 I'm Dr. Jay Carey. I'm an assistant professor in the departments of orthopedic surgery and anesthesiology. I did my residency in physiatry at the Baylor College of Medicine, and then I moved to Maryland to do my interventional pain fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital. As an interventional pain specialist, I offer various non-operative treatment strategies to help treat various chronic pain conditions. I offer joint and bursa injections, nerve blocks, the full spectrum of spinal interventions, as well as neuromodulation via peripheral nerve and spinal cord stimulation. Simply put, neuromodulation is the use of electrical impulses to various nerve targets in the body to stop abnormal pain signaling. From a research standpoint, I'm interested in optimizing the large-scale effectiveness of neuromodulation. This way, we can help identify appropriate patients and pathologies that may be most responsive to various treatment strategies that we can offer. The main focus and driving force behind our practice is to help patients regain a state of functional and physical well-being. Whether it's helping patients get back to standing and walking, or even back to running in a robust exercise program, we're really interested in helping patients get back to feeling well and engaging with their friends, loved ones, and community. And it's that humanistic value that really inspires us to continue offering a high level of care for our patients.
