Advanced, Personalized Treatment for Lasting Relief

At Gerling Spine Care NJ, we specialize in providing advanced treatments for back pain to help you regain your freedom and comfort. Led by Dr. Michael Gerling, our team offers personalized care and a wide array of treatment options, including minimally invasive procedures, physical therapy, and regenerative therapies, all tailored to meet your specific needs for a faster and more comfortable recovery.

Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can stem from a variety of conditions, including:

Herniated Discs

When the soft inner portion of a spinal disc protrudes and compresses nearby nerves, it can result in pain, numbness, and weakness.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Over time, the spinal discs naturally wear down, leading to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement.

Spinal Stenosis

Narrowing of the spinal canal places pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, often causing pain, weakness, and tingling sensations.

Muscle Strain

Overuse, poor posture, or sudden movements can lead to muscle strain in the back, which may cause acute pain and discomfort.

Scoliosis

An abnormal curvature of the spine that can cause significant back pain, especially if the condition worsens over time.

Osteoarthritis

The breakdown of cartilage in the spine’s joints can result in inflammation, stiffness, and pain.

At Gerling Spine Care NJ, we perform thorough evaluations to identify the root cause of your back pain, ensuring that you receive the most effective treatment tailored to your specific condition.

Back Pain Treatment Options in New Jersey

We take a comprehensive approach to back pain treatment, focusing on the most effective and minimally invasive solutions. Depending on the severity and underlying cause of your pain, we offer a wide variety of treatment options designed to alleviate discomfort, restore mobility, and improve your overall quality of life.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

If conservative treatments such as physical therapy or medications do not provide sufficient relief, minimally invasive spine surgeries may be recommended. These procedures, such as discectomy, laminectomy, or spinal fusion, involve smaller incisions, leading to faster recovery times, reduced post-operative pain, and a lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgery.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is often a critical part of our back pain treatment approach. Our expert physical therapists will work with you to develop a customized program designed to strengthen the muscles supporting your spine, improve flexibility, and correct posture, which can help reduce pain and prevent future injuries.

Epidural Steroid Injections

For patients experiencing nerve-related pain or inflammation, epidural steroid injections can deliver effective relief by directly administering anti-inflammatory medication to the affected areas of the spine. This treatment can alleviate pain and allow for improved mobility without the need for surgery.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections

PRP injections utilize your body’s own natural healing properties to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation. This treatment is particularly beneficial for conditions such as degenerative disc disease and tendonitis, helping you recover without requiring surgery.

Regenerative Medicine

We offer innovative regenerative treatments, including stem cell therapy and bone marrow aspirate injections, designed to stimulate healing and promote tissue regeneration in the spine. These cutting-edge therapies can help reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and provide long-term relief from chronic back pain.
