Osteoarthritis & Arthritis

The Top Greensburg, PA Osteoarthritis & Arthritis Specialist

For the last ten years, Dr. Jacob DiCesare has compassionately served the population of Western Pennsylvania in an orthopedic capacity. Seeing a need for non-operative orthopedic care, he started DiCesare Orthopedic Medicine in 2020, where he and his dedicated team offer personalized, alternative treatments for patients of all backgrounds

At DiCesare Orthopedic Medicine, we first perform thorough orthopedic examinations, taking into account your medical history, past surgeries, current lifestyle and occupation, and future health-related goals. Then, we develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your injury, and make recommendations on ways to continue your healing at-home through lifestyle adjustments.

Our ongoing mission at DiCesare Orthopedic Medicine is to provide patient-focused care that avoids surgical intervention. Having worked in traditional orthopedic settings, Dr. Jacob DiCesare saw a need for orthopedic care that didn’t treat patients like a number, or automatically resort to surgery for every injury and illness. Our practice utilizes the power of regenerative medicine and hands-on treatment methods to help restore our patients to their active lifestyles. When you are a patient at our practice, you are treated like family.

Hip Osteoarthritis Treatment in Mount Pleasant & North Huntingdon, PA

Dr. Jacob DiCesare is uniquely experienced in treating patients that are suffering with hip pain. Whether your hip pain is due to osteoarthritis or a recent fall, it can be extremely painful and difficult to walk, and patients want relief fast. Some patients’ pain is so acute, they actually fear that their hip is dislocated.

Dr. DiCesare offers both corticosteroid injections and osteopathic manipulation to safely yet effectively treat hip pain. Corticosteroid injections are powerful anti-inflammatory medicines, although they are not always necessary to relieve osteoarthritis hip pain.

Osteopathic manipulation involves moving a patient's muscles and joints using techniques such as stretching, gentle pressure and resistance, and is Dr. DiCesare’s preferred method of relieving hip pain. In simple terms, the doctor can perform joint manipulation to restore range of motion to a joint. The hip can actually be moved a very short distance to restore its range of motion with a quick thrust to the joint itself. Oftentimes, a popping sound is felt and heard. This is because the joint has a surrounding capsule that contains air, and like bubble wrap, when the capsule is compressed, air expels and creates the “pop.” This provides instant relief for patients, and enables them to walk and move around normally once again without the need for injections or medication.
