Orthopedic Expertise​

​​I have extensive post-doctoral training in the field of diagnosing and treating orthopedic pathology. My experience, combined with one-on-one treatments, allow my patients to frequently see a rapid resolution of symptoms. In fact, utilizing the McKenzie method, the average number of necessary visits is five. In many instances, my expert diagnosis and treatment prevent unnecessary (and costly) imaging, injections, and surgeries.

Focus on Patient Independence

A primary focus of mine is teaching patients how to manage their own injuries in order to minimize the need for medical care in the short and long term. Independent injury management includes regularly performing 1-2 prescribed, targeted exercises as well as attention to correct posture. I also teach my patients how to measure the status of their improvement and monitor for recurrence.

Focus on Injury 
​​Prevention

​
From day one, I educate patients regarding the cause of their problem and provide tools not only to resolve the issue, but also to prevent recurrence. As many injuries will recur within a year, it is imperative that patients learn how to spend a few seconds each day self-assessing their affected joint. If the problem returns in the future, the patient will be equipped with the tools to self-treat.
