For many people on Long Beach Island and in southern Ocean County, seeing a pain specialist used to mean a long drive north. Our Manahawkin office brings that care close to home, just a few minutes from the causeway.
GSMC is led by Dr. Dharam Mann, who completed fellowships in pain management, cardiac anesthesia and critical care at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard.
Dr. Dharam Mann, a board-certified interventional pain specialist, sees patients at this office. Other members of our pain team see patients here too.
About our Manahawkin office
Address: 1109 Beacon Ave, Manahawkin, NJ 08050 Hours: Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm
This office sits right behind HMH Southern Ocean Medical Center. That's handy if you've already had X-rays, an MRI or other tests at the hospital. Bring the reports, or tell us where the tests were done, and we can often avoid repeating them.
Life in southern Ocean County has a strong seasonal rhythm, and pain often follows it. Many people push through the busy summer and then find their back or knees worse by fall. Our staff can help you plan visits and any procedures around work, travel and family.
Our focus is non-surgical, image-guided care. GSMC does not perform open spine or joint surgery.
Services offered through this office
After an exam here, your plan may include:
- Epidural steroid injections for sciatica from a herniated disc
- Facet joint injections and nerve blocks for back and neck pain
- Radiofrequency ablation for arthritis-related pain that keeps coming back
- SI joint injection and minimally invasive SI joint fusion
- PRP therapy and knee embolization for knee arthritis
- PRP for sports injuries in Toms River & Manahawkin for active adults
- Spinal cord stimulation, MILD and Basivertebral Nerve Ablation for long-lasting back and leg pain
- InterStim and Axonics for bladder and bowel control
Some procedures are scheduled at a different GSMC office. We'll tell you where.
Conditions we often see in Manahawkin
Years of boating, fishing, clamming and construction work can wear on the spine and joints. Here we often see disc and facet joint pain, sciatica, neck pain from overhead work, arthritic knees and hips, and nerve pain. We also see people after car accidents on Route 72 and the Parkway, and seasonal workers whose pain flares during the summer rush.
Who we are: the Manahawkin office is one of seven run by Garden State Medical Center. See what does a pain doctor do? See knee pain treatment without surgery.
Your first visit in Manahawkin
At your first visit, we review your history and any imaging, examine you and explain what we think is driving the pain. Many plans begin with physical therapy, activity changes and medicines. If those aren't enough, we may talk about an injection, nerve ablation or, for long-standing nerve pain, a stimulator trial. We'll explain the benefits and risks of each one and what a realistic result looks like. Results vary from person to person. If you take a blood thinner or have diabetes, tell us early so we can plan safely with your primary care doctor.
