Step 1: Precision Diagnosis
Every plan begins with a thorough evaluation of your spine, joints, and movement patterns.
A diagnostic ultrasound-guided block may be performed during the first consultation.
Step 2: Your Treatment Path
Integrative Therapies
Regenerative Medicine
Spine & Joint Injections
Care plans may combine two or more of these approaches.
Precision Diagnosis
Each patient receives a thorough evaluation before any treatment is recommended — the goal is accurate diagnosis, individualized planning, and care that is appropriate for where you are in your healing process. The diagnostic process may include an ultrasound-guided diagnostic block at your first visit.
From there, Dr. Murakami develops a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, which may draw from a range of options including mobility exercises, acupuncture, osteopathic manipulation, and interventional injections — or any combination of these, depending on what is most appropriate for your condition.
A Collaborative Approach
Dr. Murakami works closely with referring physicians and rehabilitation specialists throughout the care process, including primary care physicians, orthopedic and spine surgeons, rheumatologists, and physical and occupational therapists.
