Since the age of 17, a back disease left me in chronic, unrelenting back pain which ultimately led to spine surgery. My journey with back pain sparked an interest and ultimately the study and practice of chiropractics in Orlando, Florida for 10 years, before a shoulder injury nudged me into entering medical school. I am now a board-certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Specialist.  So, after studying and managing painful conditions for patients the last 33 years, I continue to specialize in integrating the body, mind and spirit into my practice at Integrated Pain Solutions in North Carolina.

 

This interesting journey in the field of sports and spine medicine has taken my wife and four children around the world.  It has also given me the opportunity to work with some of the world’s greatest athletes as 2-time Olympic team physician in Beijing and London.  My focus now is to serve chronic pain sufferers and their multiple co-existing conditions especially depression, anxiety and PTSD utilizing holistic and interventional procedures.

 

My passion for the past 4-5 years has been bio-hacking and I recently completed a Fellowship in the field of Longevity medicine. I enjoy my time with patients and hopefully I am able to guide them through a process of healing.
