Pain Management in Brick, NJ

Our Brick office serves northern Ocean County, the beach towns and the southern edge of Monmouth County. It brings pain management and rheumatology together under one roof. If you live in Brick or nearby, you can see a specialist without heading to Toms River.

The Brick office is covered by the GSMC team. That team includes an interventional pain physician and a rheumatologist. The team here follows the same careful, non-surgical approach we use at every GSMC office. If you'd like to see Dr. Dharam Mann, our Toms River office is the closest place where he sees patients.

About our Brick office

Address: 1608 NJ-88, Suite 102, Brick Township, NJ 08724 Hours: Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm

What makes Brick different is the pairing of pain care and rheumatology. When a joint is swollen, stiff or sore, the cause may be mechanical, like worn cartilage, or inflammatory, like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis or gout. Sometimes it's both. Having both specialties in one office makes it simpler to sort that out and take the next step.

Services offered through this office

After an exam with the GSMC team here, your plan may include:

• Epidural steroid injections for sciatica and pinched nerves
• Facet joint injections and radiofrequency ablation for arthritis in the spine
• SI joint injections for low back and buttock pain
• Nerve blocks to pinpoint an irritated nerve
• Genicular nerve ablation and PRP therapy for knee and joint pain
• Spinal cord stimulation for long-lasting nerve pain
• Rheumatology care for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions

More advanced options, such as MILD, Basivertebral Nerve Ablation, minimally invasive SI joint fusion and embolization, are available through GSMC. If one of them fits, the team will explain who performs it and where. Some procedures are scheduled at a different GSMC office.

Conditions we often see in Brick

Many Brick patients have low back pain or sciatica, neck pain from desk work or old injuries, knee or hip arthritis, or pain after a car accident. Others come for a rheumatology visit because of swollen, stiff joints or abnormal blood tests.

Brick and the nearby beach towns are full of active adults who want to keep surfing, golfing, gardening and working. Tell the team which activities matter most. They'll use those goals to shape your plan.

Back pain doctor in Brick

Low back pain and sciatica are common reasons Brick patients come in. Dr. Samir Jani, an interventional pain management physician, sees patients at this office. Your visit starts with an exam and a review of any imaging you already have, then a plan that fits the cause, which may include physical therapy, epidural steroid injections or radiofrequency ablation.

Your first visit in Brick

At your first visit, the team reviews your history, medicines and imaging, examines you and explains what they think is causing your symptoms. Many plans start with physical therapy, home exercise and medicines. When more is needed, options may include image-guided injections, radiofrequency ablation or, for long-lasting nerve pain, stimulator therapy. For inflammatory arthritis, treatment may include medicines from our rheumatology team. The team will go over risks and realistic expectations. Results vary from person to person. If you already see a primary care doctor or other specialist, the team coordinates with them.
