Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy utilizes your body's regenerative cells to repair damaged joints and tissues. This treatment helps avoid surgery by promoting natural healing of orthopedic injuries. Ideal for chronic joint pain and degenerative conditions, it offers long-term functional recovery without cortisone injections or pain medications.
PRP Therapy
PRP therapy concentrates healing platelets from your blood to accelerate tissue repair. Effective for tendon injuries and musculoskeletal conditions, it reduces inflammation and promotes recovery. This FDA-regulated treatment provides an alternative to traditional pain management approaches while supporting your body's natural healing processes.
Image-Guided Injections
Image-guided injections use ultrasound or fluoroscopy for exact treatment placement. This ensures maximum effectiveness while protecting surrounding tissues. The technique improves outcomes for joint, tendon, and nerve conditions by delivering regenerative agents with surgical precision in an outpatient setting.
Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine therapy addresses chronic pain and mental health conditions through intravenous administration. This alternative treatment modality helps patients who haven't responded to conventional therapies. Delivered in controlled clinical settings, it offers rapid relief for complex pain syndromes and mood disorders.
Stellate Ganglion Block
Stellate ganglion block targets sympathetic nerve pathways to treat chronic pain and PTSD. This minimally invasive procedure interrupts pain signals and resets neural patterns. Performed with imaging guidance, it provides targeted relief for conditions affecting the head, neck, and upper extremities.

I cannot praise Dr. Silva's knowledge and skill as a Dr. enough. To say he is a "miracle worker" is an understatment. I spent my younger years as an avid athlete and over a decade as a natural competitive body builder. Fast forward to middle age and the numerous accidents and sports injuries caught up to me and I have lived with chronic back pain and a shot knee for years now, with conventional dr.'s telling me back surgery and a knee replacement were my only options.
Friends who are also patients of Dr. Silva had referred me to him and strongly recommend I see him for stem cell treatment after

I recommend anyone wanting a different approach to body wellness vs. surgery to consider Dr. Silva. He is attentive to the whole person beyond his expertise in the procedure he was using for my spine. He and his staff are very kind and attentive to patient needs.

Report
Both my wife Julie and I were patients of Dr. Silva. Julie was dealing with some lower back pain for close to a year. After seeing a Physical Therapist, she was referred to two doctors. One was an Orthopedic surgeon and the other was Dr. Silva. The recommendation from the orthopedic Dr was to fuse several of her lower vertebrae. This was a major surgery that would require a lot of downtime for her and a lengthy recovery period. After a consultation with Dr. Silva, PRP was recommended as the alternative to spinal fusion. Julie went with the PRP treatment back in July. Two months later, she is pretty

I am also a local physician that offers regenerative injection therapies in the area. Dr. Silva is an amazing doc that I refer to for all things related to the spine, which is an area I do not treat. I also refer to him for second opinions when I have a complicated hip, knee, ankle, or shoulder case. I also brought my own mother to him after she had complications from a knee replacement. My mother said she "could feel his compassionate heart and how much he wanted to give me honest information, that would really help me". She is a great judge of character, so that is high praise. In her visit,
