Who we are:
We are a dedicated team committed to excellence in the
field of pain control headed by a fellowship-trained,
board certified pain physician with more than 10 years
in practice.
Who we treat:
We treat adults with acute and chronic back, neck, cancer,
RSD, and other pain syndromes.
What we do:
We strive for maximize function and minimize pain using
clinic-based and hospital-based procedures such as:
-
Epidural steroid injections for disc
related problems
-
Radio frequency neuro ablation of
lumbar and cervical facet joints
-
Spinal cord stimulator implantation
for leg pain
-
Intra-spinal medication pumps for
intractable pain
Where are these procedures done?
The procedures are generally done in the state-of-the-art
procedure suite in the clinic itself that maximizes
patient safety, comfort, and convenience while minimizing
patient cost. More complex procedures are performed
in a hospital out-patient setting.
