While on the World Pain Management Congress in Germany, in September 2011, he presented his new, innovative approach for the retrograde Spinal Cord Stimulator insertion which revealed a new technique of Spinal Cord Stimulator placement. " I have invented a special chair for doing injections into the neck, thoracic spine, and lumbar spine in the sitting position. This has an advantage of doing procedures safer and more convenient for the patients. I am also able to perform joint injections, shoulder joint, and knee joint injections using my approach, which is relatively painless and very simple. You would not find such an approach from any other pain management provider and you would not learn it from the textbook."
