Why does my back pain keep coming back—and is there a better way to treat it?
Back pain often returns because the root cause was never fully treated. Many approaches focus on short-term relief, while underlying issues—like joint dysfunction, muscle imbalances, or nerve irritation—persist. In PM&R, we take a function-first, root-cause approach. That starts with a detailed history, physical exam, and imaging when needed. Treatment is personalized and may include physical therapy, targeted exercise, behavioral strategies, and medications. When appropriate, we use precise, image-guided procedures to treat the source directly. Our goal is simple: help you move better, feel stronger, and get back to what you love without relying on long-term opioids. If you have recurring pain, it’s worth an evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

Should it matter who does my dental implant?
Yes, it’s especially critical if it’s a front tooth, you show a lot of gum in your smile, or it’s congenitally missing. Careful planning by an experienced, cosmetically trained dentist is required to achieve a realistic, natural result. Sometimes soft tissue grafting, bone grafting, or even orthodontics is required. Make sure your dentist works with a master ceramicist, perhaps certified by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentists.

Can regenerative medicine actually help patients avoid surgery?
Absolutely. I treat many conditions—such as rotator cuff tears, mild to moderate arthritis, and degenerative disc disease—with regenerative therapies that can help patients avoid major surgery. The key is early intervention, as waiting too long can limit results. Compared to surgery, these procedures are safe, minimally invasive, and carry a lower risk of complications. As the only physician in Annapolis licensed through the premier Regenexx network, I offer advanced, research-driven regenerative treatments tailored to each patient. If you’re trying to avoid surgery, an early evaluation can help determine if you’re a good candidate and improve your outcome.
