The Most Comprehensive Back Pain Treatment in New Jersey
July 23, 2020
The Pain Doctors Offering the Best Pain Treatment Options
Back pain is common, but so is avoiding a physical examination of the pain. Some patients fear the cost of treatment, the risk of surgery, or the lack of effective solutions. It’s true that seeking back pain treatment in New Jersey could lead you to surgery, narcotic pain prescriptions, or ineffective and dangerous procedures. The wrong back pain treatment could also cost you months off of work, or even worsen your pain.
But Pain Treatment Specialists provides a superior level of care that avoids surgery, opioids, and invasive procedures. Our Harvard-trained physicians are experts in interventional pain management, offering minimally invasive treatments for back pain. Our extensive training provides us with a wealth of treatment options for lower, middle, and upper back pain that other pain clinics can’t provide. Our interventional techniques locate the cause of pain and relieve back pain at the source, rather than systemically, preventing medication dependence.
Don’t postpone a physical examination any longer if you’re struggling with back pain. Putting off treatment could worsen your condition, and also worsen your quality of life. Our award-winning doctors relieve back pain within minutes, without the excessive pain, downtime, and expenses caused by surgical treatments.
8 Reasons to Seek Back Pain Treatment in New Jersey
Back pain sometimes resolves on its own, particularly if it’s the result of something new and temporary. For example, if you travelled and slept on a different mattress, or spent extra time gardening or cleaning out the garage, you might experience acute back pain. If the pain isn’t severe, or accompanied by red flags, it’s safe to try rest and acetaminophen or ibuprofen at home. But if it persists for more than a week or presents in the following ways, visit our doctors for expert back pain treatment in New Jersey.
- Fever, Redness, Swelling: If your back pain is accompanied by these warning signs, seek a physical examination promptly to rule out infection or disease.
- Recent Injury or Fall: Back pain that follows a car accident, sports injury, or fall could signify serious damage. At the moment of impact, our bodies can enter a state of shock, so back pain may not present until later. If back pain occurs, recall any recent injuries, and give us a call. While whiplash or a ruptured disc may be to blame, you could also have a break or compression fracture, internal bleeding, or spinal cord damage.
- Incontinence: If you experience new bowel or bladder incontinence with back pain, contact our office promptly. A variety of things like nerve compression can cause incontinence, but we’ll want to rule out pervasive conditions like discitis or meningitis.
- Paralysis or Immobility: If you’re suddenly unable to move your back, neck, or limbs, it’s time to seek urgent care. In some cases, this signifies an emergency, and prompt treatment is needed to restore mobility and prevent lasting paralysis.
- Sudden Weakness: Weakness in your legs could be the result of sciatica or spinal stenosis, which our doctors can treat in-office. But it may also signal something more sinister, like a stroke, so seek immediate care.
- Severe Pain: We all have different thresholds for pain, but you’ll know if your pain is severe. If you’re unable to move without unbearable pain, or confined to your bed or chair, then prompt medical care is required. This might signal things like a ruptured disc, compression fracture, muscle tear, or disease.
- Tingling or Numbness: Often, back pain presents with tingling or numbness in our spine or extremities. In some cases, this is the result of a pinched nerve or herniated discs, while other times, it’s caused by sciatica or arthritis. Since the causes vary, and arthritis alone has over 100 subtypes, you don’t want to treat this on your own. Let our pain doctors prescribe the best pain treatment options for your condition.
- Atypical Symptoms: We’re all equipped with intuition that tells us when something is off. If your back pain is paired with unusual symptoms like nausea, bloating, diarrhea, lethargy, urinary frequency, or burning sensations, for example, visit our office. Since the back is the main support structure, it often experiences pain referred from other areas. The reproductive system, digestive system, immune system, and more can trigger back pain, which is why an expert diagnosis is essential.

Research has proven for decades that surgical treatments for back pain should be a last resort. But many clinics for back pain treatment in New Jersey still perform unnecessary surgery.
