What is a joint pain?
Joints such as, hip, shoulder, elbow, knee, ankle, hands, can be worn out due to overuse, trauma and/or age. When the joint wear out (AKA Arthritic changes), the cartilage wears out as well, which may lead to inflammation within the joint due to overuse. The inflammation causes pain as a dull ache, throbbing sensation, which results in deterioration of the quality of life.
What are my treatment options?
If you have failed conservative therapies, such as anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, cold-packs, heat pack and home exercise programs, and want to avoid unnecessary surgeries and pain medications, then you may be an excellent candidate for the minimal invasive pain management treatments. This may include but not limited to:
