My current practice is limited to Spine Care Services, and I consult on Complementary and Alternative Medicine as well. Spine care has been an orphan in conventional medicine, until now. Four out of five people have back pain at some time in their lives. It is usually a benign, self-limiting problem. But there are many different options for care. Defining the problem, and choosing the right program for you is what the spine care program is all about. Developing your long-term management program (most back pain comes and goes!) is the key to success. That’s why we have a Spine Care Services program here at San Jose Medical Center. Whether you need education, physical therapy, or surgery – or anything in between – we will help you understand your choices and how to make them work in the best possible way for you.

Back pain is managed by staying active. Staying strong and flexible is the key to maintaining a healthy spine. See the exercises linked here, as well as the Health Education programs available here at San Jose Medical Center. Pick an activity you enjoy, or it will be difficult to keep it up for a lifetime! Enjoyment, laughter, and the glass half full… a positive attitude is one of the keys to good life.
