Orthopedists offer nonsurgical therapies like joint injections, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and custom shoe inserts called orthotics. They may also use devices like braces, slings, casts, or splints to aid in healing and prescribe non-opioid medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, some orthopedists may offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, an investigational treatment.
