Diagnosis and Treatment

At Resolve Pain and Spine, joint pain diagnosis begins with taking a detailed medical history and assessing physical symptoms by performing a comprehensive physical exam. Depending on the circumstances, diagnostic imaging tests such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans may also be ordered to provide better visualization of the affected joint or joints. Our team of leading doctors recognizes that a definitive diagnosis is key to effective pain relief and will always take the time to explore and identify the potentially hidden causes behind your joint pain.

Once a diagnosis has been made, the next step is the development of an individualized treatment plan. Using a multidisciplinary approach to pain management and resolution, our Resolve Pain and Spine team often recommends a combination of complementary therapies to proactively address your joint pain. These may include integrative pain management, acupuncture, physical therapy, PRP injections, stem cell therapy, trigger point injections, and more.
