Technology and Pain Control

Unfortunately, musculoskeletal injuries and surgeries are very painful.  Traditionally, pain has been controlled with pain medication, namely opioid pain medication.  Although only 5% of the global population, Americans consume 80% of all opioid pain medication produced in the world.  The ongoing opioid crisis and the recent declaration of a national emergency is evidence that our current method of pain control is not improving patients, and is actually making patients worse.  

I have continued to optimize my pain control regimen and am passionate about investigating new methods of pain control.
