Nirschl Orthopaedic Center
About Nirschl Orthopaedic Center
Located in Arlington, Virginia, Nirschl Orthopaedic Center (NOC) has been a premier orthopedic and sports medicine practice since its founding in 1974 by Dr. Robert P. Nirschl. The center’s board‑certified physicians specialize in treating disorders of the hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, foot and ankle, offering both conservative and surgical options for a wide range of injuries and chronic conditions. NOC’s treatment philosophy emphasizes non‑surgical joint pain relief through advanced regenerative orthopedics. Patients benefit from platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) therapy, stem cell injections, and ultrasound‑guided hip injections, all designed to promote natural healing and reduce reliance on surgery. Complementary services such as custom orthotics, viscosupplementation, and targeted physical therapy programs ensure a comprehensive, personalized approach to recovery and return to sport. The practice’s authority is reinforced by its long history of excellence, multiple accolades as Top Doctors in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, and a dedicated fellowship program that trains the next generation of orthopedic surgeons. With state‑of‑the‑art surgical techniques—including hip arthroscopy, microvascular hand/wrist surgery, and rapid‑recovery joint replacements—NOC delivers cutting‑edge care while maintaining a compassionate, patient‑focused environment.
