Who can benefit from pain management?

• We all experience pain from time to time, whether it be a sore back after a long day, stiff knees from years of wear-and-tear, or chronic joint pain from conditions like arthritis. But when that pain starts to interfere with your daily life, it’s time to get help from Rockland Family Medical Care.
• The skilled team provides comprehensive, long-term pain management with practical, effective solutions tailored to your needs. They take the time to understand your pain — not just where it hurts, but how it affects your sleep, your work, your hobbies, and your overall quality of life.
• From there, they can start to build a picture of what’s going on and recommend next steps, whether physical therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or more targeted treatments like joint injections.

What role do joint injections play in pain management?

• Joint injections are a nonsurgical treatment, often containing a corticosteroid (to reduce inflammation) and sometimes a local anesthetic (to provide quick pain relief). They are designed to help you move better, feel better, and return to daily life with less discomfort. They can reduce inflammation and relieve pain in a specific area, such as the:
  • Knees
  • Shoulders
  • Hips
  • Wrists
  • Hands
  • Ankles

When are joint injections a good option for pain management?

Joint injections can be very effective for people with:

• Osteoarthritis
• Bursitis
• Tendonitis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Certain injuries or repetitive strain issues

Rockland Family Medical Care might recommend a joint injection if other approaches (like over-the-counter meds or physical therapy) haven’t brought enough relief or you’re dealing with a flare-up. The team doesn’t just treat the pain — they treat you. That means considering your entire health history, your goals, and how your pain fits into the bigger picture of your life.

We may also suggest:

• Stretching and strengthening exercises
• Nutritional guidance (especially if inflammation or weight is a factor)
• Mental health support, if chronic pain is affecting your mood or energy
• Referrals to specialists like orthopedic doctors, pain clinics, or physical therapists when needed
