The Facility
A modern upscale facility in the heart of Encino, the Center focuses on the diagnosis, management and treatment of painful musculoskeletal conditions. Equipped with physical therapy services, rehabilitation programs, non-surgical pain management and the revolutionary H-Wave therapy used by top athletes, we are able to provide a comprehensive medical approach that is individualized for each patient.

In comfortable out-patient settings, we treat a wide variety of conditions including back, neck and shoulder pain, pinched nerves, sports injuries, herniated disks, work injuries, chronic pain syndrome, myofascial pain syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, fibromyalgia, traumatic injuries due to accidents, and cancer pain.

Pain Management
At the Center, a multidisciplinary pain management approach is advocated, beginning with a thorough assessment and evaluation of the patient’s condition. This is followed by the most up-to-date pharmacological and interventional treatments. Alternative medicine is also utilized to achieve the highest level of pain control with the least adverse effects. Chiropractic, acupuncture, Prolotherapy and biofeedback are utilized in this program.

Workers Injury and Personal Injury
The Center specializes in medical-legal evaluations and treatments. Patients who have suffered work-related injuries, auto accidents or other personal injuries receive the highest-quality medical care. Our goal for these patients is fast, accurate diagnosis followed by the proper treatment and rehabilitation program, allowing patients to return to their daily activities while minimizing their pain and functional deficits. We also work closely with patients’ legal representatives in providing high-quality medical-legal reports in a timely manner.
