General Practitioners

• Arthritis
• Cryotherapy
  In the acute phase of treatment, prescribe rest, non-painful range of motion and oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications. You can use anti-inflammatory modalities, such as cryotherapy, interferential stimulation, ultrasound, phonophoresis, lasers and acupuncture, to control swelling and speed healing. Research indicates that lasers may be more effective for adhesive capsulitis and ultrasound can create benefits for calcific tendonitis.
• Rheumatology
  Studies support that Tendinopathy of the Gluteus Medius and Minimus muscles, with or without bursitis, are significant causes of the greater trochanteric pain syndrome (AJR 1999; 173:1123-1126). Clinical criteria of the American College of Rheumatology defines hip OA as:hip pain and < 15° of internal rotation and < 115° of flexion al rotation and < 115° of flexion in the hip joint, OR, patient with hip internal rotation > 15° / pain with hip internal rotation / morning stiffness of the hip for > 60 minutes / and age > 50 yr. (Altman et. al. 1991).
• Family Practice
  I am a family practice physician in the Pacific Beach area of San Diego. I have been referring my patients to Farshid Farajzadeh for physical therapy due to his high rate of treatment success. Not only does he do a tremendous job in helping patients to recover from their injuries but also my patients state he is extremely personable and very attentive. They all think he is terrific! I give Mr. Farajzadeh my highest recommendations without any reservations.

• Internal Medicine
  The study appears in the Annals of Internal Medicine [Ann Intern Med. 2015 Apr 7; 162(7):465-73] conducted between 2000 to 2007 and limited to patients 50 years and older who had no previous lumbar spine stenosis surgery. All 169 participants were qualified for surgery. The results showed that surgical decompression yielded similar effects to a PT regimen among patients with LSS who were surgical candidates.
• Bladder Cancer
  Halfway through the 10-year FDA research project, a few vegetables are already proving especially beneficial, especially to the pulmonary and cardiac systems. Make room in your cart for three of the most famous vegetable in the world for medicine, Dr. Walker told ADVANCE. The Big Three are none other than onions, garlic and cabbage. Onions, for starters, contain thiosulphinate, an antimicrobial agent that kills E. coli and inhibits bronchoconstriction. "Onions also contain alkycysteine, and reducing bronchial asthma," said Dr. Walker. "Just eating onions will help an asthma attack." Garlic has the most medicinal attributes of all the vegetables. It strengthens the immune system, enhancing killer cells, and fights cancer, viruses, and bacteria. Garlic lowers blood pressure and bad cholesterol and decreases the aging process too. The last of the big three - cabbage - is "the poor man's medicine." It protects against ulcers, gout and bladder cancer, according to Dr. Walker. "Cabbage is also excellent for treating asthma," he said. Other foods are showing promise as well. Celery, for example, helps treat anxiety, fights cancer and lowers blood pressure. "And when you reduce depression, of course, you can breathe better. It can also lower pulmonary blood pressure though," said Dr. Walker. Radishes work well as therapy for cold symptoms and coughs. Radishes are secretolytic and help break up secretions, promoting the expectoration of mucus. Green tea, which is gaining popularity among the health conscious, reduces lipid levels and reduces incidence of cancer. However, despite the hoopla, Dr. Walker cautioned some patients away from the eastern remedy. Pregnant women shouldn't drink it. And asthmatics should avoid the drink because it can lead to an asthma attack. NOTHING TO LOSE People on the go - that probably includes most of us - should consider buying a good juicer. Most foods can be consumed in liquid form, he said. "And it's a lot easier to drink a carrot than to eat one. You can juice and get your vegetable content in five minutes and then go about your business." Because most people do not eat a completely balanced diet, a good multivitamin can fill in the gaps. Make sure it bears the U.S. Pharacopeia (USP) seal, Dr. Walker advised. "If the USP approved it, then you know you're getting a good product." USP, a non-government organization, promotes the public health by establishing state-of-the-art standards to safeguard the quality of medicines. It ensures the product has the ingredients in the amount stated on the label, contains no toxins and will disintegrate effectively to release nutrients for absorption into the body. "I had a bottle of vitamins left over from yesteryear and I noticed it was made in China, "explained Dr. Walker. "I'm sure China can make a good vitamin, but that's outside the control of the USP. That unknown scares me." For a list of USP-approved supplements, visit http://www.uspverfied.org/ Therapists do not have to wait u

Neurologists

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  Other diagnoses to consider include Osteoarthritis (OA) of the trapeziometacarpal joint or radiocarpal joint, Wartenberg's syndrome, intersection syndrome, flexor carpi radialis tendonitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

• Thyroid

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  As with any profession, there are good physical therapy practices and no-so-good ones. Boris Gilzon, a physical therapist in Brooklyn, outlined important criteria that patients should look for. First and foremost, the therapist must be licensed by the state and have a reputation among patients and local physicians for providing good service. The space in which therapy is provided should be adequate and the therapist should use a variety of techniques, not just gym equipment but perhaps also yoga, electrical stimulation, heat, and ultrasound.
• MRI
  Overuse injuries are subtle and unfold overtime, and they can become chronic. An accurate history and physical exam are important components of diagnosing an overuse syndrome of the elbow or wrist. In some cases, X-rays bone scans and magnetic resonance imaging are necessary to confirm a diagnosis.
• X-Rays
• Iontophoresis
  Emphasize stretching the flexor pronator mass by extending the wrist with the forearm fully supinated and the elbow fully extended. Modalities, such as Iontophoresis, phonophoresis and nitric oxide, can modulate inflammation.

