This involves the use of thorough medical history evaluations, physical examinations, and utilization of sophisticated diagnostic testing.

These include the use of non-narcotic medications, and referrals for physical therapy, acupuncture, and chiropractic treatments. As a specialist in interventional techniques, Dr. Lipton can provide a variety of injections, procedures, and surgical options if needed. These include everything from trigger point and epidural injections to the most advanced treatments such as spinal cord stimulators, and mild (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression). Dr. Lipton embraces cutting-edge treatments that are medically sound and scientifically proven. As part of his commitment to education, Dr. Lipton travels the country to instruct elite pain management physicians.
