A Physician-Led Approach to Joint and Spine Care
In practice since 1989, Dr. Deborah Westergaard brings deep image-guided procedural experience to individualized joint and spine care. Evaluation starts with the patient's symptoms, examination and imaging.
​
Ultrasound, X-ray and MRI are used as appropriate. Procedures use ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance according to the anatomy and procedure. Autologous options may include platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or bone marrow concentrate when clinically appropriate.
​
​Surgical consultation may still be appropriate for advanced disease or conditions better treated surgically.
