When you’re dealing with chronic arthritis pain, it’s easy to feel frustrated — especially when treatments you’ve tried don’t seem to work. At Buffalo Arthritis & Joint Pain Center (BAJC), we speak with patients every day who are searching for real answers and real results.
Whether you’ve just started exploring your options or have already tried cortisone, PT, or pain meds, here are the most common questions we hear — and the answers every Buffalo patient deserves to know.
Absolutely not. In fact, the majority of our patients come to us specifically to avoid surgery. Our non-surgical, drug-free approach focuses on reducing inflammation, stimulating your body’s healing process, and restoring function.
Cortisone is a short-term anti-inflammatory solution. It may reduce pain temporarily, but it does not repair tissue or stop degeneration. Over time, it can even weaken the joint. Our treatments aim to promote actual healing — not just numb the pain.
Our “Life Without Joint Pain” protocol is completely personalized and may include advanced treatments like SoftWave Therapy, regenerative injections, and PRP — all designed to help your joints heal naturally without surgery or pills.
Many patients begin to notice relief within just a few visits. Results vary based on your condition and how long you’ve had it, but our goal is long-term improvement, not a quick fix.
Yes — we specialize in helping seniors and active adults 55+ who want to stay mobile, independent, and avoid joint replacement surgery.
If you’ve been told that you need to just live with the pain — or wait until things get bad enough for surgery — don’t accept that as your only option.
