Pain Management in Whiting, NJ

Our Whiting office serves Manchester Township and the communities of western Ocean County. Many of our patients here are retirees in the nearby adult communities. Many others are working people who'd rather not drive to the shore for a doctor's visit. Either way, our goal is the same: find the source of your pain and build a plan you can live with.

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.

About our Whiting office

Address: 1100 NJ-70, Entrance B, Whiting, NJ 08759 Hours: Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm

Whiting is one of our larger offices. Pain management and rheumatology providers work side by side here. That helps when joint pain has more than one cause, such as wear-and-tear arthritis plus an inflammatory condition.

For many people in Manchester, a back or hip problem first shows up in everyday life: walking the clubhouse loop, standing in line at the store, getting in and out of the car or sleeping through the night. Tell us what matters most to you. We use those goals, not just a number on a pain scale, to judge whether treatment is working.

GSMC does not perform open spine or joint surgery. Our focus is non-surgical and minimally invasive care.

Services offered through this office

Your plan begins with an exam here. It may include:

• The MILD procedure for lumbar spinal stenosis that makes walking hard
• Epidural steroid injections for sciatica and leg pain
• Radiofrequency ablation for arthritic spine joints, and genicular nerve ablation for knees
• Nerve blocks to pinpoint an irritated nerve
• Spinal cord stimulation for long-lasting nerve pain
• Basivertebral Nerve Ablation and minimally invasive SI joint fusion
• PRP therapy and knee, shoulder and hip embolization
• InterStim and Axonics for bladder and bowel control

Some procedures are scheduled at a different GSMC office, and our staff will tell you where.

Conditions we often see in Whiting

Common reasons for a visit include spinal stenosis, low back pain, sciatica, neck pain, knee and hip arthritis, compression fractures from bone loss, and nerve pain from diabetes or shingles. Our rheumatology team in the same office treats rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.

Many Whiting patients take blood thinners or manage diabetes or heart disease. We coordinate with your primary care doctor, cardiologist and other specialists, because these conditions affect when and how a procedure can be done safely.

Your first visit in Whiting

Plan to bring a full medicine list, including vitamins and supplements. At your visit, we'll ask about your pain and your daily routine, check how you walk and move, and review your imaging. Then we'll explain what we think is causing your pain and the options that fit. If a family member helps with your care, you're welcome to bring them. A second set of ears helps when we talk through choices, risks and what to expect.
