Practice Philosophy

My belief is that the primary goal of managing a person’s pain is to improve function and quality of life. Reducing one’s pain can allow for improving activity, self esteem and self confidence. I treat those in pain using non-surgical techniques such as medications, physical therapy and interventional procedures. I also perform EMG’s that serve as an important tool in helping understand a person’s neurologic source of pain or dysfunction.
