Pain Management
When to Seek Care for Chronic or Sudden Pain
We offer new minimally invasive approaches that can help many patients with chronic or sudden (acute) pain. If you are suffering from one of the following conditions and it interferes with your day-to-day life, you may benefit from additional pain management care:
- Arthritic pain, such as joint, neck or back pain
- Cancer pain, including in the bones, nerve pain or pain caused by a tumor
- Injuries, including pain caused by sports injuries, accidents and other trauma
- Lower back pain, including lumbar steroid injections and medial branch blocks
- Neurological pain, such as migraine headaches or nerve, back or neck pain
- Orthopedic pain, such as chronic knee, shoulder, elbow or foot pain

Patient Story
“My back pain was unbearable. I was so frightened, I couldn’t even think straight, but I believed in Dr. Qasim Husain’s expertise. Today, I’m mobile—walking unassisted, driving a car, walking the stairs without holding onto the railing. I’m so grateful. I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family and my entire care team at Hackensack Meridian Health.” - Gina Petillo, Little Silver, New Jersey
