Services.

Drs. Grierson and Kadel are physicians (medical doctors) who provide comprehensive management of non-surgical musculoskeletal conditions.

Diagnosis and Realistic Treatment Plan

Research shows that most patients are interested in having both a diagnosis and realistic treatment plan. We reserve 60 minutes for every new patient evaluation. This allows time to thoroughly assess your condition, needs, and expectations and rule out any serious medical illnesses to develop a treatment plan. A clear understanding of your condition and limitations will help you and your physician to develop a treatment plan suited to your unique needs.

Diagnostic Ultrasound and Electrodiagnostic Studies (EMG/NCS)

Having diagnostic ultrasound services on site helps us provide a clear diagnosis for many conditions without all the time, money, or hassle of scheduling an MRI.

​Dr. Grierson carries the RMSK (Registered in Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound) certification and helps train the next generation of physicians in diagnostic musculoskeletal sonography at courses around the country.

Musculoskeletal Interventions

Dr. Grierson offers a range of injections for joints, tendons, ligaments, and nerve injuries. This may include newer techniques, such as hydrodissection and regenerative medicine approaches. During your appointment, your physician is happy to review the full spectrum of non-surgical musculoskeletal care with you. In cases where surgery is necessary, we can help you find a top notch surgeon to guide next steps.
