Chronic pain management is diagnosis-driven orthopedic care for adults in Jupiter, Wellington, and greater Palm Beach County living with back, joint, or nerve pain that has lasted three months or longer. Board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mamun Al Rashid identifies the root cause of your pain first, then builds a treatment plan from physical rehabilitation to minimally invasive procedures to regenerative options like PRP matched to your diagnosis.
What Is Chronic Pain?
Pain is considered chronic when it lasts three months or longer, whether it’s constant or comes and goes. Common causes include arthritis and joint degeneration, spinal disc problems, nerve injury (neuropathy), tendon or ligament damage, and injuries that didn’t fully resolve. Left unaddressed, chronic pain can lead to reduced mobility, sleep problems, and emotional strain which is why an accurate diagnosis matters more than jumping straight to a procedure.
Signs You May Benefit From a Specialist Evaluation
- Pain that has lasted more than three months despite rest, ice, or over-the-counter medication
- Pain that’s limiting your work, sleep, exercise, or daily activities
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness alongside the pain
- Joint or back pain that never fully resolved after an injury
- Relying on pain medication for ongoing relief without lasting improvement
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth having a specialist evaluate the actual source of the pain rather than continuing to manage symptoms alone.

Our Approach to Chronic Pain Management
1. Comprehensive Evaluation & Diagnosis
We start with a physical exam, a review of your medical history, and imaging (X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound) when needed to identify the actual source of your pain not just the symptom. This determines which of the options below, if any, make sense for you.
2. Conservative Care First
For many patients, the right starting point is physical therapy, activity modification, and non-invasive treatment. We don’t default to injections or procedures when conservative care is likely to work.
3. Minimally Invasive & Interventional Procedures
When conservative care isn’t enough, targeted, image-guided injections and interventional techniques can reduce inflammation, calm irritated nerves, and improve mobility with less downtime than surgery.
4. Regenerative Orthobiologic Options (PRP)
Some patients with joint or tendon-related pain particularly knee osteoarthritis may be candidates for platelet-rich plasma (PRP), prepared from your own blood in-office. Multiple clinical research reviews have found PRP can offer short- to medium-term improvement in pain and function for certain joint conditions, though the overall quality of evidence is still described by researchers as low to moderate, and PRP is not the right option for every patient or every type of pain (PubMed systematic review, 2019; PubMed meta-analysis, 2025). We’ll walk you through whether the evidence supports it for your specific diagnosis we don’t market it as a guaranteed cure, because it isn’t one.
5. Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation
For lasting results, we pair procedures with physical rehabilitation, activity coaching, and follow-up the goal is function, not just a single injection.

A Note on Regenerative Treatments
PRP is prepared from your own blood (autologous) and is regulated differently than manufactured biologic drug products. Regenerative orthobiologic treatments are not guaranteed cures, results vary by patient and condition, and not all regenerative products marketed nationally are FDA-approved for the uses they’re advertised for. We encourage every patient to ask about the evidence behind any treatment we recommend. This page is for general educational purposes and isn’t a substitute for a one-on-one medical evaluation. If you’re experiencing a medical emergency, call 911.
