About Our Practice
The focus of Dr. Patel’s practice is to provide unsurpassed spine care while
dutifully fulfilling a responsibility to enrich the field of spine care.
Dr. Patel utilizes various imaging studies, electrodiagnostic evaluations, astute
physical examinations, and targeted x-ray guided procedures to accurately diagnose
and effectively treat painful spinal conditions.
By employing a comprehensive approach, Dr. Patel addresses spinal biomechanics,
biochemistry, pathophsyiology, neurophysiology, mechanism of injury, and adjustment
to injury in providing patient care.
Dr. Patel’s decision-making is guided by evidence-based and knowledge-based medicine regarding spine care, and he incorporates advanced research findings into his practice.
Treatment interventions are formulated based on a tiered treatment approach utilizing physical therapy, oral anti-inflammatory medications, and activity modification.
Minimally invasive, X-ray guided procedures may then be offered before surgery.
