Other Information
When I see a patient, I look at all aspects of
their problem and how it affects their life, their job and their family. I
also investigate how patients are sleeping and their lifestyle in general, as
these factors can have a major affect upon their recovery. For treatment,
in addition to using relatively mild non-addicting medications, I match
patients with the physical therapist who has the specific skills to best help
them. I also help patients develop the skills to deal with stress and other
issues in their life that impede their recovery. My goal is to teach people
how to help themselves get better and manage their problem over the
long term.
For patients with injuries to the neck and back, I need to see them within
a few months of the injury in order to be of the most help.
