Headaches
Arthritis
In 2010, Botox won FDA approval for the prevention of chronic migraine headaches. Most studies show pain subside in patients for up to three months after receiving injections! Botox injections for pain management can also be used to help arthritis pain in the shoulders, knees, and hips (often caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis).
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia affects approximately three million people in the United States every year, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (cdc.gov, 2015). Fibromyalgia is a condition that commonly causes neurological problems in men and women, but it is not known to arise from an autoimmune, inflammation, or muscle disorder. Read More
Emergency Care
Being injured while playing sports may seem inevitable, and the recovery time can be strenuous and time consuming. With the proper care of your body the risk of being injured can be substantially reduced, and the recovery from an injury can be done in less time. That is why the doctors and treatment staff at Remedy Medical Group are here to help you prepare your body to engage in sports or recover from an injury caused by sports. As the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported in 2011, “Collision or contact sports have higher injury rates - football, basketball, baseball and soccer account for about 80% of all sports-related emergency room visits” (cdc.gov, 2011).

At age 17 he received an American Cancer Society Award to investigate a novel idea in Cancer Research. He completed Northwestern University's Honors six year medical program in 1983. Following an internship in Internal Medicine at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, Dr. Sontag completed his residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Stanford University Medical Center. He is board certified in both Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine. Dr. Sontag is a Qualified Medical Examiner.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
These steroid injections can help temporarily relieve painful symptoms caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. The steroid injections help reduce tendon swelling and ease pressure on the nerve. Most patients say the level of pain of the carpal tunnel injections would be comparable to the pinch of the needle when getting blood drawn.

Ultrasound
Using injections to treat a variety of conditions, we use ultrasound technology at our office to inject medications such as cortisone shots and joint lubricants. We can also use ultrasound technology to administer local anesthetics to allow better examination, because it anesthetizes painful and problematic areas, allowing them to be examined more efficiently. Ultrasound Guided Injections ensure that all injections are administered to the right location to soothe painful areas. For instance, joint injections need to be injected within the joint space, not the surrounding soft tissues. Ultrasound Guided Injections allow precise injections to the correct location of the body, helping to relieve pain quicker and more efficiently
Chemotherapy
Dr. Rakkar is experienced in medical management of painful conditions, and interventional procedures including all standardized spinal diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, spinal cord stimulation, dorsal root ganglion stimulation, radiofrequency ablation, vertebral augmentation, and sympathetic blocks. He also has an interest in regenerative medicine. He is subspecialized in cancer pain management and is well-versed in the management of painful oncologic conditions and cancer/chemotherapy-related neuropathies.
Iontophoresis
Hybresis can be used as a local pain management by delivering charged water-soluble drugs across the skin. Hybresis is a wireless brand of iontophoresis therapy. We use iontophoresis therapy as a method of delivering medicine and other chemicals through the skin via a small electric charge. Delivering medicine this way helps alleviate pain in certain areas of the body. This is the best way of delivering medicine into the body without using a needle. Patients who have a fear of needles are encouraged to try Hybresis in order to make the delivery of medication and the process of pain relief process run more smoothly and comfortably with less anxiety.

Orthopedics
Dr. Ross had an interesting road to the field of orthopedics, including time spent in the military as a way to give back. She served in Seoul, Korea for two years before being deployed to a forward-based combat surgical unit in Afghanistan. She has been awarded a NATO service medal as well as four U.S. Army commendation medals.
Sciatica

She acquiring her board certification in orthopedic surgery in 2010 and was elected a fellow with the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. In 2013, she completed a sports medicine fellowship at the prestigious Andrews’ Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham, Alabama.

Botox
Botox was also successful for patients with back pain, and nerve pain. This procedure starts with Botox injections into the muscle that is the source of the pain. It inhibits the muscle movement and contractions, thus preventing recurring pain and discomfort. In 2001, a study found that 60% of patients who received Botox injections for back pain had relief for up to four months!

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Dr. Sontag was the team physiatrist for the San Francisco 49ers from 1990 to 1991 and the San Francisco Giants from 1995 through 2001. He served as the team spine and pain physician for the San Jose Sharks from 1991 to 2014 and the Oakland Raiders and the San Jose Earthquakes from 1995 to 2005. He has also provided sports medicine coverage for the Menlo College athletic teams. Dr. Sontag cares for many of the World's elite athletes including Olympians, NFL, NBA, NHL, PGA and National Baseball Players.
Physical Therapy
The skin and tissue around the joint are numbed using a local anesthetic. The Sacroiliac Joint is then injected with either Lidocaine, Bupivacaine, or a Corticosteroid. If this helps alleviate the pain in the joint and surrounding areas immediately, it confirms the source of the pain. Pain relief has been reported to last days, weeks, and in some cases, even months if combined with physical therapy.
