ABOUT PROSPECT SPINE AND PAIN IN NEWARK, NJ

At Prospect Spine and Pain, patients receive customized and effective treatment for managing acute and chronic pain. Serving the community since October 2021, this pain management center delivers a vital service for individuals in Newark, New Jersey, and the surrounding areas. Combining a holistic and preventative approach with extensive knowledge, interventional pain providers treat a wide range of conditions using non-surgical and minimally-invasive procedures.

UNDERSTANDING INTERVENTIONAL PAIN MANAGEMENT

Interventional pain doctors have a distinct perspective on pain management compared to other physicians that provide similar services, such as chiropractors, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists. Instead of simply addressing the condition and mitigating pain, these providers offer personalized solutions that improve overall functionality and augment the quality of life.

Patients who choose Prospect Spine and Pain gain access to accurate diagnoses and tailored non-surgical solutions at a modern facility. Regardless of the specific illness, injury, or condition causing the pain, the providers treat each patient with the utmost compassion, considering their unique needs and concerns when recommending treatments.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE TREATMENT FOR MANY CONDITIONS

Acute and chronic pain can begin in any part of the body. At Prospect Spine and Pain, the interventional pain doctors are skilled in treating issues that originate in multiple areas, including:

✔ Elbow
✔ Excessive sweating not caused by heat or exercise

✔ Foot and ankle ✔ Hand and wrist

✔ Head ✔ Hip

✔ Knee

✔ Pelvic

✔ Shoulder ✔ Spine (neck, mid-back, lower back)

Non-surgical treatments for these health issues range depending on where the patient is experiencing pain. Common pain treatment involves injecting medication either directly or intravenously into the affected area. Prospect Spine and Pain delivers injection treatments for patients experiencing pain in several parts of the body, such as the hip, knee, and shoulder. It also administers epidural steroid, facet joint, greater trochanteric bursa, myofascial trigger point, and sacroiliac joint injections.

For patients with head pain due to migraines and similar conditions, interventional pain doctors may suggest occipital nerve block treatment. Another minimally-invasive procedure is cervical and lumbar radiofrequency ablation. As the name indicates, this treatment is best suited for those with conditions causing cervical or lumbar pain, like facet arthritis, sacroiliitis, and spondylosis.

Prospect Spine and Pain is part of a long history of physicians dedicated to meeting their patients’ needs with the utmost compassion. It all started in 2001 when Dr. Alexander G. Salerno established Salerno Medical Associates to bring his parents’ values into the 21st century.

The following year, he initiated Senior Healthcare Outreach Program (SHOP), bringing back the house-call program his father, Dr. Alphonse Salerno, first established. SHOP eventually became Community Healthcare Outreach Program (CHOP Health) to expand services to those with mental health struggles. In 2010, Dr. Salerno launched the Urban Healthcare Initiative Program (UHIP) to help rectify disparities in healthcare outcomes primarily affecting people in urban communities.

To broaden primary care services, Dr. Salerno established Metropolitan Medical Group in 2014. The next year, he joined his father-in-law, Dr. Raouf Elias, at Roseville Medical Society in Newark, NJ, to aid him in caring for patients. When Dr. Elias passed in 2016, Dr. Salerno and a team of physicians carried on his legacy and continued serving this population.

North Ward Medical Arts opened in 2021, fulfilling the wish of Dr. Salerno’s mother, Dr. Svetlana Salerno, to return to her original office in Newark, NJ. This location provides services traditionally underrepresented in the region. The same year saw the establishment of Prospect Spine and Pain and two other specialty locations providing vital care to Essex County — Newark Vein and Vascular Center and North Ward Behavioral Health Center.
