No need to run around from office to office.
At Performance, we offer the full continuum of orthopedic care under one roof.
Diagnostics
Performance Rehabilitation & Regenerative Medicine is committed to our vision of providing a comprehensive orthopedic facility. Part of that vision is providing our patients with the convenience of having all of their diagnostic testings performed on-site (except for MRI). We have invested in the most advanced digital x-ray and videofluoroscopic equipment, diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound, neurodiagnostic (EMG/NCV) testing, and JTECH functional assessment equipment. We also have phlebotomy capability and can coordinate processing with the lab of your choice. While we do not provide on-site MRI evaluation, we have relationships with several facilities in Central New Jersey that ensure timely appointments and diagnostic results.
Modalities
Performance is committed to investing in clinical innovation. This means that our physicians are in constant training to remain on the forefront of manual therapy techniques in orthopedics. Additionally, this is accomplished is by also providing with the most cutting edge orthopedic tools available to accompany superior manual therapy skills.
Physical Rehabilitation
At Performance Rehabilitation & Regenerative Medicine, Physical Rehabilitation is fundamentally different than any stand-alone clinic. All of our clinics have doctorate-level physicians that are integral components in our interdisciplinary team approach to non-surgical orthopedic treatment and is under the direct supervision of a medical physician, who has a specialty in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.
Pain Management
The primary goal of an interventional pain specialist is to reduce pain and/or inflammation through injection based procedures to the spine or extremity. Reduced pain levels will allow the patient to initiate physical therapy with less discomfort and ultimately return the patient to normal function and restore their quality of life. The vast majority of the interventional pain management procedures are performed in our state-of-the art medical procedural suite, which is fully equipped with video fluoroscopy and diagnostic ultrasound. We are affiliated with a local surgery center if patients wish to be sedated during a procedure.
Regenerative Medicine
We specialize in providing non-surgical alternatives to joint replacements and other orthopedic surgeries by utilizing Adult Stem Cell Therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy and Prolotherapy or a combination of these therapies based on each patient’s unique needs. This results in a safe, effective, and powerful treatment with the restoration of function and pain relief. Now patients have a new alternative to elective joint and back surgery.
Spinal Cord Stimulator
Performance Rehabilitation & Regenerative Medicine is proud to offer HFX Spinal Cord Stimulation Therapy. HFX™ therapy is an advanced Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) treatment for chronic back and leg pain. It’s FDA approved and clinically demonstrated to give people superior* relief of both back and leg pain relative to traditional SCS.
Spine Surgery
Spine surgery may be necessary when more conservative treatment methods are ineffective. Our highly regarded surgeons specialize in minimally invasive spine surgery utilizing state-of-the-art technology, advances in evidence-based medicine, and innovative treatment methods with the patient’s best interests in mind. Surgeries originally accomplished by traditional “open” methods are now completed through smaller, less painful incisions.
