Arthritis Pain Care

In general, arthritic joint pain tends to develop gradually and may include morning stiffness, aching after activity, and reduced movement in the affected joints. Arthritis pain care focuses on helping manage symptoms and maintain function, and an evaluation can also consider whether a nerve problem may be contributing. At Complete Care, this evaluation is led by a Provider on our team.

Evaluating Joint Pain

Digital Radiology Review Systems — used to review joint imaging.
Diagnostic Ultrasound — may be used to image the soft tissue around an affected joint.
Computerized Range of Motion Testing — used to measure and record stiffness and movement.

Managing Symptoms

Depending on the evaluation, a treatment plan may include one or more of the following:

Fluoroscopy-Guided Injections — injections performed with imaging guidance, when injection therapy is considered appropriate.
Therapeutic Ultrasound Therapy — a modality sometimes used as part of care for joint and muscle discomfort.
TENS & Electrical Stimulation Therapy — a modality that may be used to help manage pain.

Results vary from patient to patient, and not every option is right for everyone.
