Pain Management in Barnegat, NJ

Our Barnegat office brings pain management to the Route 9 corridor of southern and central Ocean County. If you live in Barnegat, Waretown or Forked River, it saves you a longer trip to Toms River or Manahawkin.

The Barnegat office is covered by the GSMC team. Christina DiPaolo, a board-certified nurse practitioner, sees patients here and works closely with our physicians. If you'd like to see Dr. Dharam Mann, he sees patients at our nearby Manahawkin and Whiting offices.

About our Barnegat office

Address: 249 S Main St, Suite 5, Barnegat Township, NJ 08005 Hours: Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm

Barnegat is an interventional pain management office. The team here evaluates back, neck, joint and nerve pain and, when it makes sense, plans image-guided treatment. Because GSMC has several offices nearby, you can also be seen in Manahawkin, Whiting or Toms River if another day or provider suits you better. One scheduling team books every office.

Services offered through this office

Your care starts with a visit here. Depending on the cause of your pain, your plan may include:

• Epidural steroid injections for sciatica and pinched nerves
• Facet joint injections for arthritis-related neck and back pain
• Radiofrequency ablation to quiet painful joint nerves for longer
• SI joint injections for low back and buttock pain
• Nerve blocks to find and treat one irritated nerve
• Trigger point injections for tight, painful muscle knots
• Genicular nerve ablation and PRP therapy for knee pain
• Spinal cord stimulation for long-lasting nerve and back pain

Other GSMC options, such as MILD, Basivertebral Nerve Ablation, SI joint fusion, embolization and InterStim/Axonics, may be arranged through another GSMC office if they fit. Some procedures are scheduled at a different location, and the team will tell you where.

Conditions we often see in Barnegat

Common reasons for a visit include low back pain and sciatica, neck pain, knee and hip arthritis, spinal stenosis and nerve pain. The team also sees people after car accidents and work injuries.

Many Barnegat patients are retirees, Parkway commuters or people who work outdoors, on the bay, in construction or in landscaping. Each has different goals. Tell the team what matters most, whether it's getting through a workday, walking the dog or sleeping through the night.

Your first visit in Barnegat

At your first visit, the team reviews your history and imaging, examines you and explains what they think is causing your pain. Many plans begin with physical therapy, activity changes and medicines. When those aren't enough, the team may talk about image-guided injections, radiofrequency ablation or, for long-standing pain, stimulator therapy. They'll explain the risks and what a realistic result looks like, and results vary from person to person. If you see a primary care doctor or physical therapist nearby, the team coordinates with them. That matters most if you take blood thinners or have diabetes.
