We offer comprehensive, state-of-the-art evaluation and non-surgical treatment of all spinal disorders. The practice is limited to musculoskeletal problems, including pain management, spinal disorders, arthritis and sports medicine. With the diversity of experience and expertise afforded, all regions of the spine (cervical, thoracic, lumbosacral) and muscles, bones and joint problems are treated.

Dr. Bhargava offers specialized care for pain, spine and other bone and joint disorders non-surgically. Dr. Bhargava is board certified in Pain Medicine and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. He completed Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation residency from Temple university hospital and fellowships in interventional spine from University of Pennsylvania and orthopedic sports medicine from University of Massachusetts Medical Center. He is also certified to teach Yoga.

The patients are thoroughly evaluated before any treatment is advised. The treatment may consist of medication, physical therapy, joint or spinal injections. Minimally invasive techniques, such as a new percutaneous disc decompression technique to treat disc herniation may also be performed. These techniques are usually outpatient procedures and patients can go back to work that day or the next day. Some osteoporotic vertebral fractures may be treated with Kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty.
