The shoulder is a very complex part of the body-a combination of several joints, tendons, and muscles that allow you to move your arm in just about every direction. When just one component of the shoulder isn't working properly, it can result in pain and dysfunction. Your shoulder is made up of three bones: the humerus (arm bone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the clavicle (collarbone). These three bones, which are connected by cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and muscles create the ball and socket joint of the shoulder.
Your hip joint makes it possible for you to stand up, sit down, walk, run, and jump. It's also one of the primary weight-bearing joints in the body. Because the hip is such a highly used joint in the body, it can be prone to injury especially as we age. Over time, a variety of factors, including injuries, degenerative disease, and other genetic and environmental causes, can ultimately lead to hip pain.
Your knee is the largest joint in the body made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. In addition to being complex in design, it is vulnerable to a number of injuries. Many knee injuries can be successfully treated with simple measures, such as bracing and physical therapy. Other injuries, however, may require surgery.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a relatively new orthopedic treatment that harnesses the body's natural ability to heal itself - specifically, the ability to regenerate bone and soft tissue. This is done by using blood platelets, which are substances that naturally occur in our own bodies. Through PRP therapy, doctors are able to bring healing platelets to an injury site faster and in greater numbers.

I can't say enough about how great Dr. John Sparks, Kenneth, and the rest of the staff are there. Being treated as a real person vs. an insurance claim or a number makes a HUGE difference. The first time visiting Dr. Sparks with numbness in my arm, my GP thought it was my shoulder so he sent me to see Dr. Sparks. Dr. Sparks immediately ruled out the shoulder and told me I need an MRI on my neck.
Sure enough he was right. He also performed surgery on my opposite shoulder. He gave me several choices, explained the pros and cons of each, and I elected to have the surgery. Total trust in him and his staff as they are truly there for the patient.

Dr. Sparks is awesome. From the first visit he knew what was wrong with my hip. Did the steps to make sure and sure enough he was right. Office staff is awesome and we just love my brother from another mother to death "Kenneth". I strongly recommend you see him if you have joint problems. I had a total hip replacement and it was instant relief. Thanks Dr. Sparks and staff.

They don't come better than Doctor Sparks. He's the tops in knowledge, skill manner and presentation. He was the third and last Doctor I went to with my hip, knee and back issues. It turned out to be hips and after a total replacement of both offenders I felt like a kid again. First replacement was June 2016, second in November of the same year. I strongly recommend Dr Sparks to anyone having issues with mobility of the lower extremities. My name is David Cherbonnier, but when I went for the review it came up with my mother-in-laws account.
