Pain Management in GERMANTOWN, Maryland (MD)

Treating pain is central to being a pain physician. Pain runs indiscriminately through all specialties and is the natural partner of illness. As pain management specialists, it has always been second nature for us to treat pain. Making people well and making people feel well has held equal importance in our practice of medicine. We have always been intrigued by the multi-faceted components of pain. Its effect on the physical and psychological well being of the individual is powerful and pervasive. Pain management, from our experience and perspective, is an extremely gratifying field in that the relief provided to the individual can have far reaching implications for that person's quality of life. From the terminal cancer patient who can more comfortably play with her grandchildren to the man with chronic back pain who can maintain his independence through his continued ability to work, the treatment of pain promises us a part in a wealth of happier endings.


Our pain management physicians are all Board Certified, and fellowship trained. Dr. Malik did his fellowship at BIDMC/Harvard Medical School and did his residency at Baylor College of Medicine. They specialize in the medical management and are also highly skilled in the most current interventional techniques for controlling pain. These include selective nerve root blocks and epidurals, facet blocks and radiofrequency, Botox, peripheral nerve injections, and sympathetic blocks. More specialized procedures such as endoscopic and percutaneous disc decompressions (laser, hydrodiscectomy, max-more, Wolf), implantable devices, pain pumps, spinal cord stimulators, and radiofrequency neurolytic techniques are also available. Generally speaking, all injections are performed with fluoroscopic guidance assuring exquisitely accurate injections. Emphasis is on compassion, pain control and the patient’s return to normal functioning. We are strongly committed to working with primary care and referring physicians in a coordinated manner
