At our Physiatry Center, musculoskeletal and orthopedic problems are frequently treated non-surgically. New Jersey Brain and Spine’s physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, Dr. Chirichella and Dr. Schmaus, specialize in using non-surgical methods to reduce pain and restore function. They treat neck and back pain as well as sports injuries, shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee conditions.

Their integrated approach includes a thorough initial assessment, imaging as needed, physical therapy, home exercise, various types of injections, and non-opioid medication management. They work closely with a team of neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons in the unlikely case that surgery is required.
