Avoid Another Back or Neck Surgery with Regenexx

Surgery to help back or neck pain has a bad reputation. Almost everybody knows someone who has had bad results. For example. disc surgery can weaken that structure and it can re-herniate. In a fusion surgery, a procedure where part of the spine is bolted together solid, the structures above and below can get overloaded and torn up and this problem is known as adjacent segment disease.

What you may not know and find frustrating to hear, is that unfortunately, in many cases, these surgeries have been shown to be no more effective than sham surgeries, though the risks associated with them are very real. For example, fusion surgery complications occur in 25% of fusion patients. Further, in one study, 76% of patients still require narcotics for pain and miss three times as much work as those who don’t have surgery. Additionally, fusions lead to the wearing down of the segments above and below the fusion site as those segments now take on more movement than they were designed to accommodate, potentially leading to the need for additional fusions over time.

So what can we offer? Precise, injection based treatments of growth factors or your body’s own healing cells that focus on treating the whole spine. For example, if you’ve had a prior disc surgery that didn’t work, we can inject using real-time imaging to help heal damaged nerves. Of if you have a fusion, our goal will be to strengthen and heal the damage happening because of the increased wear and tear.  Best of all, your downtime will be a fraction of surgery, with little to no need for opioid pain medications or time off of work. Call our patient care coordinators today to get started on your path to recovery.

I have always been of the understanding that the role of a physician is to act as a wise and skilled instrument in providing comfort and healing to those seeking compassionate medical care.

My curiosity regarding medical science, my empathy for the sick and disabled, as well as my admiration of my pediatrician at a young age fueled my desire to join the healing arts as a physician.

I treat each of my patients as I would wish to be treated, and consider those in my care as I would friends and family. They have come to me for help, and it is my desire and obligation to give them the very best care, skill, and comfort that I can possibly provide.

I have provided care over 30 years to the Baltimore and Washington D.C. metropolitan region since the completion of my medical training at Georgetown University Medical School and Georgetown University Medical Center. My care involvement has ranged from Medical School Clinician instructor, hospital attending, to private practice physician with an effort to always enhance my skills and to provide the very best care possible to my patients.

As an Anesthesiologist specializing in interventional pain management, I am a member of several societies dedicated to the care and advancement of knowledge in the treatment of pain. These societies include The Interventional Orthobiologic Foundation IOF, The Spinal Injection Society, The American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, The American Neuromodulation Society, The International Neuromodulation Society, The American Medical Association, and The American Academy of Pain Medicine
