When to Get a Second Opinion Revealed by Scottsdale Pain Management Doctor Sham Vengurlekar
Scottsdale, Arizona (PRWEB) September 09, 2014 -- Dr. Sham Vengurlekar, a noted and world-renowned Scottsdale Pain Management Expert, sees a large volume of patients who come to him for a second opinion. Oftentimes, these patients have been told that they will require open back surgery, or other types of extremely invasive procedures in order to help alleviate or cure the conditions that are causing the excruciating pain they are experiencing. In order to keep patients informed, Scottsdale’s own top pain management specialist Dr. Sham Vengurlekar is sharing some information about when it is time to seek out a second opinion.
The medical techniques that were used in the past are obviously outdated and medical advantages have changed the way that pain is treated forever. As a leading pain management doctor in the Scottsdale area, Dr. Vengurlekar has a vast knowledge of the leading technologies that are used today in order to treat and cure pain that results from a variety of different reasons.
The days of cutting someone’s back open, subjecting him or her to days of recovery in the hospital and weeks of recovery at home are over. With all of the modern advances in medicine, outpatient procedures take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours and patients are on their way home and usually back to work within a few days.
“This type of treatment is archaic and extremely outdated,” said Dr. Vengurlekar.
Whenever a doctor suggests an archaic and dated method of treating patients’ pain, it is recommended to get a second opinion from a specialist. Oftentimes, general practitioners do have their patients’ best interests in mind, but they might not be aware of some of the newest therapies and best practices that are available to treat pain in today’s day and age. Procedures such as regenerative cell injection treatments, transforaminal selective root sleeve injections, balloon kyfoplasty, discography procedures, coblation nucleoplasty and more offer extremely targeted therapies to relieve pain.
