Image-guided, regenerative and rehabilitative options for joint, back, and soft tissue pain.

Not every injury—or every ache—requires surgery. Many patients are told their only option is a replacement or invasive procedure, when in reality, there are advanced, less disruptive options available. At Interventional Orthopedics of Washington (IOW), we specialize in helping your body repair itself through precision-guided, non-surgical treatments.
Our team, led by Dr. Balaji Sridhar and Dr. Otono Silva, takes time to evaluate your condition thoroughly before recommending a treatment plan. With backgrounds in research, regenerative science, and advanced procedural skills, they bring both science and compassion to every patient interaction.
