Interventional Pain Management Doctor - Springfield, NJ
Dr. Poonia believes that the only way to rid patients of their pain and dysfunction is to work collaboratively with the patient and the treatment team to understand the root cause of the pain and dysfunction and to treat the underlying pathology.
“Without addressing the reason for the pain, any short-term fixes will eventually fail,” he says. “I want my patients to live pain free.”
