Interventional Pain Specialist
Board-certified specialist offering evidence-based procedures to help you avoid surgery and regain mobility.
The Right Treatment Starts With the Right Diagnosis
Pain is rarely caused by a single structure. Symptoms overlap, imaging can mislead, and generic treatments frequently fail because they target the wrong source.
Dr. Palvia's treatment selection process is diagnosis-first — every time:
-
Step 1
Detailed clinical evaluation and history
-
Step 2
Review of prior imaging — MRI, X-ray, ultrasound
-
Step 3
Diagnostic injections to confirm pain generators when needed
-
Step 4
Image-guided precision to improve safety and effectiveness
"Treatment follows the diagnosis. Not the other way around."
