Integrative Sports and Spine provides advanced arthritis treatment in Long Beach, CA for patients dealing with joint pain, osteoarthritis, inflammatory joint conditions, and chronic arthritis that has not responded to general care. Our interventional approach combines precise diagnosis with targeted, image guided procedures designed to reduce inflammation, protect damaged joints, and restore the activity that arthritis has been slowly taking away.
Long Beach is a city built around movement. Residents walk the boardwalk, cycle the beach path, play volleyball at Belmont Shore, and stay active well into their sixties and seventies. For people with arthritis, joint pain can interfere with more than a single activity. It can limit the active lifestyle they have built and depend on.
Arthritis also affects Long Beach workers who cannot simply slow down. Healthcare workers stand for long shifts, port and logistics workers face demanding physical conditions, and commuters deal with stiffness from long hours in the car. Many patients are left wondering what can be done when imaging shows significant joint damage. The right interventional treatment, matched to the affected joint and stage of degeneration, may still offer meaningful relief when other treatments have not.
At our Long Beach clinic, we provide the diagnostic depth and the procedural range to find that approach for every patient we see.
Our Long Beach interventional physicians evaluate and treat the full range of arthritis and joint conditions affecting patients throughout the city and the surrounding communities, including:
Whether your arthritis is in one joint or several, whether it developed from years of activity, occupational demands, or an old injury, a comprehensive evaluation at our Long Beach clinic can identify what is specifically driving your joint pain and what targeted interventional options are most appropriate for your condition.

Joint changes are normal with age, but arthritis involves changes that cause pain, stiffness, limited function, or structural damage. Imaging alone does not always show how much pain someone has, which is why a clinical evaluation is important.
Many arthritic joints can be treated with image-guided injections, including the knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, wrist, spine, and sacroiliac joints. The right approach depends on the joint, severity, and type of arthritis.
Cortisone reduces inflammation and can provide faster pain relief. PRP uses your own platelets to support a gradual healing response and may take several weeks to work. Your physician can determine which option best fits your condition.
Current nonsurgical treatments cannot fully reverse cartilage loss from osteoarthritis. However, treatment can reduce pain and inflammation while improving movement and daily function.
Yes. Treatment can help reduce pain and inflammation so active patients can continue moving and exercising safely. Your treatment plan can be built around your activity goals.
In some cases, yes. Your physician will determine whether treating multiple joints during one visit is appropriate based on the procedures needed, joints involved, and your overall health.
Treated for knee osteoarthritis with viscosupplementation and PRP
"I had been walking the beach path every morning for twenty years, but arthritis in my knee and hip was taking that away. Cortisone shots elsewhere only helped for a few weeks. Here, my physician explained why viscosupplementation and PRP made sense for my arthritis and treated both joints together. Six months later, I am back to my morning walks. Not every day is perfect, but most days are good."
Treated for shoulder osteoarthritis with image-guided injection and RFA
"My shoulder arthritis had made reaching overhead and helping with patient transfers genuinely painful. Surgery was not realistic with my work and family schedule. The team started with an image-guided injection, then we discussed radiofrequency ablation when the relief began to wear off. The nerve procedure has kept me comfortable through a full year of full-duty work."
Treated for lumbar facet joint arthritis and hip osteoarthritis
"Two specialists told me my arthritis was too advanced for injections to help and that surgery was the practical option. I wanted a second opinion. The physician evaluated both problems separately and identified which structures were causing my pain. After lumbar facet RFA and a hip injection, I had more relief than I had experienced in four years. The imaging did not change. My pain did."
