Acute joint pain usually stems from an injury or direct trauma, whereas chronic joint pain may be caused by conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis.
Chronic joint pain can also arise from underlying medical issues such as dislocation, infection, osteoporosis, cancer, or fibromyalgia.

Treatments for Joint Pain
- If over-the-counter medications do not relieve your pain, we may explore other treatment options, such as prescription medications, epidural steroid injections, or nerve blocks.
- Strengthening the muscles around the joint is crucial for healing and preventing future flare-ups, so we may suggest at-home exercises or physical therapy.
- In some cases, we may also recommend regenerative therapy to aid in the healing of your joints. This involves taking a sample of your bone marrow and injecting it into the damaged joints. Bone marrow contains a high concentration of cells that can stimulate the growth of new bone and cartilage, helping to restore normal functionality and comfort to your joints.
