Chronic pain in any part of your body can stop you from doing what you enjoy. But thanks to Dr. Sung Yang’s effective pain management program, you can breathe a sigh of relief. In his medical practice, he investigates deeper into the underlying cause of your pain to eliminate the cause while reducing the pain itself.
Dr. Sung Yang understands that prescription pills can give you only a short-lived pain relief. It’s because the pills do not address the root cause of the problem but deal only with symptoms. Additionally, there are side effects of using prescription drugs, including stomach ulcers, dizziness, constipation and even low testosterone levels in men. As noted by Dr. Sung Yang, some medications can lead to physical and mental dependence (i.e. addiction).
Are you having problems with arthritis, tendinitis, and bursitis of several joint areas ( shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle) ?

He injects this drug into a particular joint or surrounding structure to ease your pain and restore your mobility.
