Committed to Providing You With Fast, Lasting Relief
In 1998 the physicians of the esteemed Lake Centre for Orthopaedics expanded their practice to become Florida Musculoskeletal Institute, a comprehensive orthopedic care center offering an unparalleled range of allied healthcare services to people suffering from bone, muscle and joint pain. FMI’s doctors and staff are trained in the most advanced and well-established treatments and technologies to create a pioneering, interdisciplinary approach to next-level orthopaedic care.
Feeling better for a little while is never enough.
The Florida Musculoskeletal Institute is dedicated to improving the musculoskeletal health of our patients through advanced, non-surgical orthopedic care, sports medicine expertise, and regenerative therapies.
Our approach combines thorough clinical evaluation, personalized treatment plans, and evidence-based regenerative options to help you reduce pain, restore function, and return to the activities you love.
We emphasize conservative care first, and use regenerative modalities such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and other orthobiologics to support healing and tissue recovery where appropriate.
Regenerative Medicine – Regenerative medical treatments utilize your body’s own ability to heal itself by boosting its power naturally. These include Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), which uses your blood to help heal and regenerate tendons, ligaments and other soft tissues, and Stem Cell Therapy, which delivers your own healing stem cells to injuries, arthritis and degenerative conditions.
Occupational Medicine Services
Because so many injuries occur on the job or due to vocational activities, FMI has established the Workers’ Health Center for Occupational Medicine to treat job-related diseases and injuries and help resolve workplace hazards. Our center provides medical exams, urgent care, injury evaluation and management, drug and alcohol screening and a host of other services. To learn more, please review our Occupational Medicine page.
You can rely on Florida Musculoskeletal Institute to continue to be at the leading edge of quality orthopaedic medicine in Lake, Sumter and Marion Counties, both now and through the future. At FMI, we don’t measure our success by the number of patients we treat, but by the number whose lives we improve.
