Alexander P. Hersel, MD, and Bradley Spiegel, MD, of Pain Management & Injury Relief Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, Calif., have begun offering 10-kHz High-frequency therapy spinal cord stimulation for back and leg pain.
Here are five observations:
1. HF10 therapy is FDA-approved and has shown better results when compared to spine surgery and traditional, low-frequency spinal cord stimulators.
2. Pain Management & Injury Relief Medical Center is the first practice in the Conejo Valley to use this technology.
3. HF10 therapy is ideal for patients whose pain is multifactorial, or pain in which a physical exam, history or diagnostic studies cannot decipher. The therapy is also ideal for those who have not responded to back surgery.
4. Dr. Hersel earned his medical degree from the Hahnemann School of Medicine at Allegheny University of Health Sciences in Philadelphia and completed his residency at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. He also completed his fellowship at UCLA Pain Management Center.
5. Dr. Spiegel earned his medical degree from New York Medical College in Valhalla and completed his residency at UCLA Medical Center.
