Your Ally in the Treatment of
Chronic or Intractable Pain in the Knees & Shoulders

When your patients return to you with knees or shoulders that are not getting better or that are not staying better, consider a referral to Neal S. Taub, MD, ABPM&R. Knees and shoulders can be tricky, and a multidisciplinary approach directed by you often serves as the most effective plan for a satisfied patient. As a physiatrist board certified in pain medicine, Dr. Taub can provide assessments and treatments that will quickly relieve pain and improve the lives of your patients. Dr. Taub’s treatments often help patients avoid or delay surgery – even patients already scheduled for surgery. Dr. Taub will coordinate and communicate with you, the referring chiropractor, so that you will remain involved in and knowledgeable about your patient’s care. Your patient remains under your long-term care and only sees Dr. Taub for the short time necessary to provide the medical portion of your patient’s overall care.

As a physiatrist, Dr. Taub is trained in cutting edge, non-surgical treatments based on the most current research available. Services available to you and your patients at the private, referral-based practice of Dr. Taub include:

• Orthopedic & Neurological Evaluations, Consultations, & Second Opinions
• Physician Conducted Ultrasound Diagnostics for Knees, Shoulders, and More
• Ultrasound Guidance of Injections (shown to dramatically improve efficacy of injections, especially in shoulders)
• Rehabilitation Management (when this service is not provided by the chiropractor)
• Temporary Nerve Blocks
• Injections for Neuroma / Neuromata of the Knee or Shoulders
• Prolotherapy Shown to be Effective in the Knee
• Hyaluronic Acid Treatments for the Osteoarthritic Knee
• Oral Analgesic Management to Ensure Maximum Effectiveness, Responsible Monitoring, and Managed Cessation
