Sports Medicine
Sports Medicine at Orthopedics Unlimited: Michael Rieber, MD diagnoses and treats athletic injuries using advanced techniques. We serve professional teams and individual athletes with personalized recovery plans. Our approach combines conservative treatments and surgical expertise to restore performance and prevent future injuries.
Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic Surgery offers less invasive joint repair with smaller incisions and faster recovery. Our surgeons use real-time imaging to diagnose and treat conditions like rotator cuff tears and ACL injuries. This technique reduces scarring and postoperative discomfort while maintaining surgical precision.
Joint Replacement
Joint Replacement procedures address severe arthritis or joint damage using traditional and robotic-assisted techniques. We specialize in partial and total replacements for hips and knees, focusing on rapid recovery and long-term mobility improvement through customized implant placement.
ACL Surgery
ACL Surgery reconstructs torn anterior cruciate ligaments using grafts and arthroscopic techniques. Our approach emphasizes stability restoration and return to activity, with comprehensive rehabilitation plans tailored to athletes and active individuals recovering from knee injuries.
Alternative Treatments
Alternative Treatments include PRP therapy, stem cell injections, and regenerative medicine to avoid surgery. These options target tissue repair and inflammation reduction, offering effective pain relief for conditions like tendonitis and early-stage arthritis through minimally invasive methods.
