JOINT PAIN IN CHARLOTTE

Our joints are responsible for helping us move, function, and get around from day to day. They allow us to make simple and complex movements. As such, injuries are common. Joint pain may be caused by age, wear and tear, overuse, and injuries. The pain may range from mild to severe and may limit mobility depending on the underlying cause or condition.

Treatment for Joint Pain

At Advanced Sports & Spine, we provide treatment for joint pain in Charlotte to ease your pain and improve your mobility. Our holistic, multidisciplinary approach to pain management allows us to diagnose and treat the root cause of your joint pain. Joint pain treatments may include rest, exercise, dietary or lifestyle changes, injections, therapies, and/or medications. If rest and over-the-counter pain relievers do not relieve your joint pain, medical intervention is needed.

Regenerative Medicine for Joint Pain

Regenerative medicine includes alternative therapies, such as PRP therapy and stem cell therapy, that help the body heal naturally. These treatments regrow, replace, or repair tissues in the body and minimize pain in the joints. Platelet rich plasma, or PRP therapy, treats less severe joint and tendon injuries; whereas stem cell therapy is used for more advanced procedures.

In some cases, regenerative medicine allows patients to avoid unnecessary surgeries. Surgery is risky, highly invasive, and involves a lot of downtime. Regenerative medicine is minimally invasive and can be performed in the office. Side effects are rare, and the body heals naturally without the same downtime and risks. The recovery period may be a matter of days rather than months.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS FOR JOINT PAIN

Peripheral Joint Injections

Joint pain is common in the peripheral areas, such as the hips, knees, and shoulders. It is commonly caused by arthritis or inflammation. A peripheral joint injection helps to relieve the pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joint. This is a type of steroid injection that may be performed using fluoroscopy or ultrasound to guide the needle to the targeted area.

Viscosupplementation

Viscosupplement injections help treat arthritis pain. With this treatment, hyaluronic acid is applied to the joint to cushion the area against additional discomfort and inflammation. This may help relieve discomfort from using and moving damaged joints and improve mobility.

Bursa Injections

Bursa injections treat joint pain caused by bursitis. When the bursa, or small, fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints, become inflamed, it causes pain in the area. Bursa injections target these inflamed bursae in order to relieve pain and improve joint mobility. This treatment is performed in the office and involves injecting a steroid/anesthetic medication into the targeted area.

Frequently Asked Questions

ABOUT TREATMENTS FOR JOINT PAIN

WHAT CAUSES JOINT PAIN?

Joint pain has various causes including age, wear and tear, and overuse. Accidental and sports injuries can also lead to joint pain.

HOW CAN I STOP JOINT PAIN?

At our pain management practice in Charlotte, NC, we offer several different options for treating joint pain. However, first we must diagnose the cause of your pain. Once the root of your joint pain has been determined, we can create an appropriate treatment plan. Effective treatments may include injections, medications, weight loss, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes to reduce or eliminate joint pain.

WHAT DOES JOINT PAIN FEEL LIKE?

Joint pain may range from mild to severe depending on the cause. Common symptoms include pain and inflammation, joint stiffness, redness, warmth, and limited mobility.

WHEN SHOULD YOU SEEK JOINT PAIN TREATMENT?

Pain tolerance varies from patient to patient. However, if you have tried at-home therapies such as rest, ice, and pain relievers without success, contact your physician for an evaluation. Severe or chronic joint pain, pain that doesn’t go away with at-home therapy, or pain that limits your mobility require medical treatment. The goal of treatment is reducing your pain and improving your quality of life.

WHEN SHOULD YOU BE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR JOINT PAIN?

If you have tried to treat your joint pain with rest, ice, and pain relievers and your pain has not subsided, contact your pain management physician. Additionally, you should contact your doctor if you have new or worsening symptoms or pain that affects your range of motion. An evaluation is necessary to determine the underlying cause of your joint pain.

WHAT ARE COMMON JOINT DISEASES?

Joint damage may be caused by injuries or underlying diseases. Common joint diseases or disorders include types of arthritis, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis; gout; lupus; and bursitis. If you think you have signs or symptoms of a joint disorder, contact your physician for an assessment.

IS JOINT PAIN NORMAL?

Joint pain or injuries may occur from time to time, especially if you are involved in sports or physical activity. Joint pain is commonly caused by overuse or injuries. In many cases, the pain subsides with general rest or over-the-counter therapies. However, severe or lingering pain from an injury should be addressed, as should any new or worsening pain that does not have a known cause.
