The piriformis is a small but important muscle in the gluteal (buttock) area. It originates from sacrum(base of lumbar spine), exits the pelvis through the sciatic foramen and inserts on the greater trochanter of the femur(hip bone). The piriformis muscle functions to laterally rotate the hip. Piriformis syndrome is a condition in which the piriformis muscle irritates the traversing sciatic...

At the Centeno-Schultz Clinic we acknowledge the important of taking a history, performing a physical examination and reviewing radiographic studies. We appreciate that MRI's or x-rays alone rarely identify the source of pain. Many painful conditions such as facet dysfunction are not reliably detected on conventional radiographic studies. Some health care facilities have recently advertised PRP treatments...

The knee meniscus is a fibrocartilage structure that serves as shock absorbers between the thigh bone( femur) and shin bone(tibia). Injuries to the meniscus can cause knee pain and often are treated with surgery. Non surgical treatment options of knee meniscus injuries at the Centeno-Schultz Clinic include Regenexx SD, Regenexx AD, Regenexx SCP and Regenexx PL. Knee meniscectomy is an arthroscopic...

A Baker's cyst can cause knee pain. A Baker cyst is swelling caused by fluid from the knee-joint protruding to the back of the knee. A Baker's cyst is NOT a true cyst since the it has communication with the synovial sac. They are typically arise from degenerative changes or injury to the articular cartilage (arthritis) or meniscus. At the Centeno-Schultz Clinic we believe that baker's Cysts...

At the Centeno-Schultz Clinic we acknowledge that the hip is a complex joint and that pain may arise from many different sources which include dysfunctional muscles, stretched or partially torn ligaments, damaged or degenerative fibrocartilage and cartilage structures. The hip-joint is enveloped in ligaments which collectively compromise a capsule. Prolotherapy is an effective therapy...

Radiofrequency ablation is a treatment for neck, thoracic and back pain that is arising from the facet joint. The facet joint is a small cartilage lined joint in the spine that is susceptable to injury and can cause significant pain and restriction in range of motion. Small nerves within the facet joint transmit a pain signal from the joint to the brain. Radiofrequency ablation works by interrupting...

Sciatica is a debilitating searing pain in the lower extremity commonly as a result of nerve root irritation. Disc herniation, disc protrusion, overgrowth of the facet joint and thickening of the ligaments can result in nerve root compression or irritation. Non-surgical treatments to date have included x-ray guided epidural injections of local anesthetics and steroids. As discussed in previous...

The rotator cuff is compromised of 4 major muscles and tendons that act collectively to stabilize the shoulder joint. The four muscles include the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis and teres minor. Tendons are the fibrous portion of the muscle that anchors the muscle to bone. This fibrous anchor can be inflamed resulting in a tendinitis or can be chronically degenerative resulting...
