Common Non-Surgical Treatments in New Jersey at NJ Spine & Orthopedic

Depending on your needs, our specialists may recommend one or more of the following non-surgical treatment options: 

Bracing and Activity Modification

For many spine and orthopedic conditions, bracing and activity modification can play a crucial role in managing symptoms and promoting healing. Braces can provide support to the spine, aiding in the reduction of pain and promoting better alignment. Activity modification may involve making specific changes to daily movements to alleviate pressure on the spine and reduce discomfort.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a cornerstone of non-surgical treatment for spine and orthopedic conditions. Skilled physical therapists work with patients to develop targeted exercise regimens and rehabilitation plans to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance overall function. This comprehensive approach aims to address the root cause of your pain and improve your functional abilities.

Pain Relief Medication

When it comes to managing spine and orthopedic pain, non-surgical treatment options often include pain relief medication. Anti-inflammatory medication and steroid injections may be utilized to reduce pain and inflammation in the affected areas. These medications work to enhance blood flow and alleviate discomfort, allowing patients to engage more fully in their treatment and recovery without surgery.

Cervical and Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections

Cervical and lumbar epidural steroid injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area of the spine, providing targeted relief from pain and reducing inflammation.

Transforaminal Injections

We also offer transforaminal injections, which target specific nerve roots in the spine to alleviate pain and inflammation. These injections can be particularly effective for conditions such as herniated discs and spinal stenosis. They provide relief from nerve-related pain.

Joint Injections

For patients dealing with joint pain, we also provide joint injections to deliver medication directly into the affected joint. This can help reduce inflammation and provide relief from pain caused by arthritis or other degenerative joint conditions.

Botox Injections

Botox injections are also available to help alleviate muscle spasms and improve mobility in patients with conditions such as cervical dystonia or spasticity. While often associated with cosmetic purposes, these injections can also be used to treat muscle pain and spasms, particularly in the neck and back. 

Trigger Point Injections

For those suffering from myofascial pain, trigger point injections can be an effective non-surgical treatment option. These injections target specific trigger points in the muscles to alleviate pain and improve mobility. Whether you are dealing with chronic headaches, low back pain, or shoulder pain, these injections can offer significant relief.
