Jarrod Friedman, M.D.
Pain Management
Jarrod Friedman, M.D., knows pain. That’s because he has spent the last 18 years helping patients attain relief from their chronic pain and suffering. Before opening his own practice – CoreSmart Pain Health Institute in Boca Raton and now in West Palm Beach – Dr. Friedman developed, launched, and directed pain management programs for the world-renowned Johns Hopkins University Hospital System, where he also taught.
“My years of experience have allowed me to treat patients who others thought were untreatable,” says Dr. Friedman, who is board certified in both Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, as well as Pain Medicine.
The first step for many patients is to determine the true source of their pain. Oftentimes patients come to him complaining about back pain, but after he performs a complete workup, they find the problem stems from problems emanating from another part of their body.
“I had a woman who came to me recently because she was just frustrated; she didn’t know where her pain was coming from. It was a matter of just reviewing her previous scans. She said, ‘you are the first person to explain what is going on in a way I can make sense of it,’” says Dr. Friedman. It’s that kind of success that leads to his many word-of-mouth referrals.
Many of his patients come to him after having undergone numerous other treatment options that have failed. Dr. Friedman believes in developing a plan that not only minimizes or eliminates pain, but he also teaches patients how to prevent their pain from coming back, from getting worse, or minimize its progression.
“My experience allows me to evaluate the chronic patient, give them a different perspective and figure out a different avenue,” says Dr. Friedman.
He offers numerous treatments, including platelet rich plasma (PRP), regenerative therapies, neurostimulation, steroid injections and more recently, amniotic stem cell injections. Each treatment is geared toward the individual patient.
Dr. Friedman doesn’t just treat patients’ immediate pain, but also looks into the future to ensure they maintain the best quality of life they can.
“The greatest success is when you see someone in the community enjoying themselves and not in your office. That’s what you live for,” he says.
