Dr Clifford Baker, owner and physician of NovaSpine Pain Institute aims to reduce suffering through comprehensive, compassionate, and inclusive care. We combine the latest diagnostic tests, rehabilitation techniques, medication management and state of the art treatment options to provide patients with the best care possible.
Physical medicine & rehabilitation specialists, or physiatrists, are doctors who specialize in helping patients rehabilitate from injuries or complications of disease. This could include a weekend warrior coming back from a broken leg, or an aging grandmother dealing with arthritis. Dr. Baker may employ a range of treatment & rehabilitation techniques, including physical therapy, occupational therapy and nerve stimulation treatments, among others.
Pain management doctors specialize in caring for patients who are dealing with chronic pain, whether resulting from injury, disease, or otherwise. Dr. Baker creates customized pain management plans for patients that may include therapy, medication management, or minimally invasive procedures. When creating a customized pain management plan, Dr. Baker will evaluate the patient and their medical history, in addition to performing tests to arrive at a precise diagnosis.
