BOARD-CERTIFIED PHYSICAL MEDICINE & REHABILITATION
Naseem A. Shekhani, MD
Providing three decades of precision clinical leadership in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R). Dedicated to non-surgical musculoskeletal restoration, electrodiagnostic nerve evaluations, and comprehensive pain recovery protocols designed to restore function.
DIAGNOSTIC PHILOSOPHY
A Diagnosis, Not a Guess
Acute pain from an accident injury (such as a car accident injury, slip and fall injury, or a work-related injury) is frequently mismanaged when treatment precedes precise anatomical discovery. Rather than masking symptoms through recurring medication cycles or generalized interventions, clinical care begins with an uncompromising imperative: isolating the exact physiological pain generator.
As a board-certified specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R / Physiatry), Dr. Naseem Shekhani evaluates the entire neuromusculoskeletal framework. Physiatry bridges orthopedic precision and neurological diagnostics, evaluating how nerve conduction, muscle function, and spinal biomechanics interact to cause dysfunction.
Our practice emphasizes evidence-based, nonsurgical restorative medicine. By combining advanced electrodiagnostic testing (EMG/NCS) with targeted interventional therapies, we formulate individualized rehabilitation pathways that restore function, alleviate pain, and prevent unnecessary surgical trauma.
