Dr. Jarrod Friedman is a double board-certified Interventional Pain Medicine and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation physician at CoreSmart Pain Health Institute in Boca Raton and West Palm Beach. Dr. Friedman is a strong proponent of early intervention. “Having the correct diagnosis, learning how to prevent the onset of pain by modifying activities of daily living, and having a well-integrated pain program really helps to prevent chronic long-term issues,” explains Dr. Friedman, who has spent the last 20 years treating a wide variety of painful conditions.
“As a physiatrist, I can do the compendium of therapies, from conservative to interventional. Treatment plans can span from the use of anti-inflammatory medications to injections to minimally invasive procedures. The key is to do the appropriate workup to find the root of the issue and to get the correct diagnosis.”
Dr. Friedman utilizes the most advanced techniques, including neuromodulation and Regenerative Medicine (PRP), for the treatment of a variety of pain issues. For back pain, he also performs two new minimally invasive procedures: MILD (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression) and ION. The MILD is ideal for patients who aren’t candidates for major spine surgery, those who are considered too old for surgery, or for younger patients who do not want to undertake a major spine surgery. ION is another minimally invasive surgery where a small screw is used to stabilize joints and segments of the spine. They’re both great techniques that work well when combined and easily improve the quality of life for my patients,” says Dr. Friedman.