Surgeons

• Orthopedics
  57. Petersen W, Laprell H. Combined injuries of the medial collateral ligament and the anterior cruciate ligament.early ACL reconstruction versus late ACL reconstruction.
• Whiplash
  Patients who are suffering from a neck injury seek treatment at various stages of their condition, and clinicians need to recognize the characteristics associated with these stages. The term, "whiplash" typically carries negative connotations, and it's often incorrectly used as a diagnosis. However, whiplash more accurately describes the mechanism of injury.
• Arthroscopy
  1, 2 In the 1980s, large arthrotomies were replaced by arthroscopic, anatomic, intra-articular reconstructions. Arthroscopy eliminated the need for prolonged postoperative immobilization, and accelerated rehabilitation protocols were established. In the 1990s, the rehabilitation protocols were advanced further to allow athletes an early return to sports.
• Wound Care
  Indications: The FDA has approved light therapy for the treatment of head and neck pain, as well as pain associated with CTS. In addition to these conditions, the literature indicates that light therapy may be beneficial in three general areas: 1. Inflammatory conditions (e.g., bursitis, tendonitis, arthritis, etc.) 2. Wound care and tissue repair (e.g.,Diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers, bedsores, mouth ulcers, fractures, tendon ruptures, ligamentous tear, torn cartilage, etc.) 3. Pain control (e.g., low back pain, neck pain, and pain associated with inflammatory conditions carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, post-herpetic neuralgia, etc.)
• Joint Replacement
  Even with advanced technology, patient care after surgery is still the most important part of a successful joint replacement. Physical therapy and exercise are crucial for patients to recover their strength and range of motion and get back to their regular routine.
• Arthroscopy
  31. Simonian PT, Harrison SD, Cooley VJ, Escabedo EM, Deneka DA, LarsonRV. Assessment of morbidity of semitendinosus and gracilis tendon harvest for ACL reconstruction.
• Hip Replacement
  The 'but and gut' is the centerpiece to optimal performance and function, according to Hoogenboom, in anyone from the elite athlete to a patient recovering from hip replacement surgery. "Core stability is inherent to human function. To be able to ambulate and do activities of daily living, you need to utilize the muscular stabilizers of your trunk. To me, it's just a part of big-picture thinking for every client and every patient."

• Frozen Shoulder
  The shoulder is a complex ball and socket joint mostly supported by ligaments and muscles. The shoulder is an extremely mobile joint allowing to reach in many directions. Pain in the shoulder can be caused by many factors such as: overhead activities, sports, poor sitting posture, trauma, mechanical / joint changes, and other factors. Some common terminology of shoulder problems are rotator cuff tendonitis, biceps tendonitis, shoulder bursitis, adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder, degenerative joint disease, and shoulder fractures.
• Tennis Elbow
  Tennis elbow leads the field of elbow diagnoses and sets in when the muscles or tendons surrounding the elbow joint and forearm are damaged. Microtears form in the tendons and muscles that extend the wrist, causing restricted movement, inflammation and pain. These microtears eventually form scar tissue, and can result in calcium deposits. This scar tissue can form within the tendon and lead to chronic tendinosis of the wrist extensors.
• Shoulder Pain
• Flatfoot Correction
• Ankle Sprain
  Other reported mechanisms of light-induced beneficial effects include modulation of prostaglandin levels, alteration of somatosensory evoked potential and nerve conduction velocity, and hyperemia of treated tissues. The resultant clinical benefits include pain relief in conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), bursitis, tendonitis, ankle sprain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, shoulder and neck pain, arthritis, and post-herpetic neuralgia, as well as tissue repair in cases of diabetic ulcer, venous ulcer, bedsore, mouth ulcer, fractures, tendon rupture, ligamentous tear, torn cartilage, and nerve injury. Suggested contraindications include treatment of cancer; direct irradiation of the eye, the fetus, and the thyroid gland; and patients with idiopathic photophobia.
• Neck Pain
• Back Pain
• Manual Therapy
  After the evaluation, therapy sessions typically include exercises in the gym, manual therapy (joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, manual resistive exercises, corrective ROM, etc.), home exercise instructions, and use of modalities as needed. All treatments are with direct supervision of the staff and therapist.
