Orthopedic and Sports Injuries

Dr. Howard Liss treats disorders that cause pain and disability by providing consultative services and soft tissue and joint injections when needed. When medically appropriate, he makes specific referrals for diagnostic testing (lab work, imaging, electrodiagnosis), physical and occupational therapy, interventional procedures (epidurals and facet joint injections), and surgery.

Orthopedic and sports therapy is specially designed to encompass a wide range of injuries with specific techniques aimed at restoring and sustaining functional ability. Through extensive evaluation and diagnostic measures, physiatrists are in a unique position to develop comprehensive treatment programs.

A large part of orthopedic and sports therapy includes performance enhancement. While this incorporates physical therapy, exercise and strength building, it also includes patient education and counseling on body mechanics and preventative techniques. This information proves useful to help athletes and their families manage pain and symptoms while advancing their recovery.

At the Howard Liss, M.D. Rehabilitation Institute in Tenafly, patients can rely on Dr. Liss to put together the right treatment, therapy and rehabilitation plan to ensure the most optimal outcome. Dr. Liss works closely with other specialists required to rehabilitate patients suffering from chronic pain or serious injuries, and Dr. Liss will refer patients as needed to ensure appropriate treatment. With extensive education and exposure to a variety of conditions that affect the cervical and lumbar spine, bones, nerves, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, brain, and spinal cord, Dr. Liss is uniquely positioned to help patients manage their pain and maximize their functioning.
