Orthopedic Pain Treatment in PA & NJ
Orthopedic pain encompasses painful conditions of the joints, bones, and muscles. These conditions are extremely common and can affect the hip, knee, shoulder, sacroiliac joint, or any other joint in the body. At DVPSI, our interventional pain specialists provide targeted treatments that address the specific source of joint and musculoskeletal pain, often providing relief when conservative treatments have failed.
We treat orthopedic pain non-surgically wherever possible, using injections, nerve blocks, and radiofrequency ablation to provide meaningful long-term relief.

- Swelling or tenderness around joints
- Muscle pain or tenderness in specific areas
- Reduced range of motion in affected joints
- Pain that disrupts sleep especially when lying on the affected joint
