Services
Kyphoplasty
Kyphoplasty treats spinal compression fractures using balloon-assisted bone cement injection. This minimally invasive procedure provides immediate pain relief for patients with osteoporotic or traumatic fractures. Our practice performs hundreds of successful kyphoplasty procedures annually, utilizing advanced imaging guidance to ensure precision and safety while restoring vertebral stability and function.
Spine Injections
We offer image-guided lumbar and cervical epidural steroid injections for nerve-related back pain. These targeted treatments reduce inflammation and alleviate discomfort from spinal conditions. Our fluoroscopic imaging ensures accurate needle placement, maximizing effectiveness while minimizing risks for long-term pain management solutions.
Joint Injections
Our joint injection services treat hip, knee, and shoulder pain using corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, or PRP solutions. These procedures address osteoarthritis and sports injuries through precise, image-guided delivery. We combine advanced techniques with personalized rehabilitation plans to improve mobility and reduce chronic joint discomfort effectively.
PRP Injections
Platelet-rich plasma injections harness patients' healing factors to treat musculoskeletal injuries. We prepare customized PRP solutions from blood samples and deliver them using imaging guidance. This innovative approach promotes tissue repair for tendon, ligament, and joint conditions while offering natural pain relief alternatives.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Our spinal cord stimulation systems use implanted devices to manage chronic neuropathic pain. We conduct trial periods before permanent implantation, programming devices to deliver personalized pain-blocking signals. This advanced therapy benefits patients with complex regional pain syndromes or failed back surgery syndrome.

If you have chronic pain, Dr. Kumar could change your quality of life. He's been (by far) the best Pain Management doctor I've ever visited. I've been going to his office for 7-8 years and have always been impressed with his suggestions and care. He does not prescribe meds just to give you pain relief. He discusses where you are at the moment he sees you, for each visit, before developing a plan to make you more functional. He has given me the tools to understand how to prevent a flare, how to manage a flare-up, and when I really need more medical help.

Dr. Kumar has been simply fantastic, and I mean fantastic over the last two years! Ive been dealing with chronic back pain for the last twenty five years as a result of multiple sports since childhood - Ive literally tried everything from chiropractic and physical therapy, to acupuncture, and a whole host of pills and other modalities... all of which provided limited pain reduction results. Dr. Kumars spinal epidurals have been a true life saver for me. Within 24 hours I feel brand new. Pain literally vanishes. He really listens to your symptoms and explains his approach in mitigating

I must start by saying how patient and understanding the staff and Doctor Kumar are. They treat you like an individual, not a number. The service and professionalism from the Doctor as well as his staff is exceptional. I don't like needles but have multiple issues and complications from an injured spine. Doctor Kumar is amazing. Near pain free delivery. My anxiety is the worse thing about the experience. Once there they also ease my stress and pain. I have seen a half dozen or more specialists and Doctor Kumar is the best. He's honest and wants to help.

Dr. Kumar does not talk to his patients if they are in pain. Staff is rude and found them to be argumentative. This should have been a 10 minute conversation. Ben is rude and uncaring. Stay away!
