Services
Pain Management
Our board-certified physiatrists specialize in comprehensive pain management for chronic and acute conditions. Using advanced techniques like epidural steroid injections and radiofrequency ablation, we target pain from musculoskeletal disorders, nerve damage, and post-injury complications. Treatment plans combine medication management with rehabilitative strategies to improve function and quality of life.
Physical Rehabilitation
We develop personalized rehabilitation programs for patients with neurological injuries and musculoskeletal impairments. Our approach addresses mobility limitations from spinal cord injuries, strokes, and orthopedic trauma through targeted therapy and adaptive equipment. The goal is restoring patients' ability to perform daily activities and return to work or recreational pursuits.
Epidural Steroid Injections
This targeted treatment delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to spinal nerve roots causing pain. Our physicians use fluoroscopic guidance for precise placement in cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions. Patients report significant pain reduction (8-10 to 1-2 pain scale) lasting 1-2 months per injection, improving mobility and function.
Medical Legal Evaluations
Our certified professionals conduct impartial medical evaluations for legal cases. Services include comprehensive physical exams, medical record analysis, and impairment ratings using standardized guidelines. Detailed reports provide objective assessments of causation, prognosis, and treatment recommendations for workers' compensation and personal injury cases.
Ambulatory Surgery
Our accredited surgery center offers cost-effective outpatient procedures with 40-60% lower costs than hospitals. Specializing in pain management surgeries like spinal cord stimulation and intrathecal pump implantation, we provide same-day care with local anesthesia. Patients benefit from shorter wait times, convenient parking, and personalized post-operative follow-up.
