Dr. Matthew Gnirke is a board-certified, fellowship-trained physiatrist who focuses on interventional sports, spine, and regenerative medicine. His practice centers on the proper diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries and disorders.
He completed undergraduate studies at Virginia Tech, where he graduated summa cum laude in biological sciences. He returned to his home state of New York for medical school at Upstate Medical University. During medical school, he was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society.
His love for Colorado began during residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Colorado, where he was chief resident. He went on to complete advanced fellowship training in interventional sports, spine, and regenerative medicine and is board-certified by the American Board of PM&R.
Dr. Gnirke utilizes precise musculoskeletal ultrasound and fluoroscopy to localize and treat joint, tendon, ligament, and nerve disorders. He is fellowship trained in regenerative medicine, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow-derived stem cells to treat disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
Specifically, Dr. Gnirke provides evidenced-based orthobiologic treatments for degenerative disc disease, arthritis, meniscus tears, and several tendon-related disorders such as rotator cuff injuries, tennis elbow, and greater trochanteric pain syndrome.
In addition to biologic treatments, Dr. Gnirke also performs conventional sports and spine procedures, including electromyography, fluoroscopy-guided epidural steroid injections, facet and SI joint injections and ablations, and ultrasound-guided joint, tendon, and nerve injections.
In his free time, Dr. Gnirke enjoys all that Colorado has to offer. An avid rockhound, hiker, cyclist, and skier, Dr. Gnirke is a lifelong grappler, having grown up wrestling, and he continues to train and compete in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. As an athlete himself, Dr. Matthew Gnirke personally understands how important a proper diagnosis and precise treatment is to maximize performance in sport and life.
Additionally, Dr. Gnirke is certified in Registered in Musculoskeletal® (RMSK®) sonography. RMSK® sonography certification raises the standard of musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging worldwide and promotes best practices for enhanced patient safety.

Dr. Gnirke is very thorough and thoughtful based physician. I believe he lays out a plan after carefully considering all the information available and discusses it with his patient step by step. I was quite impressed with his understanding, empathy and professionalism.
Excellent
My appointment with Dr. Gnirke was amazing. He was very patient and thorough with my questions and concerns. My EMG went very smoothly and he was able to chart my future path on trying to figure out from where my pain is coming. Thank you so much. I look forward to my next appointment with him on December 9.
