Joint Pain Treatments in Utah
Joint pain may involve one or multiple joints and varies in presentation. Some pains are constant while others come and go. It may present as a dull ache or throbbing sensation or it may be a sharp, stabbing, or burning sensation. The presentation and quality of the pain gives clues to identify the underlying etiology of the pain. Understanding the root cause of pain is essential to providing effective therapies and long-lasting pain relief. On occasion, other symptoms may accompany joint pain, including:
- Stiffness
- Swelling
- Redness
- Warmth
- Restricted Mobility
