General Practitioners

• Osteoporosis
• Arthritis
  The specific type of arthritis is defined based on the areas of the body affected by arthritis, prior injury of the joint, cause of arthritis, and the age of the patient. These factors make up four common types of arthritis including osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
• Fibromyalgia
  A similar condition called fibromyalgia can also lead to neck pain as it often causes muscle pains within the upper body.
• Emergency Care
  When chronic pain becomes unbearable, your first thought might be to head to an emergency room or call 911 for help. Maybe that is the right thing to do if your pain has reached a level like never before. Simultaneously, if none of the regular pain medications or remedies are helping, the ER might be the best place to get help.

Gynecologists

• Endometriosis
  In some cases, low back pain may have nothing to do with a problem of the back at all. If an individual’s pain is actually caused by an underlying medical condition such as kidney disease, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, etc. then it is known as referred pain. In order to effectively treat this symptomatic discomfort in the low back, the underlying condition must be properly addressed.

  Dr Merson is amazing. She admitted me as a new patient at the Spring height of COVID. She helped get rid of my Sciatica pain within two visits and put me on the road to recovery from my accident. I’m a winter resident in FL, she is absolutely my Dr of choice. Can’t recommend her enough.
• Whiplash
  Common in automobile accidents, whiplash is a condition that occurs when the neck has been overextended through rapid back-and-forth motion. This injury must be diagnosed and treated by a medical professional, who will be able to prescribe an appropriate method of treatment that should resolve the issue in a matter of weeks.

• Physical Therapy
  We at Palm Beach Pain Institute, serving the entire Boca Raton area, strongly endorse physical therapy-style movements and stretches as part of your daily exercise routine. It is widely known that benefits of exercise include improvement of cardiovascular conditioning, flexibility, and muscle strength. What is not widely known is that exercise is not necessarily working up a sweat and lifting heavy weights. Exercise may be used to help improve core strength, control of movement, and range of movement; so, it is an important component in spine rehabilitation, pain management, and management of various spine conditions. Benefits may be maximized by identifying key problem areas at the foundation and addressing these areas with appropriate exercises – exercise prescription.
