My Pain Management Practice





I am a Trigger Point Therapist practicing in Verona, NJ, a location convenient for people in Essex, Morris, Bergen, Passaic, and Middlesex counties of New Jersey.  Some patients come from Princeton, Trenton, Philadelphia and other places beyond the immediate area because no therapist with proper training is close.  The goal of my practice is pain relief, improved posture, freedom of movement, and helping people understand and deal with the factors in their lives that may perpetuate their pain problems.  I keep up-to-date by attending Continuing Medical Education (CME) courses and medical conferences each year.  You can reach me at (973) 943-6129 or joe@painpatterns.com.

    This page is part of a larger website intended to educate people about trigger point bodywork and other methods of non-invasive, drug-free pain relief.  Myofascial therapy was developed by physicians in the last few decades.  Its primary purpose is to eliminate myofascial pain, but it also improves movement and posture.

    I offer myofascial treatment and pain management services for the Rahway, Old Bridge, Woodbridge or Edison area of central NJ, though I am not immediately nearby. If you live in a town such as Dunellen, East Brunswick, Rahway or Middlesex NJ I would still be the closest certified therapist. Somerset, Springfield and Woodbridge NJ also fall into this category, as do Cranbury, Kendall Park and Old Bridge NJ, and much of the rest of New Jersey. Somewhat distant towns are mentioned because I have seen many times that people are glad to travel even several hours to get rid of pain. If you live elsewhere you may be able to find a practitioner nearby
