Without getting into the specifics, chiropractic care focuses on spinal alignment and nerve health. By ensuring that the joints of the spine, as well as extremities, are moving appropriately, we can decrease pain and restriction while healing and keeping your nerves healthy.

Acupuncture is a natural and alternative energy-based treatment that utilizes thin needles that are strategically placed throughout the body to stimulate points that activate the nervous and endocrine systems. These systems are responsible for the production of certain chemicals and hormones which regulate the body’s daily functions. Furthermore, needling nerve-rich areas of the skin surface can influence tissues, organs, and various functions of the body. Acupuncture is commonly used for maintenance of overall wellness, as well as acute and chronic pain, often in the neck, back, and knees. In addition, it is utilized to help manage anxiety, allergies, sprains, headaches, reproductive health issues, and gastrointestinal disorders.

While acupuncture involves the insertion of needles, there is surprisingly little to no discomfort. Acupuncture needles are very thin, solid, hair-like needles. A typical acupuncture needle is about ten times smaller than an average injection needle, usually making it unnoticeable.

Pain in the muscles and joints of the body can be improved with the manual techniques used by physical therapists to help reduce muscle tension and improve joint mobility. The exercises prescribed by physical therapists will target weak muscles to improve joint stability and muscle strength to prevent further injury. Movement is medicine!

This typically varies depending on the type of pain as well as the rate each individual heals. At the consultation, we can do a series of tests to determine the cause of pain and discuss a treatment plan that will be specific to your needs!

At Monmouth Pain, we pride ourselves in a less invasive form of treatment through interventional pain management. Interventional pain management may consist of procedures such as gel injections, epidurals, trigger point injections, and nerve blocks. Before we decide on a course of treatment, we do all the necessary tests and exams to ensure you are receiving the best possible care.

The knee injections consist of a hyaluronic acid replacement in the form of gel. This is used to replace the hyaluronic acid that naturally occurs in a healthy knee joint. First, we take x-rays to see the degree of arthritis to determine whether the injections are necessary, then the gel is placed in the knee joint using a moving image to ensure we have placed it correctly. At Monmouth Pain, we find that a series of 5 injections over the course of 5 weeks works the best. Generally, the knee injections help to lubricate the arthritic knee joint to decrease pain and inflammation by allowing the joint to move more smoothly.

At Monmouth Pain, we use a low level light laser to decrease inflammation and pain. Along with the decrease in inflammation, the laser also excites the cells in the area of complaint to promote the healing process, often reducing healing time.

Vibration therapy can be used for a number of conditions including knee pain, neuropathy, and back pain. The vibration promotes circulation, keeps muscles loose, and relieves pain. Vibration may also be used to facilitate muscular changes during exercise and can even decrease soreness post-workout.
