The joints in our body enable us to move in many different, complex ways. Our joints are comprised of many parts – such as cartilage, ligaments, tendons, bursas, and membranes – that assist with all of our various movements.
When you experience joint pain, you may find it difficult to perform even modest daily activities. You may feel pain every time you take a step, bend down to pick something up, or otherwise move as you’re used to. If you’re suffering from joint discomfort, we can help to alleviate your pain.
Jersey Premier Pain is a pain management clinic located in Jersey City, NJ, and one of our specialties includes joint pain. Our goal is to give our patients the best care imaginable so they can get back to a healthy lifestyle. Give us a call at 201-386-8800 to schedule an appointment. We’re ready to help you enjoy life again.
Why You Need a Specialist
Over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs are possibly home remedies you’ve already tried. If the joint discomfort is continuous, and you’re tired of the pain, it may be time to seek medical intervention. Through physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic care, and other forms of treatment, we can help you feel like yourself again.
Though joint pain is rarely a sign of an emergency, you should seek medical care if you’re experiencing:
- Redness, tenderness or warmth near the pain
- Swelling of the joints
- Joint deformity or loss of mobility in the joint due to injury

Cases We Handle
There are many reasons for joint pain, but we can help diagnose the cause of your pain to treat your specific symptoms. Here are some of the most common reasons you could be experiencing joint pain:
Arthritis
By far, the most common reason for joint pain and discomfort is arthritis. Arthritis is an inflammatory disease that leads to tenderness, stiffness, and general pain in the joints. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis that could cause different symptoms. Everyone is susceptible to arthritis, making it the leading cause of disability in the United States.
The pain that arthritis causes can be from:
- Ligament damage
- Joint fusion
- Muscle weakness or strain
- Bone erosion
There are so many different versions of arthritis, that it can be difficult to pinpoint which one you’re experiencing. At Jersey Premier Pain, we can give you an accurate diagnosis to find what can best be done to treat the pain.
Injury
Joint pain can easily be the result of an injury. If the pain is chronic but not severe, massage therapy and other treatments we offer can get you back on track. However, if the pain is intense or coupled with sudden swelling, tenderness, or joint deformity, seek medical attention immediately.
Tendinitis
A tendon is a thick cord attaching your muscles to your bones. When this cord becomes inflamed, you’re experiencing tendinitis. Other, more common names for tendinitis include tennis elbow, pitcher’s shoulder, etc. Though this is often a sudden injury, it’s usually the result of constant repetitive motions. Physical therapy is a common treatment for tendinitis.
Chondromalacia Patellae
Chondromalacia patellae, more commonly known as runner’s knee, is when cartilage beneath the kneecap begins to deteriorate. Cartilage in our joints keeps our movements smooth and doesn’t allow our bones to rub against each other. While almost anyone can get runner’s knee, it’s more common in those who are already diagnosed with arthritis. One of the main treatment options is physical therapy.
Other Causes
Many different ailments can cause joint pain, and we treat the symptoms for most of them. Other potential causes of joint pain that we help treat include:
- Lupus
- Bursitis
- Fibromyalgia
- Osteoporosis
- Cancer
- Bone or joint infection
