4 Treatments for Joint Pain From a Wellness Center

There are many reasons why you should consider a wellness center the next time you are feeling ill or experiencing discomfort. The doctors here can help you with irritation and pain you are feeling in your joints. These aches can affect routine movements such as twisting, turning and bending over. You do not have to live with these conditions any longer if you choose the services your center provides.

Causes of joint pain

It is common for people to have occasional brief bouts with joint pain. Sports injuries, strenuous exercising and accidents such as slips and falls can result in pain in various areas of the body. Typically, pain in the back, knees, shoulders and hips affects people the most. In many cases, the pain subsides in a few days. However, severe or debilitating pain can hinder a person’s quality of life. These conditions may come about due to diseases such as osteoarthritis, gout, bursitis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone cancer and fibromyalgia.

Spinal cord stimulation

When patients come to a wellness center for joint pain relief, they often complain about back pain. The spine is one of the most common places to suffer strain and irritation from injuries and accidents. Spinal cord stimulation uses electrical impulses to reduce the pain the person is feeling. This technique can relieve pain in the spine as well as in the neck and legs by blocking signals from the affected area to the brain. Rather than experience the effects of the injury or condition, the patient may experience a pleasant feeling.

Radiofrequency ablation

Using a local anesthetic to numb the patient, the doctor will inject the patient and heat the nerves. This will minimize the nerve impulses, thus lessening the pain the patient is feeling in the joints. Many patients who suffer chronic pain choose this treatment at a wellness center. It can be effective for up to two years before another injection will be required.

Kyphoplasty

This wellness center treatment is specific for people who have suffered spine fractures. The goal is to straighten the spine and alleviate pain in the back and other areas. The doctor makes a small incision in the spine and inserts a tube into the vertebrae. Next, the doctor will place a balloon into the spine and inflate it to lift the break. Afterward, the doctor will put a hardening agent into the space in order to stabilize the injury.

Platelet-rich plasma injection

This treatment uses the patient’s blood platelets to promote healing in the knee. The doctor injects the platelets into the person’s knee to relieve the symptoms of tendonitis and other pain in the ligaments or cartilage. The frequency and number of injections will depend on the patient’s needs and the severity of their condition.
