Practice Overview

Dr. Aaron Bloom specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic pain disorders of the spine, chest, abdomen, pelvis and extremities. He always takes a multi-modal treatment approach that is customized to address the specific painful syndrome involved. Such treatments may include: fluoroscopically-guided spine injections, ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks and joint injections (steroid or viscosupplementation), botox injections for dystonia, and nerve ablation (for spine, hip or shoulder pain), peripheral nerve stimulation and spinal cord stimulation. Dr. Bloom works closely with our surgeons, PT, OT and personal trainers to comprehensively optimize the likelihood of breaking his patients’ pain cycle.

Dr. Bloom takes a special interest in translational medical research and developing novel, non-opioid pain-relieving medications for the treatment of chronic pain disorders.
