We Have the Right Treatment for Your Chronic Pain

The pain management specialists at Valley Medical and Wellness recommend a variety of interventional therapies, depending on your pain symptoms and origins. These include:

Viscosupplementation

Viscosupplementation treats osteoarthritis of the knees or shoulders. Osteoarthritis is characterized by a breakdown of cartilage that cushions the space between bones at the joints. Usually, osteoarthritis occurs due to natural aging and wear and tear. Viscosupplementation injects hyaluronic acid into your joints, supplying lubrication for smooth movement between bones.

Steroid Injections
(Large and Small Joint Injections)

Steroid injections, or large and small joint injections, provide a steroid injection along with a numbing agent in the joint to reduce inflammation in order to reduce pain in joints that have been injured or damaged due to arthritis or injury. Steroid injections are also used to treat painful tendons or bursitis, which is when the small fluid-filled sac that cushions the joint gets painfully inflamed. The joints most often injected are the shoulder, elbow, knee, hand, wrist or hip.

Trigger Point Injections

Trigger point injections are injected directly into painful soft tissue (muscle), versus a joint. Trigger point injections use both numbing agents and steroids to relieve pain and help release the tension in the soft tissue.

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy is another type of injectable treatment which involves the injection of natural substances found in the body, such as dextrose and saline, and a numbing agent to trigger your body’s natural healing response.

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT)

OMT uses hands-on techniques to stretch muscles and move joints to promote healing and relieve pain.

Buprenorphine Treatment

Buprenorphine is an opioid often used to relieve chronic pain. Opioids attach to the pain receptors in the brain to block pain signals. Valley Medical is one of the few clinics in Minnesota to offer buprenorphine and related opioids for pain management.

Our providers often recommend buprenorphine and related medications alongside other pain management therapies.
