Joint Pain Q&A

What causes joint pain?

Joint pain can develop for many reasons, ranging from everyday wear-and-tear to more complex medical conditions. Common causes include:

Arthritis
Injuries
Overuse/repetitive strain
Inflammation
Degeneration of cartilage and other joint structures

At Advanced Pain Management of Arizona, the specialists take a detailed look at your symptoms, review your medical history, and gather information about your lifestyle to pinpoint the pain's root cause.

When should I see a doctor about joint pain?

You can often resolve mild joint pain with home care using the rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE) technique and anti-inflammatory medication. However, if your pain lasts more than a few days, limits your movement, or is accompanied by swelling, redness, or warmth around the joint, it’s time to see a doctor.

Early evaluation can prevent minor issues from turning into long-term problems, so you shouldn’t ignore persistent joint pain, especially if it interferes with daily activities or sleep. For example, an untreated ligament sprain could cause long-term joint instability, or tendon injuries could develop into chronic tissue deterioration (tendinosis).

How is joint pain diagnosed?

The team at Advanced Pain Management of Arizona uses a combination of advanced diagnostic tools and hands-on evaluation to determine the cause of your joint pain.

They may order imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI scans, to look for cartilage loss, bone changes, or soft-tissue damage. Blood tests can also help rule out autoimmune or inflammatory conditions.

Once the team identifies the cause of your joint pain, they develop a personalized treatment plan for you.

What treatments are available for joint pain?

Treatment depends on the source and severity of your pain. Conservative options may include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and lifestyle modifications.

For more stubborn or severe pain, Advanced Pain Management of Arizona offers targeted interventional therapies. These include joint injections, myofascial trigger point injections, and epidural injections for related spinal pain.

Advanced procedures such as radiofrequency therapy (radiofrequency ablation) can interrupt pain signals, while biologics like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy promote healing and tissue regeneration. Spinal cord stimulation therapy can help manage chronic pain when other treatments have failed.

If joint pain is limiting your life, you don’t have to live with it. The experts at Advanced Pain Management of Arizona offer comprehensive, minimally invasive treatments designed to relieve pain and restore movement.
