Top Interventional Pain Management Doctor, Ramis Gheith Is Changing The Lives Of Athletes
It is not easy being an athlete. Injuries are part of the job, but they should not limit the livelihood and health of any individual. Unfortunately, pain can become a very depressing aspect of being an athlete, especially, when many people in the field of medicine are not experts in treating and eradicating the foundation of pain.
Thankfully, the field of Interventional pain management is changing how we evaluate and treat painful conditions. Nationally acclaimed Interventional Pain Management Doctor, Ramis Gheith is revolutionizing how pain is being treated through technology and his vast expertise. He has extensive education in the field of Anesthesiology and Interventional Pain Management Fellowship training. Dr. Gheith is able to combine science and technology to conquer pain once and for all.
“I’ve had injuries on so many parts of my body,” says New York Giants Wide Receiver, Dwayne Harris. The pro-bowl star player shared that his body has somewhat healed from some injuries but he still deals with pain. “If I go to rehab the pain goes away after a while, but sometimes it comes back. I guess this is part of the price of being an athlete, I think everyone goes through this,” said Harris who at times still struggles with knee pains.
Dr. Gheith explained to us the many complications of knee injuries, saying the following; “The knee has an intricate nervous system which is amenable to modulation, destruction and regeneration, allowing pain signals to significantly reduce or stop firing and allow a normal or significantly improved range of motion for the extremity involved. Of course, if a knee hurts due to a ligament or soft tissue injury, it should be corrected first or can be treated utilizing Platelet Rich Plasma or other highly advanced Regenerative Therapies to allow the body’s own natural healing response to dominate the environment and enrich the injured tissues with healing factors. It should be noted that up to 13% of patients who undergo knee surgeries will have a complex neuropathic pain condition which can be lifelong if not treated promptly and by an expert such as myself. These conditions often times go unrecognized by the medical community or may be noted and unfortunately not treated appropriately if not correctly diagnosed by the treating physician”
There are many athletes who suffer from pain and some often have to take painkillers just to get through the pain. This isn’t always the best option as we now see how damaging the side effects of pain medication can be. When Tiger Woods was found somewhat disoriented last year, the breathalyzer showed he was not under the influence of alcohol as many had initially believed. Woods had a strong reaction to the pain pills that he was taking to treat his multiple back surgeries. Dr. Gheith spoke about this on Fox News explaining the danger of opioids. For some people, injuries lead to a lifetime of pain and the abuses of painkillers.
“Lifelong pain is not something that athletes and people in general have to endure just because they’ve had injuries. I pride myself on being an expert in the field and providing excellence in pain management to thousands of patients and professional athletes as a way to improve their lives and help them get their lives back. Technology is changing how we manage pain and there are now more options than what was available to patients before. In addition, patients don’t have to be as dependent on painkillers to relieve pain,” said Dr. Gheith. Check out what he had to say in a previous Huff Post Interview below.
A lot of people suffer from injuries and pain. What are some methods that you can recommend for back and knee injuries?
Back and Knee Injuries are common in many Athletes as well as in the general public. In my experience with treating professional athletes and the general public — these injuries can be devastating and debilitating to one’s social life, career and personal sense of well-being; often leading to the use of chronic medications and often time opioids, which of course may cause dependence, addiction and lead to abuse and/or misuse and potentially more devastating outcomes. Most patients are not aware that we are able to provide pain relieving interventions using sophisticated and highly advanced technology with our expertise and skills to often times eliminate or significantly reduce their pain. Some just don’t know about our advanced care.
