Medical Marijuana

The Compassionate Care Act in the state of New York has made Medical Marijuana accessible to many deserving patients and I have seen first and foremost patients who had tried various other modalities without relief e.g. from chronic pain get some relief with use of medical Marijuana. It is not a cure-all, no medication is but it is added modalities we can use.

Treatment Services

At ITAV we use a multimodal approach to management of pain. We know that pain is challenging to the patient and we know that the patient would not be in our clinic seeking help unless the pain has significantly impacted their life. With this in mind we seek various ways to manage the pain knowing well that time and research has taught us that chronic relief and improved function is seen by using various techniques and not just one modality. To this end we incorporate use of the following modalities:

Nerve Blocks

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." - 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NKJV)
