Chronic Pain
If pain has lasted more than 3 months, it matters, even when tests come back normal. In consultation we assess central sensitization, the most frequent reason pain stays even when no active damage shows up.

Consultation
An hour to listen to your story and build the plan with you.
It's where we begin. I sit with you and really listen, with no rush: how your pain started, what makes it better or worse, how it's affecting your sleep and your daily life. From there I explain what I'm seeing and we build a plan with you that makes sense for your life.

Interventional Pain Procedures
Image-guided procedures to act right where the pain starts.
It's an option for when medication isn't enough anymore, or when there's a precise source of the pain that we can treat directly. It isn't the first thing I suggest in every case, because it has very specific indications. That's why we always talk it through together in consultation before taking that step.

Schedule consultation Scope of the consultation
What I treat
Each condition has its own evaluation. The consultation is the first step to define the path forward.
Fibromyalgia
Pain you feel all over the body, fatigue, unrestful sleep and brain fog. It mainly affects women. Management combines medication with evidence-based strategies: sleep, activity, and stress management.
Cancer Pain
Management of pain related to cancer at any stage, including tumor-related pain, treatment-related pain (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery), and refractory pain. Coordinated with oncology.
Palliative Care
When the illness is advanced, the goal shifts: living as well as possible. Here I work on symptom control, quality of life, family support, and, when needed, palliative sedation. It's not only for cancer patients.
Pediatric Pain (children & adolescents)
Headaches, functional abdominal pain, juvenile fibromyalgia, musculoskeletal pain. I see children and adolescents, and the consultation always includes whoever is caring for them.
Neuralgia and Neuropathic Pain
That pain that burns, jolts, or fires up with a simple touch. It includes trigeminal neuralgia, post-herpetic, glossopharyngeal, diabetic neuropathy, CRPS, and other nerve-origin presentations.
Spine and Joint Pain
Low-back, neck, hip, knee, shoulder pain. We identify exactly where it comes from (facet, disc, sacroiliac, joint) so the treatment targets the source, whether conservative or interventional.
Post-Surgical Pain
If pain isn't going away months after surgery, don't normalize it. Caught early and treated specifically, it can be controlled before it becomes permanent.
