About me
The spine is very complex. It involves many areas of the body, including bones, discs, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, and the spinal cord. Because of this complexity and the fact that each person has different needs and goals, there isn’t a single treatment that fits all patients.
When I meet with my patients, my first goal is to understand what’s causing their pain. Once I have that understanding, I use many techniques, including X-rays and models to help clearly explain their condition. I give my patients a wide range of treatment options, and then we work together to develop a customized treatment plan that helps them meet their personal goals, whether it’s being able to perform their job, participate in their hobbies or improve their overall quality of life.
