Sports Medicine

The setback of a sports injury can be devastating. At Riverview Health Physicians Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, our goal is to get you back to your pre-injury condition as quickly and safely as possible.

The sports medicine physicians at Riverview Health are board-certified and specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of problems associated with bones, joints, muscles and nerves. Using a comprehensive team approach, our experts treat and assist with the rehabilitation of sports and exercise-related issues, and work with patients to prevent further injuries.

Platelet-rich Plasma Treatment

Joseph Hui, MD, specializes in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment to heal injuries, provide pain relief and restore function without surgery, therapy or medication. PRP treatment uses the body’s own growth factors (platelets) found in blood plasma to heal diseased or damaged tissues. The treatment is an office procedure that first requires drawing blood and then using a machine to isolate the blood platelets. Then, using ultrasound guidance, the platelets are injected back into the area that’s causing you pain. Most adults are good candidates for this treatment.

Cryoneurolysis for Knee Pain

Dr. Hui also specializes in cryoneurolysis, a non-surgical in-office procedure to treat knee pain. physician uses a special instrument to freeze nerve endings to prevent them from growing and, ultimately, dull or eliminate the sensation of knee pain. The procedure freezes two of the three main nerves that run to the knee—two of which control sensations, and the third controls motion. The nerve that controls motion is unaffected, meaning that patients won’t lose any mobility or experience weakness.
