Coming from Butler
The practice is at 624 Main Rd, Suite 2B, Towaco, NJ 07082 — in Towaco, in the Montville township, off Main Road. Parking is on site.
Butler is in Morris County, and the great majority of this practice's patients come from the same cluster of Morris and Essex County towns. That matters more than it sounds for vein and pain care: both usually involve a first consultation, a diagnostic step, and then treatment and follow-up over some weeks. It is care you want close by.
No referral is needed to book a consultation. If your insurance plan requires one, we will tell you when we check your benefits — before your appointment rather than after it.
What the first appointment is
A conversation and an examination. What you are experiencing, how long it has been going on, what you have already tried, and what you can no longer do. Then Dr. D'Alessio examines you and tells you what she thinks is causing it.
You will leave knowing what the problem appears to be and what the options are — including when the honest option is that you do not need a procedure.
Treatment
How it is treated
Trigger Point Injections
A fine needle into a muscle locked in spasm, to break the cycle and make rehabilitation possible. Minutes to do, and often the step that unblocks everything else.
What it involves →Joint Injections
An injection into an irritated joint to reduce pain and inflammation — and, because the response is informative, to confirm that the joint is actually the problem.
What it involves →PRP Injections
Platelet-rich plasma concentrated from your own blood and injected into a joint or tendon, to support repair rather than only suppress inflammation.

A consultation is a conversation and an examination, not a sales appointment. Dr. D’Alessio will tell you what she thinks is causing it, what can be done about it, and — when that is the honest answer — that you do not need a procedure.
