Migraine, Mixed Headache, and TMJ

Finding a doctor who will help you to identify all your headaches from migraine, mixed headache, to TMJ can be a challenge.  Many people however travel to Greenville from surrounding areas such as Spartanburg, Anderson, Ashville, and Hendersonville for just that purpose.  In reality most people with chronic daily headaches such as migraine, mixed headache, and TMJ have numerous types or sources for their headaches.   Others include sinus, weather sensitive, stress, postural mechanical, cervicogenic (arising from the neck), and vasomotor (involving the autonomic nervous and vascular systems).  Fortunately there are many treatment options for migraine, mixed headache, and TMJ, as well as other headache types.   And while medications help, treatment directed toward the root cause of each headache type can lead to long term, lasting relief.  Learn more about migraine, mixed headache, and TMJ at piedmontpmr.com.

Fibromyalgia Care In Greenville

Greenville Rocks!   If you have been in Greenville for any length of time you know that it has transformed itself into a real destination.  People come to visit Greenville from all over in order to enjoy its vibrant downtown, great restaurants, parks, and yes, for Fibromyalgia care.  Piedmont Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, PA is  proud to offer Fibromyalgia Care in Greenville.  I also serve as Medical Director for the Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital System’s Fibromyalgia program.  It may be the only one of its kind in the country.  Just being a fully recognized and accepted program inside a hospital system is unique for Fibromyalgia in and of itself. We have traditional restorative therapy as part of the offering but after that the program is far from typical.   As Medical Director patients are seen in my office with an emphasis on both diagnosing and treating the root causes (there is no singular cause for Fibromyalgia) of each patient’s condition with the goal of restoring health.  There is no silver bullet, and it takes time and commitment from both the myself and the afflicted, but with this approach we have been able to improve quality of life in the majority of our patients. Plus we have a medical staff that is sensitized to the diagnosis, key specialists that have agreed to participate as members of the program, and multiple options for access for those who have financial restrictions.   I am proud of our outcomes and think you will be too.  If you have Fibromyalgia all you need to do is make an appointment and come ready to do what it takes to get well.  Learn more about our approach to Fibromyalgia at piedmontpmr.com.

Knee Relief Without Surgery

Knee relief without surgery is quite possible.   In fact the majority of knee ailments can be relieved with non-surgical methods.   There are many sources of knee pain including arthritis, sports injuries, back, hip, or ankle pain, weak ligaments, tendinitis and even vascular disease.  In truth there are more reasons than that, but you get the idea.  Naturally it helps to identify exactly what is causing the pain to begin with before you start treatment.  It is often a good idea to not just assume that the source is arthritis or joint space narrowing as quite often treating related structures can provide full relief.  For example if you have back pain it can cause hamstring and quadriceps tightness both of which can compress an already tight joint even further.   I have been able to provide relief for countless knee patients by treating back pain.  The same is true when treatment is directed toward structures that support the joint such as muscle, tendon or ligament.   For more severe cases regenerative techniques such as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) or Structural Support Cell therapy can often be effective as well.  Discover more about knee pain relief without surgery at piedmontpmr.com.
