Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Neurography is a ground-breaking new development in medical imaging. Invented by Dr. Aaron Filler, MR Neurography employs standard MRI machines outfitted with patented "pulse sequences," allowing physicians and surgeons to "see" nerves inside the human body - something that was impossible only a few years before. As Dr. Aaron Filler, MD, PhD explains, the power of MR Neurography means better and more accurate medical scans for issues affecting the nerves and spine -- resulting in more accurate diagnoses and treatments for patients suffering from spine and nerve pain.

   

Pudendal Neuralgia

Join neurosurgeon Dr. Aaron Filler of the Institute for Nerve Medicine in Santa Monica, California, as he explores an often-difficult to discuss subject, pudendal neuralgia. Numbness or pain in the urogenital area (perineum) affects thousands, yet many are embarrassed to discuss it with their physician. Dr. Filler discusses symptoms, the difficulty in accurately diagnosing pudendal neuralgia, and the best strategy for resolving this difficult condition.

   

Open MR Guided Injections

Dr. Aaron Filler of the Institute for Nerve Medicine in Santa Monica, California discusses the revolutionary new technique for addressing many spine and nerve pain problems - open MRI-guided injections. These minimally invasive procedures provide many patients with the relief they seek without requiring the recovery time and pain associated with traditional surgeries. If you're seeking a solution for your spine or nerve-related health problem, this video may provide you with the insight you seek.

   

Sciatica and Piriformis Syndrome

Many people diagnosed with "sciatica" - pain that runs from their buttocks to their feet - may actually have piriformis syndrome. Dr. Aaron Filler of the Institute for Nerve Medicine in Santa Monica, California, explains the key differences between these two afflictions, their respective treatments, and how piriformis syndrome can be alleviated with open-MR guided injections as opposed to painful, invasive back surgery.

   

Do You Really Need Back Surgery?

Noted neurosurgeon Dr. Aaron Filler of the Institute for Nerve Medicine in Santa Monica, California, discusses the issues surrounding back surgeries to alleviate spine and nerve pain. Alternative therapies are covered, as are new MR-guided injections which can often relieve or eliminate back pain instead of painful, invasive surgeries.
