About Jefferey Michaelson, MD
The CORE Institute, founded in 2005, is a multi‑location orthopedic and spine practice serving Michigan and Arizona, dedicated to evidence‑based, multidisciplinary musculoskeletal care. Leveraging pioneering research, academics, and community service, the Institute delivers comprehensive treatment for bone health, joint disorders, sports injuries, and neurological conditions. Patients benefit from a full spectrum of services ranging from preventive bone health and physical therapy to advanced surgical options such as joint replacement, arthroscopy, and minimally invasive procedures. Cutting‑edge regenerative therapies—including platelet‑rich plasma, bone‑marrow, and adipose (Lipogems) cell injections—provide alternatives to traditional surgery for osteoarthritis, tendinitis, and cartilage damage. A team of fellowship‑trained physicians, surgeons, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and physical therapists collaborate to create personalized treatment plans for knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, foot & ankle, spine, and hand & wrist conditions. The practice also offers pain‑management, neurology, and sports‑medicine programs to address chronic pain, nerve disorders, and performance‑related injuries. Emphasizing minimally invasive techniques, robotic assistance, and comprehensive rehabilitation, The CORE Institute strives to restore mobility, reduce pain, and keep patients active, truly keeping life in motion.
