Why We Are Different

-

As a private physician practice with a staff of allied health professionals, The Stone Clinic can ensure the highest quality of care with a custom team in the office, as well as in the operating room. We take into account the questions and the variables in the healing process to closely monitor your care every step of the way. We also encourage patients to bring their physical therapists, personal trainers, or treating physicians with them on their first visit.

Our perspective and approach is influenced by the research we conduct on an ongoing basis. This research includes pioneering work in cartilage regeneration and replacement, ligament repair and reconstruction, and surgical instrumentation.

We have found that most injuries can be treated without surgical intervention. Based on the diagnosis, Dr. Stone and the physical therapy team will implement a customized rehabilitation/training program designed to be performed at home or in the gym. Depending on the nature of the injury, exercise, braces, orthotics, medication, physical therapy, chiropractic care, or other modalities may be prescribed. The Stone Clinic has found that continuous passive motion (CPM), electrical stimulation, bone stimulation, and ice compression can also be helpful in speeding recovery.

If surgery is required, we focus on precise repair of the injured tissues and preservation and regeneration of the cartilage surfaces. Most operations are performed at an outpatient surgery facility.
