Research interests
My practice and research interests lie in nonoperative treatment of all musculoskeletal disorders. My previous research has included some work on minimizing risk and maximizing benefit from fluoroscopic guided spinal injections. Other areas I am interested in are sports medicine related topics, various shoulder disorders, use of musculoskeletal ultrasound, electromyography, and medical acupuncture.
