My care phi­los­o­phy revolves around appro­pri­ate his­to­ry and exam fol­lowed by dis­cussing treat­ment options using of best avail­able evi­dence to guide shared deci­sion mak­ing. There is abun­dant high qual­i­ty data show­ing the ther­a­peu­tic and pre­ven­ta­tive val­ue of exer­cise, and my main job is to get patients back to doing the activ­i­ties they love — whether it is high lev­el ath­let­ics or recre­ation­al walks or projects around the house. I am inter­est­ed in using less phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal inter­ven­tion when pos­si­ble, and can incor­po­rate min­i­mal­ly inva­sive pro­ce­dures to treat injuries and allow the body to use its own ele­ments to improve pain and function.
