Pain Treatment Options

Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Once we have diagnosed your joint pain, we can determine if our treatment options are right for you. All of our treatment procedures are non-invasive that do not require long recovery times.
Hyaluronic Acid for Joint Pain
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance found in the body, particularly in the joints, where it acts as a lubricant and shock absorber. We use this natural substance for joint pain treatment, especially for osteoarthritis.
Here’s how HA treats joint pain:
Viscosupplementation: injections of HA are directly injected into the affected joint. The injected HA increases the viscosity of the joint fluid, which helps to lubricate the joint, reduce friction, and decrease pain.
Anti-inflammatory properties: HA has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. This means that it can help to reduce inflammation in the joint, which can also help to reduce pain.
Stimulates cartilage production: Some studies have shown that HA may stimulate cartilage production in the joint.
Platelet Rich Plasma Injections
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated source of platelets and growth factors derived from your own blood. It has emerged as a promising treatment for various musculoskeletal conditions, including joint pain.
Here’s how PRP works for joint pain:
Promotes healing: Platelets contain various growth factors and proteins that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. When injected into the affected joint, PRP can help to accelerate healing and reduce pain.
Reduces inflammation: PRP also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to further reduce pain and swelling in the joint.
Lubricates the joint: PRP injections can increase the production of hyaluronic acid, a natural lubricant that helps to reduce friction and wear and tear in the joint.
Deep Tissue Laser Treatment
Laser Therapy is a medically recognized treatment that uses light from a laser to treat various medical conditions. The laser emits high-intensity beams of light that are directed toward the body’s tissues. This process can help improve circulation, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation.
The Class IV Laser Difference
At JRG of Virginia, we use a state-of-the-art, deep tissue, Class IV laser that is non-invasive, painless, and a highly effective way to treat a variety of conditions. It uses a high-powered laser to penetrate deep into the tissue and stimulate healing at the cellular level. This therapy has been proven to work for chronic pain, arthritis, sports injuries, and even post-surgical recovery.

Diagnosis & Monitoring
Fluoroscopy is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to create real-time images of the internal structures of the body. It is similar to an X-ray, but instead of taking a single picture, it takes a series of images that show the body in motion.
Fluoroscopy is an important tool that we use to diagnose your joint pain.
Benefits of using fluoroscopy to treat joint pain:
- It is used to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of joint pain.
- Fluoroscopy is used to guide injections of medications into joints.
- Fluoroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure.
- Fluoroscopy provides real-time images for effectiveness.
