Having a pain management department allows for a comprehensive approach to handle pain relief and gives our patients numerous alternatives to pain medication and more aggressive procedures. They specialize in managing pain associated with bones, joints, cancer, migraines, and vein issues, to name a few. Dr. Sood and Dr. Liu are highly trained professionals that strive to create personalized care plans for every patient.
Joint Pain
Joint pain can include discomfort, pain, or inflammation arising from any part of a joint, including cartilage, bone, ligaments, tendons, or muscles. This type of pain is typically related to arthritis or arthralgia, which are an inflammation of the joints, but it can be related to a variety of other conditions, such as cancer, broken bones, regional pain syndrome, gout, lupus, tendinitis, and more. Motion, pressure, or weight-bearing resistance can intensify joint pain and lead to swelling, redness, and tenderness and warmth around the affected joint.
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger points are “knots” in your muscles that can become very painful. A trigger point injection cane be done to help the muscle relax and alleviate the pain. Trigger point injections are commonly done with a small amount of anesthetic and are performed here in the office.
Gel Injections
Most commonly injected into the knee as a lubricant or cushion for the knee joint.
Steroid Injections
The steroid Kenalog is used to decrease inflammation in the joint and can be injected into various body parts such as the hip, shoulders, knees and for carpal tunnel.
