Treatment Options for All Types of Joint Pain
No matter the joint, we offer many treatment options, including steroid injections, viscosupplementation and nerve ablation.
Steroid injections deliver a small amount of steroid and local anesthetic to an affected joint to provide pain relief and reduce inflammation. Muscles and bursae like the rotator cuff can be treated in this manner as well.
Viscosupplements like Synvisc, Monovisc and Gel-one mimic the naturally occuring hyaluronic acid in joint fluid. Viscosupplements can be injected into the knees and other joints to reduce pain, nourish cartilage and provide cushioning to arthritic joints.
Small nerves provide sensory innervation to the hip and knee joints. These nerves allow you to feel pain in arthritic joints. These nerves can be selectively targeted and destroyed with radiofrequency ablation to provide long lasting pain relief. Only the knee and hip joint can be treated in this manner.
Both platelet rich plasma and stem cell therapies offer the possibility of healing otherwise damaged and painful joints. These treatments utilize you body's own cells to heal the affected joint. For more information visit our page on PRP/Stemcell Therapy.
