About
Todd Schlifstein, DO
I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of muscular, skeletal, and neurological problems with non-surgical methods. We diagnosis and treat all forms and causes of pain. We diagnose and treat acute and chronic pain. Any type of injury or pain can be addressed by our staff. X-rays, ultrasound and EMG’s are done in our office to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders. He is one of only a few places using the latest ultrasound, sound waves, to help diagnose certain problems, and when necessary to help with needle guidance for certain procedures. If you are in need of surgery, we can direct you to the top surgeons in that field. He can work with your surgeon to treat pain and rehabilitation immediately after surgery. He treats patients before, after, and those who don’t need surgery. He helps direct our patients through a workup and treatment program whether surgery is needed or not. He also helps to decide what treatments are best for suited you.
