Welcome Dr. Archana Chivukula to OPA’s Orthopedic Team
We’re proud to welcome Dr. Archana Chivukula, a board-certified non-operative sports medicine physician, to our practice. Dr. Chivukula provides non-surgical solutions for pain and injuries in patients of all ages—children, adults, seniors, and athletes alike.
Formally trained in prolotherapy through the prestigious Hackett-Hemwall-Paterson Foundation and certified by the Gulf Coast Ultrasound Institute in micro-fragmented adipose tissue (MFAT), Dr. Chivukula brings exceptional expertise to our growing non-operative medicine program.
With over 15 years of global experience, she specializes in advanced, research-based regenerative treatments—including prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), orthobiologics, and precision ultrasound-guided procedures. Her patient-centered approach focuses on identifying the root cause of pain, developing individualized treatment plans, and helping patients recover faster, restore mobility, and avoid surgery whenever possible.
Patients describe Dr. Chivukula as compassionate, thorough, and deeply committed to helping them return to the activities they love. She is fluent in Hindi, Telugu, and Urdu, allowing her to connect with a wide range of patients in our diverse community.
Originally from India, Dr. Chivukula brings a global perspective to orthopedic and sports medicine care. Outside of the clinic, she enjoys hiking, camping, biking, and strength training, and she’s passionate about clean eating, vegan cooking, and mindfulness. As a devoted parent, she understands the challenges of staying healthy while managing a busy lifestyle—and she’s dedicated to helping her patients do the same.
