About Me
[edit | edit source]

My practice is working with injured workers.  I see about 30 to 40 complex (chroinc pain, failed PT, post surgery, over-medicated) injured workers a year.  The intial visit is usually an FCE or a Work Hardening Evaluation. I really enjoy this work because I often see remarkable changes in people who have been exposted to the traditional medical model for an extended period and have come to believe there is nothing more that can be done.
