Treatments and Conditions

• Regenerative Medicine with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet Rich Fribrin (PRF):
  Dr. Cantieri uses PRP therapy to accelerate healing by delivering concentrated growth factors directly to damaged tissues. This treatment is especially effective for TMJ dysfunction, jaw muscle pain, and post-surgical recovery, offering precise and targeted relief through ultrasound-guided injections.
• Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT):
  OMT is a hands-on approach to diagnosing and treating pain by restoring balance and mobility to the body’s musculoskeletal system. Dr. Cantieri employs OMT to alleviate craniofacial pain, TMJ issues, and other joint or muscle dysfunctions, focusing on long-term relief.
• Chronic Pain Management:
  With a focus on non-pharmaceutical solutions, Dr. Cantieri addresses chronic pain conditions, including myofascial pain, joint instability, and musculoskeletal discomfort. He emphasizes identifying and treating the underlying causes of pain rather than relying solely on symptom management.
• Prolotherapy:
  This regenerative treatment stimulates the body’s natural healing response by injecting dextrose-based solutions into weakened or damaged ligaments and joints. Prolotherapy is an effective option for patients with joint instability or chronic facial and jaw pain, providing stability and reducing pain over time.
• Pediatric Care:
  Dr. Cantieri provides specialized care for pediatric conditions such as chronic ear infections, asthma, and developmental issues linked to musculoskeletal imbalances. His gentle, holistic approach supports children’s growth, airway health, and overall well-being.
