Dr. Srikanth NithyanandamMD

Dr. Nithyanandam treats a broad range of conditions across primary care, sports medicine, and integrative health. These include tendon and ligament injuries, knee osteoarthritis, concussion, IT band syndrome, rotator cuff tendinopathy, Achilles tendinopathy, and calcific tendinitis. He also manages metabolic health conditions including prediabetes, diabetes, hypertension, and iron deficiency. On the primary care side, he handles chronic joint pain, myofascial pain, nerve entrapments, and cardiovascular health.

Yes. Dr. Nithyanandam holds triple board certification in Family Medicine, Sports Medicine (CAQ), and Integrative Medicine. He also holds credentials in Medical Acupuncture and a Master's degree in Exercise Physiology. This combination allows him to approach each patient through multiple clinical lenses simultaneously.

Dr. Nithyanandam completed fellowship training in Sports Medicine and earned a Master's degree in Exercise Physiology. He practiced for approximately six years in Central Kentucky's academic healthcare systems, serving as a University of Kentucky faculty member, Team Physician for Georgetown College Athletics, and Medical Director of Exercise Physiology at UK. He retains a voluntary faculty role in UK's Department of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine.

Dr. Nithyanandam performs a wide range of in-office procedures using on-site high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound. These include PRP therapy, prolotherapy, viscosupplementation, dry needling, cupping, Gua Sha, ultrasound-guided cortisone injections, tendon fenestration, and calcific tendinitis washout (barbotage). He also performs orthopaedic splinting, structural fiberglass casting, suturing, and EKGs.

Dr. Nithyanandam uses the LISM Whole Tree Framework to guide care. He assesses each patient across four layers: daily foundational habits, inner biology, the body's healing pathways, and acute structural concerns. He prioritizes nutrition, biomechanics, and metabolic optimization before defaulting to prescriptions. Every visit runs 30 to 60 minutes, giving him time to evaluate the full picture rather than a single symptom.

Yes. Dr. Nithyanandam has direct experience working with athletes at the collegiate level through his former role as Team Physician for Georgetown College Athletics. He now serves youth athletes, recreational runners, triathletes, marathoners, and collegiate competitors at LISM. He uses RunDNA biomechanical analysis to evaluate running gait and identify injury risk patterns.

Yes. Dr. Nithyanandam holds a Master's degree in Exercise Physiology and board certification in Sports Medicine, making him well-suited to evaluate running-related injuries. He uses the RunDNA system to analyze biomechanics in real time and identify movement inefficiencies. He treats conditions including bone stress injuries, IT band syndrome, Achilles tendinopathy, and overtraining syndrome.

Dr. Nithyanandam sees patients aged 10 and older. His patient mix includes athletes from youth through recreational adult levels, adults managing chronic musculoskeletal pain, and patients with metabolic health concerns like diabetes or hypertension. He also sees patients seeking integrative primary care with a movement-first philosophy.

Yes. Dr. Nithyanandam uses on-site high-resolution musculoskeletal diagnostic ultrasound to guide all relevant injections. He never injects blindly. Procedures he guides with ultrasound include PRP therapy, viscosupplementation, cortisone injections, and tendon fenestration. This real-time imaging ensures precision placement into the exact area of tissue damage.
