Telehealth: The Advantages of Telemedicine

Telehealth — or telemedicine — is a healthcare solution that allows you to meet with your doctor virtually instead of going to the office. Our 100% HIPAA-compliant system uses a two-way, high definition video, so we can talk face-to-face as if we’re in the same room together. With Telehealth, you can also:

RA commonly affects joints on both sides of the body.  If one knee is affected, the other knee is likely affected as well. 1.3 Juvenile Arthriti

Why A “Non-surgical” Issue Can Still Cause Pain, And What You Can Do About It!

Surgery is an effective way to deal with certain painful physical problems, but the practice is not a reasonable solution for many spinal issues. Some problems simply cannot be corrected through surgery while others benefit from clinical treatment just as readily and without the risks that accompany surgical solutions. For some people, this means more effective pain management, but that is not a solution to the problem. It just makes you more comfortable. Instead, consider what interventional pain consultants can do to help you manage your condition. Here are just some of the non-surgical treatment options that you can explore.
