Pain management is a multi-faceted approach that emphasizes the diagnosis, treatment, and relief of chronic or acute pain, but without employing only surgical intervention. The goal of our pain management clinic in NJ is to alleviate pain, not simply to cover it up while we slowly scour the earth for a treatment option, and safely, through minimally invasive and effective treatments.

Pain management is more than just masking symptoms. It’s a strategic approach to identifying the root cause of pain and applying a customized plan using both traditional and new pain management procedures.

You might benefit from pain management if you’re living with:

• Back or neck pain
• Joint pain
  
• Headaches or migraines
  
• Nerve pain or neuropathy
  
• Disc herniations
  
• Cancer pain
  
• Fibromyalgia
  
• Sports-related injuries
  
• Arthritis or inflammatory conditions

   

Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation to ensure that treatment is not only effective, but also safe, sustainable, and minimally invasive.

During a visit with a pain management physician, the physician will perform a complete diagnostic workup consisting of a physical examination, any imaging, and the assessment and review of your medical history. Following that, a tailored treatment plan will be established. 

Some of the most advanced techniques utilized at our New Jersey pain management center consist of:

• Epidural Steroid Injections – Reduce inflammation around spinal nerves.
  
• Facet Joint Injections – Target the small joints of the spine that often cause chronic pain.
  
• Medial Branch Blocks – Help diagnose and relieve pain from arthritic spine joints.
  
• Spinal Cord Stimulation – Uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals from reaching the brain.
  
• Neurolytic Blocks – Chemical or thermal nerve blocks for long-term pain relief.
  
• Discography and Percutaneous Laser Discectomy – Diagnostic and treatment procedures for disc-related pain.
  
• Intrathecal Drug Delivery Systems – An implantable pump that delivers medication directly to the spinal cord.
  
• MILD Procedure (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression) – Especially effective for spinal stenosis, this innovative option allows patients to walk and move better without open surgery.
  
• Sacroiliac Joint Injections – Relieves lower back and pelvic pain caused by SI joint dysfunction.

Our approach to pain relief can vary significantly from patient to patient. We do not treat the MRI scan – we treat the person. Whether it is from an age-related degeneration, an accident, or a prior sports injury, our pain management doctors in New Jersey will help you share your pain story and create an all-inclusive care plan that works for you.
