Knee, shoulder, or joint pain slowing you down? At Empire Minimally Invasive Spine and Pain, our specialists provide orthopedic and joint pain care for patients in Clifton and throughout northern New Jersey — focused on finding the source of the problem and treating it with the least invasive option that works, from targeted injections to regenerative therapies, and coordinating surgical care when it’s genuinely needed.

Orthopedic and joint conditions we treat

Joint pain has many causes — overuse, injury, cartilage wear, tendon problems, and arthritis among them. At our Clifton office, we evaluate and treat a wide range of orthopedic conditions, including:

• Knee pain from arthritis, ligament and meniscus injuries, and overuse
• Shoulder pain including rotator cuff problems and impingement
• Arthritis and degenerative joint pain
• Sports and overuse injuries, sprains, strains, and tendonitis
• Work and motor-vehicle-accident injuries affecting the joints and soft tissues

How we treat joint pain in Clifton

Our approach is step-up care: identify the exact source of the pain, start with the least invasive treatment that can resolve it, and reserve surgery for when it’s truly the best option. Depending on your diagnosis, care at our Clifton office may include:

• Activity guidance and physical therapy coordination to restore strength and motion
• Image-guided joint injections to reduce inflammation and pain
• PRP and regenerative injections for appropriate candidates
• Bracing and non-surgical management for many joint and soft-tissue problems
• Coordination of minimally invasive or surgical care through the practice when a procedure is warranted
