This site is to introduce you to my work in spinal and joint pain, particularly invasive treatment of chronic back pain, neck and knee pain. Conditions such as facetogenic back pain, sciatica, degenerative disc disease and bulging discs are very common and can be treated with spinal injections or radiofrequency ablation. New fascinating options of knee pain treatment gives you a chance to avoid or delay major knee surgery which in about 20% of patients may increase knee pain even more.

I hope the information you find here will help you to have better understanding of what I might recommend or do for you and why.
