Non-Surgical Orthopedic Care

Who can benefit from non surgical orthopedic care?

Consider non surgical orthopedic care at Englewood Cliffs Surgery Center if you have musculoskeletal pain lasting over three months. That’s particularly true if your pain affects your mobility or keeps you from activities like work. 

Englewood Cliffs Surgery Center uses non surgical orthopedic care to manage various musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Arthritis
• Fractures (broken bones)
• Sciatica
• Neck and lower back pain
• Post-surgical neck and back pain
• Nerve pain/neuropathy

Similarly, the providers use non surgical orthopedic care to manage common musculoskeletal injuries, including work and auto accident injuries.

Are there different types of non surgical orthopedic care?

Englewood Cliffs Surgery Center offers several types of non surgical orthopedic care. They could suggest:

Epidural steroid injections

During an epidural steroid injection, your Englewood Cliffs Surgery Center provider injects pain medication into the epidural space around your spine. This relieves pain and inflammation caused by issues with the spinal nerve roots.

Nerve blocks

A nerve block is a pain management injection that numbs a group of damaged or irritated nerves. The injection provides near-instant relief, letting you move comfortably and return to your normal routine.

Radiofrequency ablation

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) uses targeted radiofrequency waves to heat and destroy damaged nerve tissue. This prevents the nerves from sending pain signals to your brain, providing long-term pain relief.

Spinal cord stimulation

Your provider might recommend spinal cord stimulation (SCS) if you have back or neck pain that doesn’t improve with injections or radiofrequency ablation. A spinal cord stimulator is an implantable device that prevents pain signals from reaching your brain.

What type of non surgical orthopedic care is right for me?

The type of non surgical orthopedic care that’s right for you depends on the cause and severity of your symptoms. 

After reviewing your medical records, discussing your symptoms, and completing a physical exam and diagnostic imaging, your Englewood Cliffs Surgery Center provider makes personalized treatment recommendations.

What if my symptoms continue after non surgical orthopedic care?

Non surgical orthopedic care is usually effective, but if your symptoms continue or worsen, Englewood Cliffs Surgery Center might recommend surgery. The providers offer minimally invasive and traditional open orthopedic surgery. No matter your needs, they always prescribe a surgical approach that presents the fewest risks.
