Conditions we treat for patients traveling from Montclair, NJ:

Back Pain Conditions

Montclair patients dealing with back pain often assume surgery is inevitable — but most cases respond well to non-surgical care first. Our Clifton physicians identify whether the source is muscular, disc-related, or nerve-related before recommending a path forward.

Whether it’s from an old injury or gradual disc wear, neck pain can limit far more than you’d expect. We help Montclair patients get a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan focused on restoring range of motion.

Knee Pain Conditions

Knee pain can quietly limit exercise, stairs, and even sleep. Montclair patients traveling to our Clifton office get access to regenerative treatments and image-guided injections aimed at preserving the joint, not just masking pain.

Shoulder pain that lingers past a few weeks is worth a proper evaluation. Our team sees many Montclair patients dealing with rotator cuff issues, instability, and arthritis-related shoulder pain.

Elbow pain often comes down to overuse or nerve irritation. Montclair patients can get a precise diagnosis at our Clifton clinic before committing to any treatment approach.

Hand Pain Conditions

Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the hand shouldn’t be ignored. Our Clifton clinic offers Montclair patients thorough evaluation for nerve compression conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.
