Physical medicine refers to a category of treatments that address biomechanical disorders or pain through means that are non-surgical (and this typically excludes exercise therapy as well).
At Primary Spine & Rehab, we provide a range of highly specialized physical medicine treatments proven to greatly enhance the effects of normal physical therapy. These treatments often require injections and/or medicine, and are therefore
outside the scope of your usual physical therapy practice. However, recognizing the importance and value of these treatments, our team includes the medical credentials, specialized
equipment, and specialized training to be able to deliver the physical medicine treatments proven to achieve outcomes over and above usual physical therapy.
Treatments Including

Trigger Point Injections
Trigger points are hyper-irritable spots located in taut bands of skeletal muscles. They can impede the progress of physical therapy. These specialized injections quickly inactivate trigger points and provide prompt symptom relief.
Cortisone, Zilretta® or Lidocaine Injections
Corticosteroid injections provide rapid relief in joint pain and can be repeated as needed. Special extended-release solutions can be injected to continually release pain medication at the painful joint for three months. We perform these
injections under ultrasound guidance to ensure accuracy and maximize effectiveness. Combined with exercise therapy protocols, joint injections can be part of a treatment program for fast and lasting success.
