Keeping Patients Pain Free Is A Team Effort
Did you know that about 20 percent of U.S. adults experience some kind of chronic pain? That’s approximately 50 million people! For many, it limits their daily life. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
For the past two decades, Ira Fox, M.D., and his team at Anesthesia Pain Care Consultants have diagnosed, treated and managed patients suffering from pain caused by a wide range of conditions.
Maybe you’ve had an accident, a bad outcome from a previous surgery, or are struggling with the wear and tear that comes with aging.
Anesthesia Pain Care Consultants offers the latest in treatment options including physical therapy, medication management, spinal injections, nerve blocks, PRP, stem cell signaling therapy, neuromodulation devices, implanted pumps, minimally invasive spine surgery, ozone injections for bulging or herniated discs and medical marijuana. Anesthesia Pain Care Consultants also provide medical legal expert testimony.
The team’s experience is broad and includes Robert M. Levy, M.D., Ph.D., an internationally renowned neurosurgeon whose expertise lies in neurostimulation and targeted drug delivery to the brain.
“When he came to us in 2019, he brought a new level of service to our practice,” Dr. Fox says. “He has been a great addition for the more complicated patients.”
Cuneyt Ozaktay, M.D., specializes in implantable pain pumps and spinal stimulation, while Javier Vilasuso, M.D., is well versed in the use of ozone for the treatment of spinal pain.
If you’re looking for alternative healthcare, Joseph J. Alshon, DO, takes a holistic approach to pain management. He also incorporates the use of medical marijuana into treatment plans when appropriate.
“Everyone on our team contributes some additional special skill set that helps to round out our group nicely,” Dr. Fox says.
Dr. Fox launched the practice in 1996, becoming the first South Florida group specializing exclusively in the management of pain. He often sees patients who either have been previously misdiagnosed or who have had an unsuccessful procedure.
“They come to us and we get them better, that’s a testament to our techniques not only with basic procedures, but also with our ability to take on more complicated cases,” Dr. Fox says.
