Procedures in Naples, FL
If you're dealing with joint pain, tendon injuries, or musculoskeletal conditions in Naples, surgery isn't always your only option. Dr. Gregory Rubin specializes exclusively in nonsurgical orthopedic care — using advanced, ultrasound-guided procedures to treat pain and restore function without an operating room. Walk-ins welcome at both Naples locations.
Why Ultrasound-Guided Procedures Make a Difference
Many injections are performed blindly — the physician estimates where the needle should go based on anatomy. Dr. Rubin performs every procedure under live ultrasound guidance, meaning he can see exactly where the needle is in real time. This dramatically improves accuracy, reduces the risk of complications, and ensures the medication or biologic reaches the exact target.
• Greater precision — confirmed needle placement every time
• Better outcomes — medication delivered exactly where needed
• Less discomfort — faster, more efficient procedures
• Appropriate for joints, tendons, bursae, and soft tissue
Procedures Offered at Our Naples Clinic
Corticosteroid (Cortisone) Injections
Cortisone injections reduce inflammation quickly and are appropriate for many acute and subacute joint and soft tissue conditions. Delivered under ultrasound guidance at both Naples locations.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
PRP uses your own blood platelets to stimulate tissue repair. Dr. Rubin is an orthobiologics specialist who uses ultrasound guidance for every PRP procedure. Effective for tendon injuries, mild-to-moderate arthritis, and conditions that haven't responded to conventional treatment.
Viscosupplementation (Gel Injections)
Hyaluronic acid injections including Gel-One, Monovisc, Orthovisc, and Durolane are used to lubricate arthritic joints — particularly the knee. Single-series and multi-series options available. Insurance often covers these injections.
Peritendinous Saline & Fenestration
For chronic tendon conditions like calcific tendinitis or tendinopathy, needling and lavage techniques can break up calcium deposits and stimulate the healing response — often with dramatic results.
Ultrasound-Guided Diagnostic Imaging
Dynamic musculoskeletal ultrasound allows Dr. Rubin to assess tendons, joints, and ligaments in real time — identifying issues that static MRI may miss. This is an in-office, radiation-free diagnostic tool available same-day.
Bracing
When appropriate, Dr. Rubin recommends and fits bracing in-office to support recovery and prevent reinjury.
Concussion Testing & Management
Baseline neurocognitive testing and post-injury concussion management for athletes and active adults. Return-to-play guidance with documentation for coaches and trainers.
