FAQ
Common Questions About Back Pain Treatment in Newark, NJ
Are back pain injections painful?
Most patients feel a quick pinch at most. The area is numbed first, and the whole procedure only takes a few minutes.
How long does it take for injections to work?
It varies. Some people feel relief within a few days, while others notice improvement over one to two weeks as inflammation calms down.
Will I need surgery for my back pain?
Not always, and often not at all. We start with conservative and non-surgical treatments first, and only talk about surgery if those don’t bring enough relief.
Does insurance cover back pain treatment in Newark, NJ?
Most major plans are accepted, Medicare included, though what’s covered depends on your plan and diagnosis. Before you arrive, our team can assist you in checking your benefits.
How do I know if I should see a pain specialist?
If your back pain has stuck around for a few weeks, gotten in the way of everyday life, or hasn’t budged with rest, it’s a good time to have someone take a closer look.
