A physician from the Universidad del Norte Barranquilla and an Anesthesiologist from the Universidad de Cartagena. He holds a subspecialty in interventional pain management from the University of Puerto Rico (United States), is a Specialist in Prolotherapy (Space City Pain Houston Texas), and has a Master’s in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound.

He has extensive experience in pain management, with training in all techniques for its improvement, especially prolotherapy, having performed over 7,000 procedures in this discipline for pain treatment in the last 8 years. This procedure has a high effectiveness and nearly zero risk of complications, making it a great alternative to joint surgery.

In the United States, around 2 million joint replacement surgeries are performed annually, and in general, 25 to 30 million joint surgeries, both open and arthroscopies, are conducted. Studies show that up to 40% of these surgeries could have been avoided, as complications are observed, including chronic pain that becomes very difficult to control after surgery.

Surgery can always be done, but never undone. This is why he recommends undergoing prolotherapy treatment before considering surgical intervention whenever possible, as it allows the joint to regenerate naturally, without surgery, thus improving pain and mobility.
