Headaches
Arthritis
Degenerative diseases that cause neck pain include osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis usually occurs in older people as a result of wear on the joints between the neck bones. Rheumatoid arthritis can cause destruction of the joints of the neck. Both major types of arthritis can cause neck stiffness and pain.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia syndrome is an arthritis-like condition characterized by neuromuscular pain and fatigue. The word fibromyalgia means pain in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. According to the latest statistics, about 6 million Americans have fibromyalgia, most of them females between 35 and 65. It is often referred to as a syndrome because it is a group of signs and symptoms that occur together.
Plantar Fasciitis
Rheumatology
Fibromyalgia was first described by the American College of Rheumatology in 1990 when rheumatologists presented their two main criteria for diagnosing it: history of pain (on both sides of the body, above and below the waist) for at least three months and pain in at least 11 of 18 tender-point sites lined up symmetrically along the body.

Internal Medicine
Many patients need long-term support and care. They need the benefits of my background in Internal Medicine, board certification in anesthesiology and pain management and my fellowship training in pain management.
Interstitial Cystitis
Interstitial cystitis is an ongoing bladder problem that causes an urgency to urinate, frequent urination, and pain. Episodes may come and go. Although there is no cure for interstitial cystitis, there are a variety of treatments that can help to... Read More

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common condition that affects the hand and wrist. It occurs when the Median Nerve in the wrist is compressed. Nerves carry messages between our brains, spinal cord, and body parts. The Median Nerve carries signals for sensation and... Read More
Multiple Sclerosis
The condition was surrounded by controversy for years, however, because those diagnosed have perfectly normal blood tests. Their symptoms are often similar to the symptoms present in lupus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and certain immune dysfunction diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome.

Mental Health
This Notice of Privacy Practices describes how we may use and disclose your Protected Health Information (PHI) to carry out treatment, payment or health care operations (TPO) and for other purposes that are permitted or required by law. It also describes your rights to access and control your protected health information. "Protected health information" is information about you, including demographic information, that may identify you and that relates to your past, present or future physical or mental health or condition and related health care services.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy is used to minimize muscle pain and movement dysfunction. Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to deliver deep heat to the treated tissues. The treatments may help reduce stiffness, swelling, and pain, increase circulation, and promote pain-free movement. Ultrasound... Read More
MRI
X-rays are used to see the condition of your bones and joints, and to identify areas of arthritis or bone spurs. The tissues that surround the joint do not show up on an X-ray. In this case, a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan may be requested to get a better view of the soft tissue structures, such as ligaments, tendons, and cartilage.
X-Rays
Chemotherapy
An injury, illness, chemotherapy, bed rest, inactivity, or disease may change the amount of control that you have over moving your body. Alterations in your health status may result in poor endurance, decreased muscle movement, paralysis, and loss of balance,... Read More

Sciatica
The sciatic nerve is the thickest and longest nerve in your body. The sciatic nerve extends from your lower back down to your feet. If the sciatic nerve is compressed or inflamed, a painful condition called Sciatica can result. Symptoms... Read More
Whiplash
Not all headaches require medical care. Many common tension headaches can be treated with OTC medications such as Tylenol® or ibuprofen. But other headaches are signals of more serious disorders and call for prompt medical attention. These include sudden, severe headache or sudden headache from a stiff neck, headache associated with fever, convulsions, confusion or loss of consciousness, headaches following a blow to the head or a whiplash-type injury. Headaches associated with pain in the eye or ear, persistent headaches in people who were previously headache-free and recurring headaches in children should also receive prompt medical attention.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Generally, traditional open joint surgeries take several months to heal, depending on the joint. Minimally invasive surgery and arthroscopic surgery use smaller incisions and typically heal in a shorter amount of time, from several weeks to a few months. Your doctor may restrict your activity for a short time following your surgery. In most cases, rehabilitation is recommended to mobilize and strengthen the joint.
Joint Replacement
In advanced arthritis, the damaged joint can be replaced with an artificial one. Artificial joints are made of metal, plastic, ceramics, or a combination of the materials. The material selected depends on the reason for the surgery, as well as which joint is being replaced. Joint replacement can provide significant pain relief and improved mobility.
Arthritis Surgery
Recovery from arthritis surgery is very individualized. Your recovery time will depend on the extent of your condition, the joint that was involved, and the type of surgery that you had. Your doctor will let you know what you may expect.
Hip Replacement
When you need surgery to replace a damaged or diseased hip, some orthopedic surgeons have advanced training to perform anterior hip arthroplasty, also known as the direct anterior approach to hip replacement. This procedure is considered... Read More

Botox
BOTOX® is useful for more than smoothing out wrinkles. In fact, it is indicated for treating painful muscle spasms and contractions in the neck (cervical dystonia), tension headaches, migraine headaches, back pain, and myofascial pain. BOTOX injections are used to... Read More

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
Once we discover the cause of your pain, our dual board-certified anesthesiologists and fellowship-trained pain management specialists offer you a variety of treatments to help reduce neuropathic pain. Our comprehensive care includes minimally invasive pain blocks, spinal cord stimulation, intrathecal pain pumps, plus physical therapy, psychological support, behavioral modification and medication management. If interventional care is sought early enough, neuropathic pain can be treated 100% effectively. If treatment is delayed, nerve damage can become irreversible.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis Elbow is a condition that results in deterioration of the tendon fibers that attach to the bone at the outside of the elbow. Tendons are strong fibers that attach muscles to bone. They are tissues that do not stretch... Read More

Aquatic Therapy
Occupational or physical therapists can help you strengthen the muscles surrounding your joint. The resulting added joint stability can help relieve pain. Aquatic therapy in a heated pool can be especially soothing. In addition, the buoyancy of the water takes stress off the joints while exercising, and the resistance of the water can help strengthening efforts. Your therapists may also apply heat to treat stiffness, and ice to decrease pain. They may recommend splints, walkers, or canes to help relieve stress on your joints. The therapists will instruct you on how to do your daily activities, such as housework and meal preparation, in a manner that puts less stress on your joints.
