If you or someone you love
lives with spine-related pain,
you should know that relief is
possible. In fact, even if
you’ve
tried different treatment,
including surgery, there is
still
hope. There are still options
that can help you get
out of
pain and get back to living
your life.
At The Venetian Spine Institute, we offer true alternatives
for spine-related pain… and for painkillers and
surgery. That’s because our pain-relief specialist,
Dr. Waleed Sayedahmad M.D., Ph.D., is an anesthesiologist
with advanced training in the management of pain. More
specifically, he is skilled and experienced with today’s
complete range of minimally invasive techniques to
relieve spine-related pain.
In other words, you have true alternatives
when
surgery and painkillers are
inappropriate.
And they’re rarely
appropriate!
Pain is the oldest of all physical complaints. While
medical management of pain isn’t nearly so old,
it does have a long history of helping people maintain
quality of life and their ability to function. The
severity and life-altering nature of spine-related
pain have encouraged and resulted in particularly
great strides in managing pain. Today, we don’t
just know that spine pain is real, we understand it.
And we have many ways of relieving it.
In most cases, spine surgery is intended to remediate
pain by fixing its source. But spine surgery
is risky, can cause new pain, is inappropriate for
90% of patients or may fail to provide any relief.
Pain killers, for their part, merely mask the pain,
can cause health problems and too often provide
no relief. Our minimally invasive treatments can
usually fix the problem or effectively interrupt the
pain cycle, providing proven treatment alternatives…
and the hope these patients need.
At The Venetian Spine Institute, managing spine related
pain nonsurgically is our specialty. As
a board-certified, experienced and reputable
anesthesiologist, Waleed Sayedahmad, M.D., Ph.D.
understands pain and how to manage it. What’s more,
he has the training, skill and practiced hand to perform
the full range of modern spine interventions. In other words,
he has what it takes to provide true relief for spine-related
pain when surgery and painkillers are not the right solution.
(They’re almost never the right solution.)
