Procedures Performed

The practice is dedicated to performing and developing minimally-invasive procedures for treating back pain, arthritis and sports injuries. These procedures are usually combined with precise rehabilitation protocols for maximum benefit including pain reduction and restoration of motion and function.

Besides performing the procedures listed to the right, we are committed to developing newer minimally-invasive technologies that are more biologic. We are in the process of investigating role of platelet-enriched plasma which is rich in growth factors for treating tendonitis as well as arthritis and back pain. There is ongoing research performed by Dr. Vad and the company he founded called Mobitech on developing better joint lubricants as well as stem-cell based therapies for treating back pain and arthritis.

1- Disc Pain

• Back Rx exercise regimen with aerobic exercise.
• Transforaminal epidural steroid injections and facet joint injections.
• Discogram and IDET (Intradiscal electrothermal theraphy).

2- Spinal Stenosis

• Back Rx exercise regimen with aerobic exercise.
• Transforaminal epidural steroid injections and facet joint injections.
• Radiofrequency denervation.

• Arthritis Rx regimen consisting of diet, exercise and supplements.
• Joint lavage with hyaluronic acid injections for treating mild to moderate knee, hip, ankle, and shoulder arthritis.

Tennis elbow

• Minimally-invasive treatments for treating tennis elbow.

Shoulder Pain

• Frozen Shoulder.
• Calcific rotator cuff tendinosis.
