Services
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal Cord Stimulation uses implanted devices to deliver electrical impulses that interrupt pain signals to the brain. This treatment is ideal for patients with chronic nerve pain, failed back surgery syndrome, or complex regional pain syndrome. It offers long-term relief by modulating pain perception without relying on opioids.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency Ablation targets specific nerves causing pain using heat generated by radio waves. It is effective for treating chronic neck, back, and joint pain by disrupting pain signal transmission. Patients often experience relief lasting months to years, reducing the need for repeated injections.
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural Steroid Injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the epidural space around the spinal nerves. This treatment alleviates pain caused by herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or sciatica. It combines rapid pain relief with reduced inflammation, often as part of a broader rehabilitation plan.
Vertiflex Spacer Procedure
The Vertiflex Spacer is a minimally invasive treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis. It works by maintaining space between vertebrae to reduce nerve compression. This procedure preserves spinal mobility while alleviating leg and back pain caused by narrowed spinal canals.
Kyphoplasty
Kyphoplasty stabilizes fractured vertebrae using a balloon to restore bone height, followed by cement injection. It treats pain from vertebral compression fractures due to osteoporosis or trauma. Patients typically experience rapid pain relief and improved spinal stability within days.

I had back pain for 10 years. Dr. Shah was the first to dr to take the time to correctly identify the sources and treat them without drugs. A few minimally invasive procedures and I feel like a new man. Waking up without pain is a blessing. Dr. Shah is incredible

I must say my 16 year old son has been seeing Dr Shah for over one year now for chronic pain. I have nothing but positive things to say about him and his staff. Unfortunately my son has many medical issues that I am not sure will ever be fully diagnosed (he has seen dozens of doctors), but Dr Shah has told us both that he wants to focus on helping to alleviate any of the pain. He is very thorough and truly listens. I have never had a doctor that not only listens to my concerns, but also my son's the way he does. He will thoroughly answer all of my questions, and I always have a ton. He is very

I have been impressed and grateful every step of the way with Dr. Shah. He did the proper imaging and other diagnostic tests, to determine the levels and locations of damage. He is extremely careful in every way and has unsurpassed listening skills. Its an immense relief to find a doctor I trust with my spine. Hes been willing to do bloodwork that was proved necessary. Hes also capable of thinking outside the box and coming up with an alternative treatment if one option isnt tolerated. I cannot recommend him, or anyone, more highly.

First of all, I like the office, cleanliness and everything is placed in right manner and hard to identify any issue with the office management. Frontdesk is very clear and crisp and too good with all type of people.
Dr Shah seems very knowledgeable and he is again very very clear. seems he knows what patient gonna ask and so is ready with all the answers. Though I met him only once but I will update this review based on my future experience.
