Arthritis-related joint pain doesn’t just affect mobility - it can significantly impact quality of life. For patients seeking non-surgical relief, joint injections and viscosupplementation are two commonly recommended treatment options. While both can reduce pain and improve function, they work in different ways and are suited for different stages of arthritis.

Arthritis pain can make even simple daily activities feel overwhelming. For many patients, the idea of joint replacement surgery is daunting. At Midwest Sports and Interventional Spine, we focus on targeted, evidence-based treatments designed to relieve joint pain while preserving function and minimizing downtime.

Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of chronic knee pain. Genicular artery embolization (GAE) has emerged as an innovative, minimally invasive treatment option designed to target the source of inflammation and help patients experience long-lasting pain relief.

If you’re living with chronic neck, back, or leg pain, your provider may recommend an epidural steroid injection (ESI) to help reduce inflammation and provide meaningful relief. At Midwest Sports and Interventional Spine, these minimally invasive injections are performed with precision, comfort, and safety in mind. Understanding what happens during the procedure can help ease concerns and ensure you feel fully prepared.

As we age, it’s normal to feel some stiffness, aches, or reduced mobility in our joints. However, joint pain doesn’t have to be an inevitable part of getting older.

Your spine supports your entire body, protects your spinal cord, and allows for movement and flexibility. Yet, many people overlook how daily habits and weight can directly affect spinal health.

Back pain is one of the most common health concerns in the U.S., affecting millions of people each year. While physical causes like poor posture, injury, or degenerative conditions often get the spotlight, many people don’t realize that stress and mental health play a significant role in back pain as well.

When it comes to healing from musculoskeletal injuries or managing chronic joint and spine conditions, modern medicine continues to explore innovative therapies that go beyond traditional treatments. One area that has gained growing attention is orthobiologics - a category of treatments that uses substances naturally found in the body to help accelerate healing, reduce pain, and restore function.

When injuries or chronic conditions slow you down, the goal is often simple: find lasting relief and restore function without invasive surgery. That’s where regenerative medicine steps in.

Living with arthritis can be frustrating and, at times, debilitating. While medications can play a role in managing discomfort, relying solely on painkillers is not always the best long-term solution.
