A leading researcher in platelet-rich plasma therapy for degenerative disease and sports injury, Dr. Borg Stein also has clinical and research specialties in, diagnostic and interventional musculoskeletal ultrasound, prolotherapy, cell therapies for sports injuries, arthritis as well as women’s musculoskeletal conditions and injuries.
Dr. Makovitch is a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician who specializes in the management of nonoperative sports related injuries. He works closely with patients taking a holistic approach to help them achieve their functional goals and return to sport and exercise.
Following his undergraduate training at Penn State University, Dr. Makovitch completed medical school at the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine. He then pursued a residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) at Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine. Following residency, he completed additional training in sports medicine at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, UT where he gained wide experience treating high level athletes to weekend warriors.
Dr. Makovitch’s interest in sports medicine long outdates his medical training and started with the personal experience of many injuries while competing in gymnastics. Through his years of sports participation and injuries he gained a deep appreciation for the musculoskeletal system. Given his background, he has a keen interest in care of the gymnast.
Dr. Makovitch utilizes many tools to facilitate recovery and return to sport and activity. Musculoskeletal ultrasound is frequently used to help provide diagnosis and treatment including ultrasound guided injections. Fluoroscopically guided spine injections are also performed when necessary. Regenerative medicine is another interest, specifically platelet rich plasma injection treatment. He also uses a minimally invasive outpatient procedure to treat refractory tendinitis such as tennis elbow. The technology helps tendon pain by precisely targeting and removing damaged tissue without the need for conventional surgery. Hands on treatment with osteopathic manipulative treatment is another tool to help recover and get back to exercise and sport.
He is currently a clinical instructor in the department of PM&R at Harvard Medical School through Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and primarily practices at Newton-Wellesley Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital. He is board certified in PM&R and sports medicine. He is also the team physician for Rivers High School. In his practice he treats non-operative conditions of the shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, elbows, and wrists in addition to the spine in the active individual.
