The Center provides comprehensive pain management under the guidance of Dr. A. Zielke, Board Certified Anesthesiologist trained in Pain Management. Additionally to all types of conventional blocks and therapeutic injections Medical Frontiers uses alternative and non-invasive therapies. Our patients especially favor laser therapy. The high power European lasers are very effective yet completely painless. If you have needle phobia laser therapy is for you.
Back and Neck Pain
 There is no better indication for laser therapy then neck pain. If you suffer from it, you might already know that there is no effective conventional treatment of chronic neck pain - and this includes injections and nerve blocks that are always painful and often dangerous. As a matter of fact we no longer perform injections in the neck, replacing them entirely with laser treatments.

Headaches
Dr. Zielke developed a unique, proprietary protocol for treatment of headaches. The treatment is usually effective even in most difficult cases when other therapies failed. We usually try to stay away from excessive use of medications since they are often ineffective and cause a lot of side effects. The treatment usually involves simple injections combined with laser therapy. If one suffers from daily headaches, our goal would be to bring the number of headache episodes down to no more then 1 to 2 per month. - Resource: www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/headache/detail_headache.htm
Arthritis
We have great news for arthritis patients. Nothing works better for arthritis than Laser Therapy. This is because of the powerful anti-inflammatory effect that laser produces in the inflamed joints and tissues. Small and big joints respond to therapy equally well and patients have long lasting remissions. The best therapeutic effect is accomplished through the addition of pharmaceutical grade supplements such as Omega-3 fatty acids ( Fish oil ), Glucosamine, Chondroitine. - Resource: http://www.arthritis.org/
 Neuropathies and Neuralgias
Neuropathies and Neuralgias pose great therapeutic challenges to all doctors. If you suffer from neuropathy, chances are that your doctor added to your diagnosis the word: "idiopathic" which means that he doesn't know why you have it - never mind how to treat it. Fortunately, laser treatment for neuropathy works very well no matter what the cause. - Resource: http://www.neuropathy.org/
Fibromyalgia
Previously not believed to even exist, fibromyalgia is now over diagnosed and often confused with myofacial pain syndrome. The problem is that the treatments of these two syndromes are different. True fibromyalgia is a therapeutic challenge and doctors don't entirely understand the causes of it.
We have a great news for fibromyalgia patients - our new laser treatment protocol for fibromyalgia is so effective, that patients usually experience complete pain relief within the first few minutes. If you suffer from fibromyalgia you must give us a call. - Resource: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/fibromyalgia/DS00079
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: (CTS)
CTS affects millions of Americans and is a cause of significant loss of productivity and income. In the past the only treatment option was surgery, which carried commonly known risks, inconveniences and weeks of recovery. Laser Therapy is very effective in alleviating symptoms of CTS with just a few treatments lasting about 5 min. There is no recovery time and no days lost from work - Resource: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/carpal-tunnel-syndrome/DS00326/DSECTION=1
 RSD ( reflex sympathetic dystrophy ) or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
If the name doesn't make you shiver, it should. This dreadful pain syndrome can be triggered by any type of trauma. It becomes chronic and becomes worse over time leading to complete disability and making affected extremity completely useless. The pain may become so severe that sometimes it drives the patient to commit suicide. Commonly used therapeutic blocks, even though they do provide some relief, have only transient effect. Fortunately, our experience with laser therapy for RSD has been very encouraging so far. We treated a number of patients and laser therapy seems to work much better than any blocks they had in the past. Even though patients have had good improvements, we are still far from a cure. - Resource: www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic497.htm
Tendinitis & Sprains
Tendinitis, sprains and other sport injuries: laser therapy is an excellent choice for all types of athletes. Non-invasive and painless, laser treats pain, accelerates healing and quickly restores function of injured tissues - Resource: http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/
Phantom Pain
The mystery of phantom pain continues to puzzle doctors and scientists. While the medical community remains clueless how to treat phantom pain, the severity of it can only be understood by patients who suffer from it. The Laser Center at Medical Frontiers has been conducting clinical testing of laser treatment for phantom pain. The early results are very promising and so far all our patients experienced often unexpected relief. - Resource: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/phantom-pain/DS00444
