Find Relief and Restore Mobility
Joint pain can significantly impact your quality of life, making it difficult to perform everyday activities and enjoy the things you love. Whether your joint pain is due to injury, arthritis, or another condition, Med Matrix offers advanced treatments designed to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility.
Understanding Joint Pain and Treatment Options
Joint pain can affect any part of the body where two bones meet, from the hands and wrists to the knees and hips. The pain may be mild, causing discomfort with movement, or severe, limiting mobility and leading to disability. Common causes of joint pain include arthritis, inflammation, and injuries. Arthritis pain, especially in forms like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, is prevalent among older adults. To help relieve pain, various treatment options are available, including over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen and topical treatments such as creams containing capsaicin.
Exercise and regular physical activity can also play a crucial role in managing joint pain. Engaging in low-impact exercises helps improve range of motion and strengthen the muscles around the affected joint. Maintaining a healthy weight is essential, as excess weight can increase stress on the joints, exacerbating pain and stiffness. Additionally, incorporating anti-inflammatory foods, such as omega-3 fatty acids and turmeric, into your diet may help reduce inflammation and improve overall joint health.
For those experiencing chronic pain or severe symptoms of joint pain, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. Treatment plans may include physical therapy, injections, or even joint replacement surgery for severely damaged joints. Using heating pads or paraffin wax treatments can also ease pain and improve comfort in painful joints. Always consider discussing treatment options with your doctor to find the most effective pain management strategy tailored to your needs.
Common Causes of Joint Pain
Joint pain can result from factors like arthritis, inflammation, and injury, with osteoarthritis being a common cause, especially in the knees. Symptoms include stiffness, swelling, and discomfort, which can reduce quality of life, making proper diagnosis and treatment crucial.
Inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis can also lead to painful joints. Anti-inflammatory medications, including over-the-counter pain relievers, may help alleviate pain and inflammation. Regular physical activity is vital for joint health and can ease pain.
Treatment options may include topical treatments, injections, or joint replacement surgery for severe cases. Heating pads or paraffin wax can also provide relief. If you have joint pain, consult a healthcare professional to develop a tailored treatment plan.

EXCELLENT Based on 112 reviews Posted on Shelby TarboxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a great introductory experience at Med Matrix today. The staff in South Portland, Maine was so friendly, personable and really put me at ease. They took the time to explain the process of my first visit and what to expect moving forward. I’m so glad my husband recommended their office to me!Posted on Kimberly M StanleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s extremely important to have proper blood panels done to detect risk factors. Dr. Sasha Rose went over my test results, she listens and shared great advice on a few holistic supplements and a hormone treatment plan. I’m happy with my decision to start my journey with Med Matrix, Dr. Rose and kind attentive staff!Posted on Myron GreeneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I felt rushed, after Driving over 2 hours, to only be able to spend a half hour doing the Exams, I thought I was meeting with Bill after the Exams, to discuss what the Tests will Reveal, I had a great Discussion with Bill, the day Before!Posted on Jack RenaldsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love having access to peptides and advanced testing that my pcp wouldnt do. Team there is super knowledgeable, supportive and kind!Posted on Joanne AllardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was impressed with Dr Gabe...he took the time to help me understand my results and what changes I need to make for improvement. Also Jamie the nurse was informative and easy to talk to. They both made me feel at ease.Posted on Mark BridschgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From being greeting in the lobby ...having my body scanned and have my labs done was quick easy and proficient. Chantel was a pleasure....Posted on Mark JagoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thorough, thoughtful and thankful. I am writing an additional and updated review now that I have been with MedMatrix for five months. Collin Dees, PA, continues to be very thorough in going over my test results and discussing the issues I've presented. His thoughtfulness and personableness in answering my questions and explaining things is so positively different than the previous doctors I've had over the years. And Jamie Pirini, RN, has been absolutely amazing at setting up appointments, lab work, and listening to my concerns. For this and more, I remain thankful for MedMatrix.Posted on Stephanie HurdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been searching for a homeopathic place that focused on the whole body instead of just a lengthy list of diagnosis’s and meds thrown at me. I found med matrix and the discovery call I had not only gave me hope, but made me feel like somewhere, someone cared more than a 15 minute appointment. I drove 3 hours to go to my first appointment yesterday. I was greeted by two staff who were incredibly kind and supportive. The nurse who did my scan and took my blood was genuinely kind, receptive to my questions, and used humor which is my language. I am bad with remembering names but her brother and I share the same birthday and you could tell her love for people and to help them was pure. Surely can update after meeting with the Dr. to go over results for those who are wondering, but as of right now this is the first time I’ve felt even seen in a Dr. facility. I highly recommend.Posted on Paul NoelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always a good experience at Med Matrix. Though I still have issues ongoing, i need to find solutions, they try very willinh to help figure things out...With ME as a team.
