Pain Awareness Month: Interventional Pain Management

September is Pain Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about chronic pain and highlighting the treatments available to help those affected. Chronic pain impacts millions of people globally, disrupting their ability to live productive and fulfilling lives. At Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute (AOSMI), we understand the profound effects of chronic pain and are committed to providing compassionate, effective solutions to manage and alleviate pain.

What Is Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain is a condition where discomfort persists for months or even years, often without a clear cause. Common forms of chronic pain include back pain, neck pain, joint pain, and neuropathy, which can be triggered by injury, illness, or degenerative conditions like arthritis. Pain Awareness Month is the perfect time to take charge of your health and seek treatment if pain is affecting your daily life.

What Is Interventional Pain Management?

At AOSMI, we specialize in Interventional Pain Management, which focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing pain through minimally invasive procedures. Our dual Board-certified, Fellowship-trained New Jersey pain management specialists are experts in physical medicine and rehabilitation, and pain medicine, offering personalized treatment options based on each patient’s unique needs.

Conditions We Treat

Our specialists treat a wide range of conditions, including:

Back Pain
Neck Pain
Arthritis
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
Fibromyalgia
Neuropathy
Injury-Related Pain

Customized Pain Management Plans

Chronic pain doesn’t just take a physical toll; it can also affect your mental health. By managing your pain effectively, you can significantly improve your overall well-being.

At AOSMI, we begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your condition to understand the source of your pain. After conducting a thorough physical examination to assess biomechanical issues like flexibility and strength, we create a customized rehabilitation plan tailored to your needs. Our goal is to help you regain mobility, reduce pain, and return to a more active lifestyle.

Non-Surgical Pain Treatments

We prioritize non-surgical treatments to alleviate pain and improve function. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing chronic pain from worsening. Our conservative treatments include:

Physical Therapy
Occupational Therapy
Rehabilitation Programs
Medication Management

These therapies are designed to relieve pain, restore function, and avoid more invasive treatments. Early intervention can often help patients avoid surgery altogether.

Advanced Interventional Pain Procedures

When conservative treatments do not provide sufficient relief, AOSMI offers minimally invasive interventional procedures to target the source of the pain directly. Our state-of-the-art fluoroscopy suite allows us to perform these procedures safely and effectively. Many procedures come with little to no recovery time, and patients often experience relief within days. We offer treatments such as:

- Myofascial Injections
- Joint, Bursa, and Nerve Injections
- Epidural Steroid Injections
- Facet Joint Injections
- Medial Branch Blocks
- Radiofrequency Ablations
- Neurostimulation Therapy (neuromodulation to block pain signals)
- Sympathetic Nerve Blocks

PRP Injections

These treatments are minimally invasive, reducing the need for surgery and ensuring faster recovery times.
