JOINT AND SPINAL PAIN

Joint and spinal pain is the most common reason why Americans reach out to the health care system for treatment and is the leading cause of disability. There can be many causes of joint pain and spinal pain including osteoarthritis and other forms of arthritis, muscle or ligament sprain, osteoporosis, and bulging or ruptured discs. Facet joint pain and stiffness can begin to occur after long periods of inactivity, such as while sitting for long journeys or watching a two-hour movie.

Moreover, the NIH’s findings show that:

Chronic pain can lead to long-term disability
Pain conditions are varied and require a wide array of treatments
Aside from being a chronic disease, pain also impedes treatments for cancer and can cause or exacerbate other conditions or diseases such as traumatic brain injury, PTSD or depression

TREATMENTS

Chiropractic care
Joint and spine procedures
analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) and muscle relaxants

We also utilize orthobiologic therapy, which is a field of regenerative medicine that encompasses technologies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell infusions. Our doctors may also recommend nutrition therapy and strengthening exercises to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Chiropractic care, and regenerative medicine are forms of healing that help the body heal itself, thus preventing future pain as well. Managing your pain or even better eliminating it may require a combination of therapies, medications, or procedures mentioned above.

Which treatment is ideal for an individual depends on their unique needs, which PA Pain Specialists will strive to meet. This is a collaborative process involving and centering on the patient, a tailored treatment plan to ensure optimum outcomes.
