General Practitioners

Arthritis
Steroid injections are used for joint problems and rheumatoid arthritis. They can also be used for some conditions affecting soft tissues, like tendon inflammation or tennis elbow....

Family Practice
With a course load ranging from Biopsychology and Research Methods to Neuroscience and Physics, Aleksandr received a broad yet definitive start to his PA career. During his Physician Assistant studies, Aleksandr completed several rotations in Family Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, and General Surgery.
Electrocardiogram
The patient is given the option of light, (or deep in rare cases) iv sedation under monitoring of the ekg, pulse oximeter, etc by a board certified anesthesiologist. A tiny needle (smaller than the size of a paper clip) is then inserted into the area of the facet joint where the nerve reaches it (or directly inside the facet capsule, in some cases) and the physician injects an anesthetic and steroid.

Neurology
Multiple Sclerosis
Epilepsy

Ultrasound
Administering ultrasound guided joint, tendon, muscle and cartiladge injections is a non-invasive, non-ionizing interventional pain management modality thats gaining popularity. The option provides direct visualization of soft tissues while offering real-time needle advancements without the risks of radiation. Doctors can diagnose soft tissue areas impacted by pain as they are administering steroid, platelet rich plasma injections. This diagnostic ability allows the provider to target the pain with greater precision. Ultrasound guided joint, tendon, muscle and cartilage injections offer an easier and more effective way to free patients from pain.
MRI
Spinal stenosis more commonly occurs in the cervical and lumbar spine. Symptoms may include neck and low back pain associated with arm and/or leg pain, numbness and weakness. In some cases, bowel and.or bladder dysfuntion can occur. The diagnosis is confirmed by history, physical findings and appropriate radiologic study, usually MRI scan.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Actually this is the only true way to diagnose facet joint syndrome, as an abnormal looking joint on x-ray or ct scan, may be painless, and vice versa a normal looking joint may be the pain generator.

General Surgery
Sciatica
A constellation of symptoms which result in diffuse pains that do not fit a clear nerve root pattern (e.g. Not sciatica), these pains are worsened with movement of the spine, poor posture, often sleep, sometimes associated with cold burning sensations, usually worsened by cold damp weather and are now known to emanate from the tiny medial branch nerves that supply the facet joint.

Plastic Surgeons

Bariatric Surgery

Premium private hospital, provides the highest quality medical care, individualized treatment by the country’s leading experts, and in the shortest amount of time.

Physical Therapy
