ligaments, bursae, and other soft tissues. It can complement the physical examination and help answer focused questions about a painful area. When appropriate, ultrasound guidance can help visualize anatomy and needle placement during selected injections. Other imaging is still needed for some conditions, and the clinician chooses the right approach based on the clinical question.
Orthopedic conditions and sports injuries
Patients may contact an orthopedic practice for knee and hip arthritis, shoulder and elbow pain, hand and wrist symptoms, foot and ankle injuries, Achilles tendon problems, tendon and muscle conditions, or neck and back pain. Active adults and recreational athletes may need help with overuse injuries, a sudden sports injury, or a safe return-to-activity plan. Older adults may be looking for ways to preserve mobility and independence. Care starts with a diagnosis, not an assumption.
Non-surgical treatment options, tailored to the problem
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment discussions can include activity changes, rehabilitation and strengthening, medications when appropriate, MSK ultrasound, ultrasound-guided injections, and selected procedures such as PRP or other injection approaches. PRP is not right for every condition, and evidence varies. Steroid, gel, and PRP injections have different uses and limitations. We explain those differences so patients can weigh options realistically. When surgery or another specialist is the better path, that should be part of the discussion too.
