Brief Intro

I have a multidisciplinary approach to treating patients with spine disorders including physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, pain management, injections, and surgical intervention. Patients with failed appropriate non-surgical management are carefully assessed for their candidacy for operative intervention. If surgery is recommended, the most advanced proven techniques are utilized for treatment. Patient education takes high priority. Due to the plethora of information available on treatment of various spinal disorders, patients are often uncertain about their best treatment options. Therefore, sufficient time is spent with every patient explaining all the available treatment modalities including their advantages and disadvantages.
