“I can point to the pain, but I can’t explain why it keeps coming back.”
That is a common turning point in a clinic conversation.
You may be able to identify where discomfort is felt, but the location does not always reveal the source. A focused examination can help assess whether the driver may involve a joint, tendon, muscle, or nerve.
Persistent tingling, numbness, or weakness may call for additional diagnostic evaluation, such as an EMG, rather than assuming the painful spot tells the whole story.
Dr. Cox is a board-certified physiatrist (PM&R) and 2025 Top Atlanta Doctor. He can help you understand your findings, discuss conservative care first, and consider whether non-surgical options, including PRP, bone marrow concentrate (BMAC), ACS, APS, A*M, IRAP, or prolotherapy, are appropriate for the right candidate. Whether it is the right fit depends on your specific diagnosis, and realistic expectations matter.
