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 13 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
procedure suite within 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.
