We've previously talked about medial branch blocks, which is a specific type of joint block. But what are joint blocks?

Joint blocks are targeted injections often used to help pinpoint where pain is really coming from, especially when scans don’t tell the full story.

They can help doctors work out whether pain is coming from certain spinal joints, which is often felt in the lower back and may sometimes spread down into the leg.

By temporarily numbing a specific joint, we can see whether your pain changes and use that information to guide the next step in your treatment.

Clearer answers can help with targeted care. ✅

Prolotherapy is one of the injection options considered when symptoms relate to irritated ligaments, tendons or joints. It uses a small amount of dextrose to create a controlled healing response in the area. 💉

It is often used as an alternative to cortisone injections, which may weaken connective tissue with long-term use.

If you'd like to learn more about this treatment option, we have more information on our website mskpain.com.au

PRP (Platelet‑Rich Plasma) injections are a treatment option that involves a concentrated part of your own blood being injected into or around the injury site. PRP is sometimes used to manage joint, tendon, or muscle pain. 🩸

It aims to support the body’s natural healing process rather than provide instant pain relief.

*Note that PRP Therapy is not a quick fix, and it is not suitable for all conditions or all patients, so ask your doctor or discuss with a pain specialist whether it is appropriate for you and/or your procedure.

Many people assume pain means they need a scan - but for most everyday back, neck and joint pain, that’s not the case. Current guidelines show that a good assessment and understanding your symptoms is usually more helpful than jumping straight to imaging.

There are times when scans matter, especially if certain warning signs are present. Health professionals can help work out what’s right for your situation.

Pain is rarely just physical, so your treatment shouldn’t be one‑dimensional.

An interdisciplinary approach treats the whole person, not simply the pain. It brings together medical care, movement rehab, psychological strategies, and self‑management support to help you move better, feel more confident, and reclaim your life.

Real progress happens when the whole person is supported. 💛

♨️ With the warmer weather settling in, you may notice your pain or fatigue feels a little more pronounced. Heat can place extra demand on the body, and for some people this can make pain symptoms more noticeable.

If you’re planning to stay active this summer, gentle pacing can make a meaningful difference. Try one of these heat-safe activities to keep yourself moving through summer without suffering heat stress.

Small, consistent steps often support better comfort - and better outcomes - than pushing through all at once! 🙌

Living with chronic pain doesn’t mean giving up on movement. In fact, gentle, paced exercise may help reduce pain over time and rebuild strength.

Start slow, go steady 💪

Key things to remember include:

✅ taking a systematic approach to exercise
✅ understanding that a little discomfort is okay if it eases soon after - pain doesn't always mean damage!
✅ listening to your body.

With the right approach, exercise can help manage chronic pain, improve strength, and restore confidence.

If you need assistance on your exercise journey, seek guidance from a physiotherapist or exercise physiologist trained in pain management.
