Care Philosophy
This content was provided by Dr. Varma "I work with every patient as if they are my family member, and I treat them the way I would treat my own family. Every patient is unique, and I believe the best care plans are tailored combinations of techniques that may include: interventional treatment, medication management, physical therapy, aqua therapy, behavioral therapies, and alternative therapies including acupuncture. Improving the quality of life for my patients is what inspires me. I'm very focused on alleviating their pain and also improving their mental and emotional health. Suffering from regular pain can be incredibly stressful."
