CORE Orthopaedic Medical Center
About CORE Orthopaedic Medical Center
Located in Encinitas and Carlsbad, North County San Diego, CORE Orthopaedic Medical Center has been serving the community since 1978 as a board‑certified orthopedic practice focused on comprehensive musculoskeletal care. The center blends state‑of‑the‑art diagnostics with a full spectrum of surgical and non‑surgical treatments, positioning itself as a leading provider of regenerative orthopedics in the region. Core’s philosophy emphasizes minimally invasive, evidence‑based solutions that preserve joint function and reduce the need for joint replacement. The practice offers orthobiologics such as platelet‑rich plasma injections, Xiaflex collagenase therapy, and viscosupplementation to promote natural healing. In addition to regenerative medicine, CORE delivers sports medicine, athletic services, and a robust physical therapy program that integrates modalities like deep tissue laser, ultrasound, and active isolated stretching. The authority of CORE Orthopaedic is reinforced by its long history, a team of board‑certified orthopedic surgeons, and affiliations with leading professional societies including the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons. The multidisciplinary staff—physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, and hand therapists—work together to provide coordinated, high‑quality care for knee, hip, shoulder, hand, wrist, ankle, foot, and elbow conditions.
