Joint Pain Treatment New Jersey

Find Relief From Painful, Stiff, and Aching Joints

Joint pain can make everyday activities feel like a challenge. Walking, climbing stairs, reaching overhead, getting out of a chair, or even sleeping comfortably may become difficult when a joint is inflamed or damaged.

Whether your pain developed gradually from arthritis or began after an injury, finding the right diagnosis is the first step toward lasting relief.

For nearly 30 years, Dr. Todd Koppel has helped patients throughout New Jersey treat joint pain using personalized, minimally invasive treatment options. His goal is always to reduce pain, improve function, and help patients avoid surgery whenever possible.

What Causes Joint Pain?

Joint pain can develop for many different reasons.

Some of the most common include:

• Osteoarthritis
• Tendon injuries
• Ligament injuries
• Bursitis
• Sports injuries
• Overuse injuries
• Cartilage damage
• Previous fractures
• Inflammatory joint conditions

Because different conditions require different treatments, Dr. Todd Koppel begins with a thorough evaluation before recommending a treatment plan.

Joints Dr. Koppel Treats

• Knee — osteoarthritis, post-injury pain, failed conservative care
• Hip — arthritis, bursitis, joint degeneration
• Shoulder — rotator cuff conditions, arthritis, impingement
• Facet joints of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine
• Sacroiliac joints
• Ankle, foot, hand, and wrist joints

Treatment Options

Corticosteroid Joint Injections

Delivers powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected joint, reducing swelling and improving range of motion, often within a few days.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Supplements the joint’s natural lubrication and reduces friction-related pain, particularly in osteoarthritic joints. A series of injections is given over several weeks.

PRP Therapy

PRP Therapy promotes cartilage healing and reduces chronic inflammation using concentrated growth factors from your own blood. Results take longer to develop than steroids but tend to be more durable.

Regenerative Medicine

Some patients may benefit from regenerative treatment options designed to support the body’s natural healing processes.

During your consultation, Dr. Koppel will discuss whether these therapies are appropriate based on your condition and current evidence.

Genicular Nerve Block and Ablation

For knee arthritis where pain persists despite injections, blocking the nerves that transmit pain signals from the knee can provide relief lasting a year or more after radiofrequency ablation.

Medial Branch Blocks and RFA for Spinal Joints

For facet joint pain in the spine, diagnostic medial branch blocks confirm the pain source, and radiofrequency ablation provides longer-term relief.
