Long days at the computer causing carpal tunnel pain in your wrists or hands?  

 

Comprehensive Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Relief

Wrist pain can manifest in a variety of ways and can result in stiffness, hand numbness and even loss of motion. Because tendinitis, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (pressure on the median nerve) develops over a period of time, we are doing a lot of damage to the wrist area with everyday activities.  What we end up with is lots of tendon inflammation, muscle strains and Carpal bones mis-aligned.  The pain can be sharp, burning and constant. You literally feel “handcuffed” from the discomfort!  Fortunately at Monmouth Pain, we take a multi approach to fix your wrist problems and get you pain free!

How can Monmouth Pain Help?

We use the latest technology with low level laser (cold laser) to remove the inflammation from the wrist joint.  Sometimes just the swelling is more painful than the condition.  We use Vibration therapy to get more blood circulation to the area to increase the rate of healing.  Acupuncture to push out the stagnant buildup to help decrease pain, and increase movement.  An Occupational therapist will work with you  to help open the channel that the median nerve travels through to decrease pain and tingling and will then work with you to increase range of motion and strength through stretching and exercises. And chiropractic adjustments to make sure your Carpal Tunnel nerves are free of bone pressure.  This recipe will get you typing away with, of course, the proper seating bio mechanics we’ll show you.  You’ll be so happy being pain free, you’ll want to shake our hand!

If you are experiencing wrist pain and are looking to find relief, don’t hesitate. Call 732-345-1377 for help now.

Low Level Light Laser (cold laser therapy) for Back and Neck Pain

Low Level Light Laser (cold laser therapy) for Back and Neck Pain

 

At Monmouth Pain one of the many tools that we utilize to accelerate the body’s natural healing process is a low level light laser (cold laser therapy).

The MLS Therapy Laser is the most advanced laser available to the medical profession.  It uses concentrated light energy to stimulate the body’s own healing process to minimize pain, inflammation and arthritis and reduce recovery times.

Along with reducing inflammation and decreasing pain, cold laser therapy stimulates blood flow, and promotes tissue regeneration. Many people find that they experience immediate results after a short session. In fact, 85-90% of all patients will experience significant relief of their pain and inflammation. 

Laser therapy eliminates risk from surgery and prescription pain killers, has no negative side effects, and restores patients’ lives.

How it Works

The cold laser utilizes a pencil-like beam of electromagnetic waves which you cannot see or feel, to reduce symptoms associated with your back pain. The anti-inflammatory effects of the laser work at the cellular level to promote healing.

Laser Therapy

 

In addition to helping with back pain, laser therapy effectively treats pain and inflammation associated with the following conditions:

  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Neuromas
  • Neuropathies
  • Arthritis
  • Sports injuries
  • Tendon & ligament injuries
  • Back & joint pain
  • Muscle sprains & strains
  • Tendonitis
  • Wounds
  • Post-surgical swelling
  • Disc disease

The patient is participating in the Brock String exercise.  This exercise is used to work on convergence/divergence of the eyes, eye strain related headaches as well as improving the focusing ability. 

This exercise is an example of vision therapy which is designed to aide in a multitude of ocular motility disorders. These disorders include trouble with eye convergence/divergence, peripheral vision issues, eye strain related syndromes,  and eye strain related headaches to name a few. Dysfunction in ocular motility (movement of the eyes) can occur for many reasons including:

Whiplash associated syndromes found with many motor vehicle accidents
Brain injuries whether traumatic or atraumatic
Spinal cord injuries
Strokes of the occipital lobe
Acute concussions
Chronic concussion symptoms
Too much screen time
Cervical soft tissue dysfunction

Patients can achieve good results with decreasing eye strain with functional activities such as driving, reading, working on the computer as well as improving overall focus and eye motility with vision therapy.

Slipped disc? Sciatica? Pinched nerve? Herniated disc? Spinal traction can help!

Slipped disc? Sciatica? Pinched nerve? Herniated disc? Spinal traction can help!

spinal traction

 

The team at Monmouth Pain may recommend spinal traction to address these and several other common conditions.

Spinal traction takes the pressure off of compressed areas of the spine by stretching it. This process is the key to easing pain and helping the body heal itself along the way.

Traction can be done manually or by using mechanical traction to improve spinal alignment, reduce pressure on joints, and relieve pain.

How can it be done in the office and at home? Once one of our practitioners determines that traction could be beneficial for your condition, he or she will typically place you on a specific treatment plan.  He or she may also prescribe some at-home traction devices that you could use to continue experiencing relief.

If you are experiencing back or neck pain and are looking to find relief, call to set up your free consultation today!

All about arthritis, and how Monmouth Pain can help!

All about arthritis, and how Monmouth Pain can help!

arthritis

 

Did you know there are more than 100 different types of arthritis and related conditions?

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and is also known as degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease. Osteoarthritis is a result of “wear and tear” on the joint overtime, causing the protective cartilage that provides cushion at the ends of your bones to wear down, and commonly affects the joints of the hands, knees, hips, and spine.  This often results in pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion at the joint.  Arthritis symptoms may remain the same, but often progress with time, resulting in chronic pain, inability to do daily activities, and even joint deformity.

Inflammatory arthritis is the result of an overactive immune system, causing inflammation of the joints. Common types of inflammatory arthritis include rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis, and even gout, just to name a few. Unlike OA, which is caused by physical wear and tear, inflammatory arthritis is an autoimmune disorder, and is the result of a pathological misfiring of immune cells attacking healthy tissue and causing inflammation at the joint. Symptoms include joint pain and stiffness, swelling, redness, warmth at joints, weakness, and fatigue.  Unlike OA, inflammatory arthritis conditions often affect multiple joints at once, tend to be symmetrical in nature (affecting both sides of the body), and symptoms can fluctuate in severity, known as “flares.”  According to a 2009 study conducted by the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology Clinical Trials (OMERACT) RA Flare Group, the danger of untreated RA flares is they can place you at greater risk of joint damage, poorer long-term outcomes, and even contribute to worsening cardiovascular disease.  Because of this, it’s important to listen to your body and be able to identify a flare when it starts and begin early interventions.

While both forms of arthritis vary in their onset, both are manageable with physical activity, lifestyle modification, and pain management interventions. At Monmouth Pain, our comprehensive team is well equipped in treating all your needs. Monmouth Pain’s number one objective is to provide pain management strategies that allow patients to rehabilitate without excessive drug use or unnecessary surgery. Because of that, our pain management doctors offer an abundance of less invasive treatment options, from steroid injections to viscosupplementation, and more. In addition to our pain management team, our physical therapists are skilled in various techniques and approaches, which are all tailored to your comfort. Our physical and occupational therapists are here to assist in regaining range of motion and strength, as well as educate you on joint protection techniques and environmental modifications to make daily tasks easier and pain free. In addition to therapy, our acupuncture team plays a critical role in helping you navigate your symptoms and manage pain.

If you have arthritis or are struggling with pain, please stop in to one of our offices and let us develop a customized plan that is comfortable for you!
