Based in Charlotte and Huntersville, NC, this practice specializes in non-surgical orthopedics, treating joint, spine, and soft tissue conditions such as arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, disc herniations, and facet joint degeneration. Care is led by board-certified Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation physicians Dr. Usman Ahmad and Dr. David Ciaccia, both fellowship-trained in interventional sports and spine medicine, with Dr. Ahmad having performed more than 30,000 procedures.
Treatments offered include stem cell therapy using adipose- or bone marrow-derived cells, high-concentration platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, shockwave therapy (ESWT) for tendon conditions and plantar fasciitis, nerve hydrodissection to release trapped nerves, and fluoroscopic spinal procedures for disc and facet injections. Electrodiagnostic testing (EMG/NCS) is also available to evaluate nerve and muscle disorders. Common areas treated include the knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, neck, lower back, and foot and ankle.
Every injection-based treatment is performed under real-time image guidance, using ultrasound for soft tissue targets and fluoroscopy for deeper structures like the spine. Treatment plans are built around a hands-on physical examination rather than imaging or a phone consultation alone, and the practice offers a free consultation to determine candidacy before any treatment is recommended.
