CONDITIONS TREATED
General neurology: migraine; head trauma, trigeminal neuralgia, headaches in pregnancy, migrainous accompaniments such as vestibular migraine; epilepsy, including management with vagus nerve stimulators; Parkinson’s disease; Alzheimer’s disease, MS and neuropathy I treat routine neuromuscular patients and have treated veteran’s and worker’s compensation patients throughout my 30+ year career.
I do sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) blocks. This procedure has great clinical and financial benefits: !. I can effectively treat any pain above the neck: migraine, menstrual migraine, pregnant women, trigeminal neuralgia, cervical arthritis, vertiginous migraine, etc.; botox for migraine; occipital nerve blocks and I manage patient with vagus nerve stimulations every three months until stable and the management itself is billable. I read EEG’s and NCV’s and perform and read EMG’s.
