Dr. David Rosenblum discusses his approach in treating cervical radiculopathy via extraforaminal block on the suprascapular nerve while the patient is sitting. This unique approach, as he explains, is much safer than a transforaminal and even an interlaminar injection and has shown great results. He concludes with a brief overview of his use of stem cell injections, PRP, for specific patients.
Dr. David Rosenblum discusses the webinars and podcasts he has created to help doctors do well on board exams. He explains how different medical backgrounds can be deficient in some aspects as it pertains to physiatry.

Dr. Mayank Gupta presents spinal cord stimulation treatment for chronic abdominal pain (CAP) that originates due to various underlying causes. Dr. Gupta discusses the ongoing challenges for pain management physicians and the health care system. He also mentions that abdominal pain is the top reason for emergency room (ER) visits. He further explains that conventional treatments include neuropathic medication (e.g., Gabapentin, Lyrica), nerve blocks, or opioids that have poor efficacy, harmful complications, or potential dependence (e.g., opioid dependence). Dr. Gupta then focuses on evidence that demonstrates the success of treating CAP with traditional spinal cord stimulation.
