He specializes in the treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal and athletic injuries, as well as spine related disorders. Dr. Gapinski has a passion for diagnostic ultrasound, he reviews real time imaging in the office with patients and helps find the root cause of your pain to implement the correct treatment plan. If injections are needed for pain, or to help promote tissue healing, he incorporates many different types of ultrasound-guided interventions to deliver the medication directly into the injured structure or pain generator. He incorporates the use of exciting new regenerative/orthobiologic treatments which help to not only minimize pain, but also influence the healing of an injured structure and to have you back onto the road of recovery faster.
