When you suffer from chronic pain, it invades every aspect of your life, taking both an emotional and physical toll on your well-being. Have plans with your partner for the evening? Chronic pain swoops in and causes you to cancel, spending the evening on the couch instead of at your favorite restaurant. Looking forward to a fun weekend trip to wine country? Chronic pain says, “Don’t even think about it” and sends you running for the nearest ice pack. For millions of people living with chronic pain, it feels like a silent passenger has hijacked your life and taken it over, with no sign of relief in sight.

A doctor of physical therapy is part of a pain management treatment plan that can assist people who experience neck, back, and knee pain. Here, we’ll explore a physical therapist’s education requirements, what kinds of PT schools and physical therapy colleges a doctor of physical therapy attends, as well as how a physical therapy degree can help with neck, back, and knee pain.

Interventional Pain Treatments for Chronic Neck Pain

The NYC pain management doctors at Pain Treatment Specialists offer a variety of minimally-invasive treatments for chronic neck, back, elbow, hip, and shoulder pain that do not involve regenerative medicine. Neck pain is a common complaint that is caused by a variety of issues, including poor posture, arthritis, or the residual effects from a traumatic event such as a car accident. Some of the pain treatments for neck pain offered by our NYC pain management doctors include:

Physical Therapy: Once your pain doctor has diagnosed your specific neck pain issue, a physical therapist works to build strength in weak areas through tailored exercises and therapies. A variety of physical therapy treatment options are used to target your neck pain, including strength training and pain treatment training to build muscles and increase flexibility in affected areas. Our interventional pain doctors work with physical therapists to create treatment options that are crafted just for you.
Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection: This is an injection given to the epidural space of your spine, and it involves a steroid drug such as steroid. This injection minimizes pain and inflammation in your neck, arms, and shoulders. If you suffer from arthritis, spinal stenosis, or herniated discs, a cervical epidural steroid injection relieves the pressure on nerves that are causing your pain.
Trigger Point Injections: Trigger points are also called “sensitive areas”, and they are found deep inside connective tissue. These areas ache when touched or overused, and appear in the form of knots or bands that occur when muscles are too contracted and can’t relax. Trigger point injections deposit a local anesthetic drug and a corticosteroid drug, making the area pain free. At our pain management clinic, this is an outpatient pain treatment that offers instant relief from neck pain.
Cervical Facet Block Injection: An instant quality of life improvement for neck pain is a cervical facet block injection. If you suffer from arthritis, this injection targets facet joints in your cervical spine and deposits a small amount of local anesthetic drug and steroid medicine. The result? The facet joint is numbed and the pain is blocked. This interventional pain treatment is both fast-acting and minimally invasive.

Tell your chronic pain to take a hike, and get back in the driver’s seat. Contact the NYC pain management doctors at Pain Treatment Specialists to see how our state of the art pain management clinic offers long term pain treatment options for chronic pain.
