What relief methods are recommended for joint pain?

The doctors at Modern Movement Medicine are joint specialists. If over-the-counter medications aren’t helping or if you feel dependent on taking over-the-counter or prescription medications to alleviate your pain, further assessment is required to ensure that the situation doesn’t worsen.

Your treatment plan may include the following recommendations:

• Joint Injections are recommended on a case-by-case basis and depend on the nature of your injury.
• Chiropractic care is typically recommended for both acute and chronic joint pain issues. If a joint is not moving well and affecting surrounding soft tissue or compromising other joint structures, it is important to correct these misalignments to alleviate restriction and for rehabilitation to be effective.
• Physical therapy can help strengthen or relax the muscles surrounding the affected joint and is important to heal and prevent future flare-ups.
• Trigger Point Injections are composed of 99% saline solution and 1% lidocaine. The purpose of these injections is to help “dissolve” hardened muscle tissue that may be limiting your range of motion.
• Dietary Changes are especially beneficial in cases of chronic systemic inflammation. If your Doctor believes that your diet may be contributing to your overall inflammation, this will be addressed.
• Supplements and nutraceuticals can be especially beneficial to aid in regenerative therapies, and are typically prescribed with any regenerative treatment. Additional supplements may also be recommended on an individual or as-needed basis.
• Massage therapy, Acupuncture, and other ancillary modalities may also be recommended on an individual basis.
