After working in a traditional “one size fits all” orthopedic setting, Dr Jacob DiCesare saw a need for a patient-focused medical group that offered alternatives to surgery for common orthopedic problems. From that, DiCesare Orthopedic Medicine was created, and we now proudly serve the population of Western Pennsylvania utilizing regenerative medicine and other alternative treatment modalities.

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.

For those seeking tendinitis and bursitis treatment near Pittsburgh PA, you need look no further than DiCesare Orthopedic Medicine. We understand how painful and limiting this type of pain can be, and how many sufferers want to explore options outside of surgery. That’s why we provide gentle, alternative treatments tailored to each patient’s pain points, and try to understand the source of the pain itself so as to develop a long-term treatment plan.

Anyone who has suffered from tendonitis knows how painful this condition can be, and the prospect of getting tendonitis surgery can be daunting. Dr. Jacob DiCesare is proud to offer alternatives to surgery, including corticosteroid injections and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections.

Corticosteroids help to reduce inflammation and pain, and can be incredibly effective at treating tendonitis that has lasted up to three months. PRP injections are another effective tendonitis treatment that involves taking a sample of your own blood and spinning it to separate out the platelets. These platelets have healing properties, and are injected into the affected area to help generate healthy, new tissue. Dr. DiCesare may use musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound to help guide him towards the specific part of your body that is causing you pain, ensuring that the injection goes into the exact spot it needs to.

With three convenient locations in Greensburg, North Huntingdon, and Mount Pleasant, DiCesare Orthopedic Medicine is situated close enough to the Pittsburgh area to reach a broad scope of patients living in Western Pennsylvania.
