Non-Operative Consults

Not every joint or orthopedic concern requires surgery. Dr. Kofi offers comprehensive non-operative consults to evaluate your condition and create a personalized treatment plan focused on mobility, comfort, and long-term joint health. These visits may include guidance on targeted exercises, lifestyle adjustments, injections, bracing, or other conservative therapies designed to reduce pain and support healing.

Advanced Non-Surgical Orthopedic Care

Targeted Non-Surgical Orthopedic Solutions, Focused on Your Recovery

Surgery isn’t always the answer, and often, it isn’t the first step. Dr. Kofi begins with a non-operative consultation to assess your condition, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized plan tailored to your lifestyle. These consults are straightforward, collaborative conversations that help you understand your injury and explore the full range of conservative treatment options before surgery is even considered.

Our non-surgical approach may include therapies such as bracing, physical therapy, injections, or advanced biologic treatments like PRP. Each plan is tailored to your needs — whether you want to return to work quickly, stay active in sports, or move without pain in daily life.

Tailored Plans

Personalized Treatment Options

Not every injury needs surgery. Dr. Kofi focuses on evidence-based, non-operative treatments that help manage pain, improve function, and support healing. He will provide a personalized care plan to fit your lifestyle and recovery goals.

We focus on proven, non-surgical treatments to help you heal. Your plan may include:

Physical therapy & Rehabilitation

Guided exercises and techniques designed to restore strength, flexibility, and balance. Therapy helps you regain mobility, prevent reinjury, and return to your normal activities safely.

Cortisone

A powerful anti-inflammatory injection that reduces swelling and relieves pain in joints or soft tissues. Often used to treat tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, or sports-related injuries.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy

An advanced treatment that uses your own blood platelets, concentrated and injected into the injured area. PRP promotes natural tissue healing and may speed recovery for chronic or stubborn injuries.

Anti-inflammatory & pain relief medications

Medications that help manage pain and reduce inflammation, supporting comfort and mobility while your body heals. These may include over-the-counter or prescribed options.

Ergonomic adjustments & activity modifications

Simple changes to how you move, work, or train that reduce strain on injured areas. Adjustments can protect healing tissues, prevent flare-ups, and improve long-term outcomes.

Am I a candidate for non-surgical treatments?

Many orthopedic conditions can be successfully managed without surgery. If you’re dealing with pain, swelling, or mobility issues that interfere with daily life, you may be a strong candidate for non-surgical care.

Who should get it:

Patients with sprains, strains, tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, or mild fractures often benefit from non-operative treatment.

Who should avoid it:

Patients with severe, complex fractures or injuries that require surgical repair may not find non-surgical options effective alone.

Expectations:

A consultation with Dr. Kofi will confirm the best path forward —whether that’s therapy, bracing, injections, or other conservative options — so you can avoid unnecessary surgery whenever possible.
