About Dr. Emad
Dr. Emad brings the specialized principles of Physiatry, Electrodiagnostic and Pain Medicine together to effectively analyze and treat a diverse spectrum of injuries and illnesses. His evaluation is a comprehensive inventory of the whole person in the context of their physical injury and the disabilities related to the injury.
He is board certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Physiatry). As a physiatrist he diagnoses and treats acute and chronic disorders of muscles, bones and nerves non-surgically with emphasis on functional restoration. He treats injuries related to work, auto accident, sports, arthritis and nerve damage involving the extremities and the spinal column. He also treats patients with stroke, brain injury and spinal cord injury.
Dr. Emad is board certified in Pain Medicine and performs procedures such as injections of cortisone, prolotherapy, Synvisc/hyalgan, epidurals, as well as special procedures for lumbar spine disc herniation (discography, Nucleoplasty, Decompressor and IDET).
Dr. Emad is board certified in Electrodiagnostic Medicine (NERVE, Inc.) which is a special testing of the nerves to assess for injury to diagnose conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or Sciatica (Electromyography, Nerve Conduction Study). Whether an injury is mechanical or neuropathic is the critical consideration to effectively minimize further injury and disability. Expert electrodiagnostic testing assures an accurate, evidence based diagnosis that fosters an appropriate treatment protocol.
