When Dr. Raj began practicing Pain Management, the field was in its infancy.  His natural curiosity regarding chronic pain conditions has led to continuous, substantial improvements in Dr. Raj's practice over his 25 year career.  He is proud to offer a variety of therapies for complex pain patients when conservative management has failed, including various nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, joint injections, morphine pump management, and other therapies.  Due to his curiosity and experience, he has developed effective approaches to treating chronic intractable headaches and low back pain.
