About Jernigan Orthopedics and Ortho Biologics
Jernigan Orthopedics and Orthobiologics, led by board‑certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. W. Clark Jernigan, MD, delivers comprehensive musculoskeletal care to patients in Greenville, South Carolina and the surrounding Upstate region. The practice blends decades of surgical expertise with cutting‑edge regenerative medicine, offering personalized treatment plans that address everything from acute injuries to chronic joint degeneration. By integrating advanced imaging, precise diagnostic exams, and a patient‑first philosophy, the team ensures each individual receives a clear explanation of their condition and the most effective therapeutic options. The core of the practice’s regenerative approach is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, a biologic injection that harnesses the patient’s own platelets to accelerate healing of tendons, ligaments, and arthritic joints. PRP is employed for a wide range of conditions including knee osteoarthritis, shoulder rotator cuff tendinopathy, elbow tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and hip bursitis. The procedure is performed in a sterile closed‑system environment, guided by ultrasound to guarantee accurate placement, and is complemented by evidence‑based adjuncts such as physical therapy, activity modification, and medication management. Beyond biologic treatments, Jernigan Orthopedics provides a full spectrum of orthopedic services. These include non‑operative care like splinting, home exercise programs, and medication regimens, as well as surgical interventions such as shoulder hemiarthroplasty, arthroscopic repairs, and fracture stabilization with immobilization techniques. The practice’s small, dedicated staff—comprised of a physician, a practice manager, and an administrative assistant—ensures continuity of care, allowing patients to see the surgeon at every visit and benefit from consistent, compassionate guidance throughout their recovery.
