General Info

About me

As a physiatrist, my goal is for patients to reach their highest functional status, so I address pathologies that limit the patient's function:
-Musculoskeletal injuries (shoulder pain, knee pain, tendonitis, bursitis, among others)
-Back pain with non-surgical management (lumbalgia, dorsalgia, cervicalgia, lumbosciatica)
-Postural defect (scoliosis, kyphosis, alteration in the alignment of hips, knees and feet)
-neurological injuries
-Cerebral palsy
-Neuropathic, inflammatory or mixed pain
-Gait disorders

Additionally, I perform procedures such as
-ultrasound guided infiltrations
-application of botulinum toxin for spasticity
-orthosis prescription (shoes, insoles, splints, prostheses, corset, among others)
-creation of the technical sheet for wheelchairs.
