About Us
Dr. Gaurav Bhatia
My main areas of expertise are non-surgical treatment and management of spine related disorders such as acute and chronic neck and low back pain. I also specialize in acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions such as hip pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, complex regional pain syndrome, etc.
My goals are to utilize both interventional and non-invasive options to design a treatment plan based on an evidence-based multi-modal therapy approach.
I am proficient in performing several advanced, minimally invasive, non-surgical interventional techniques, including epidural steroid injections, image-guided peripheral joint injections, radiofrequency ablation treatments, sympathetic nerve blocks, and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy injections.
