Pain Management Therapy
 
 
  • Intra-Articular Steroid Injections

These nearly instant pain releivers blanket the most common source of pain - swelling in the spaces around your joints.  The fast-acting medicine pulls the excess fluid out of the soft tissue and rids your body from that cause to feel pain.

  • Trigger Point Injections

Trigger Point Injections deliver a double whammy to both acute and long-term pain responses.  Both for injuries that never seem to go away and for those that just happened, this therapy targets those nervous tissues located deep within muscles and inhibit local and referred pain.

 "Trigger-point injection has been shown to be one of the most effective treatment modalities to inactiveate trigger points an dprovide prompt relief of symptoms." (American Family Physician  2002; 65:653-60.  Copyright 2002 American Adademy of Family Physicians.)

  • Neurotherapy Injections

The nervous system is made up of an intricate network of tissues that is always alert for an appropriate response to injury.  Once a pain response is initiated, you need something to break into the network and interrupt that pain so that you can get some relief.  Neurotherapy is just such a tool to break up that pain.

These are just a brief example of what Carteret Family Practices Specific Injection Therapies can offer you.  Please schedule an appointment with the doctor to discuss these treatment options.
