OUR PHILOSOPHY: |
|
|
|
Pain
can have many causes. In the lower back for example, pain can
originate from lesions in ligaments, tears in an
intervertebral disc or arthritis in vertebral joints (facet
joints), among many others. Pain treatments are
individually designed for the specific back pain cause or
causes for each patient in particular after a thorough
Neurological examination. This is the core of our
pain treatment approach. We make it a priority to take
sufficient time to examine and fully explain the plan to each patient, the
final authority and decision maker. We avoid use of opioids
(narcotics) or surgery whenever possible. We
focus on medical science, not fashionable "one treatment fits all"
techniques such as "laser", VAX-D, "spinal decompression",
etc. |
