I believe that to treat pain effectively, one must address its physical, emotional, and psychological aspects.  I focus on finding the physical cause of pain, while making the patient aware of any emotional or psychological aspects for its cause.  Pain is personal, but its treatment takes the engagement of both the patient and physician.  My goal is to improve functional capabilities through a combination of strategies including medical and interventional treatments, physical therapy, and other modalities such as acupuncture and massages.
