As we reflect on the past year at Jersey Joint, Spine, and Regen, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made and the impact we’ve had on our patients’ lives. This year has been marked by significant advancements in patient care, driven by our commitment to staying at the forefront of medical innovation and tailoring our services to meet the unique needs of our community.
Throughout the year, knee, spine, and hip conditions have been the most prevalent issues we’ve treated. These areas continue to be the core of our practice, allowing us to refine our expertise and deliver exceptional care to our patients.
Knee-related conditions were the most common among our patients. These included:
Spine conditions, particularly those affecting the lumbar and cervical regions, were another major area of focus. These included:
Hip issues, including both degenerative and acute conditions, also featured prominently in our practice. These included:
This year, we’ve seen tremendous growth in our regenerative medicine services, particularly in the areas of stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. These treatments have provided our patients with non-surgical options for joint pain, arthritis, and tendon injuries, offering faster recovery times and improved outcomes.
In addition to our musculoskeletal focus, we’ve expanded our services in vein care, addressing conditions such as varicose veins, venous insufficiency, and spider veins. Our vein treatments include:
One of the key trends we’ve observed this year is the seasonality of certain conditions. For example, spine-related issues tend to peak in the winter months, likely due to reduced physical activity and the effects of cold weather. Conversely, knee and hip conditions see an uptick during the summer, as patients engage in more outdoor activities.
These insights have allowed us to proactively adjust our staffing and resource allocation, ensuring that we are always prepared to meet the changing needs of our patients throughout the year.
At the heart of our practice are the stories of patients like Olga Welsh and Linda Fernicola, who have experienced life-changing results through our care.
Olga Welsh: After being advised by other doctors to undergo knee replacement surgery, Olga found a less invasive solution with Dr. Vernon’s regenerative treatment plan. “I am so grateful to Dr. Vernon and his team,” she shared. “Today, I am back on my feet! I’m about 80% there, but I have no doubt that I will get to 100% with their help.”
Linda Fernicola: Linda’s journey involved treatment for neck and shoulder injuries. Despite the challenges, she has made remarkable progress. “Dr. Vernon is amazing,” she said. “I’m getting stronger and have almost full motion of my arm. He’s very smart, patient, and caring.”
Our patient demographic data provides further insights into the age groups we serve. This year, we saw a diverse range of patients, with a noticeable concentration in the 50-60 age band. These patients often present with degenerative conditions that require specialized care.
This demographic insight has been crucial in tailoring our treatment plans to meet the specific needs of each age group, ensuring that everyone receives the most effective and compassionate care.
As we look ahead to 2025, our goals are clear: continue expanding our services, adopt new technologies, and deepen our focus on patient-centered care. We plan to enhance our offerings in regenerative medicine, introduce new diagnostic tools, and further refine our treatment protocols based on the trends we’ve observed.
Our commitment to excellence remains unwavering, and we are excited to continue serving our community with the highest standards of care. Thank you for trusting Jersey Joint, Spine, and Regen with your health. We look forward to another year of helping you achieve your wellness goals.
