Acupuncture
Acupuncture is effective for pain
relief, post-surgery, chemotherapy nausea and vomiting. In
addition, both the World Health Organization and the National
Institutes of Health recognize that acupuncture can be a helpful part
of a treatment plan for many illnesses. A partial list includes:
addiction, asthma, bronchitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, constipation,
diarrhea, facial tics, headaches, irregular periods, menopausal
symptoms, menstrual cramps, osteoarthritis, sciatica, sinusitis,
spastic colon, stroke rehabilitation, tendonitis, tennis elbow, and
urinary problems. You can safely combine acupuncture with prescription
drugs and other conventional treatments, but it's important for your
primary care physician to be aware of and to monitor your acupuncture
treatment.
Electrodiagnosis
Diagnosis of disease or injury by applying electric stimulation to
various nerves and muscles. We use modern, high-precision testing
equipment to ensure accurate results. A preliminary report is faxed to
the referring physician within 24 hours of testing, and a full report
follows by mail soon thereafter.
Ergonomics
Focusing on the design of your job, tools, objects, systems and environment for maximum comfort, error reduction and efficiency. Dr Moalemi is a trained ergonomic specialist to provide ergonomic consulting services, including individual on-site workstation evaluations.
Nerve Blocks / Injections
A group of nerves, called a plexus or ganglion, that causes pain to a
particular organ or body region can be blocked with local medicine.
Injections of this nerve-numbing substance is called a nerve block.
Nerve blocks can be used, in some cases, to avoid surgical options.
Physical Medicine And Rehabilitation / Physiatry
Physical medicine and rehabilitation or
physiatry involves the management of disorders that alter the function
and performance of patients. Emphasis is placed on the optimization of
function through the combined use of medications, physical modalities,
physical training with therapeutic exercise, movement & activities
modification, adaptive equipments and assistive device, orthotics
(braces), prosthesis, and experiential training approaches.
Physical Therapy
Our facility is also equipped to perform the new, FDA-cleared, True Spinal Decompression
Therapy System. This revolutionary treatment has shown an amazing
success rate in treating the pain associated with herniated, bulging or
ruptured disks in the back and also chronic back pain associated with
stenosis, degenerative disks, and facet syndrome. This computer
regulated treatment is highly specific at targeting the injured disk. Schedule a consultation to find out if you are a candidate for this type of treatment.
Spinal Decompression
In the past, a patient suffering from disc problems usually was given pain medications, instructed to refrain from physical activities, referred for physical therapy, and when they weren’t progressing they were sent for spinal surgery. Conservative chiropractic care proved very helpful in many cases, yet there have been some cases when surgery seemed to be the only other option… until now. Read more about spinal decompression.
Sports Medicine
We specialize in preventing, diagnosing
and treating injuries related to participating in sports and / or
physical exercises, specifically the rotation or deformation of joints
or muscles caused by engaging in such physical activities.
