General Practitioners

Arthritis
Fibromyalgia
In fact we have achieved a 50% success rate in avoiding surgical intervention for many orthopedic and nerve injury problems, with a high rate of success in returning patients to life and work activities. This program incorporates a combination of pain management and neuromusculoskelatal relaxation training and progressive muscle relaxation techniques which allow patients to gain voluntary control over their pain, dysfunction and disability.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
It was a quiet, yet progressive threat which, in its early stages, seemed easy to control.Â But once it took hold in the general population, carpal tunnel syndrome became an overwhelming foe causing pain, suffering and disability in millions of patients and their families across the United States and throughout the world.
Neurolysis
A New Way To Free the Median Nerve at the Carpal Tunnel with NO INCISIONS!! Carpal Tunnel Median Nerve Neurolysis Under Ultrasound Guidance (Hydroneurolysis)

Ultrasound
Many people associate relaxation techniques, biofeedback and hypnosis with loss of control or doing the hula dance in a trance. It is actually the exact opposite, a heightened state of awareness and conscious acceptance of positive suggestions, which results in healing physiologic responses just like acupuncture, and therapy modalities such as ultrasound and massage. The difference is that the patient can do this for themselves, anytime and anywhere. It is a safe convenient easy way to limit medication, improve sleep, decrease pain and allow one to gain better control over their own life.
MRI
There are many procedures available today to evaluate people with arthritis. Pain in the wrist and the joints of the hand can be evaluated by x-ray and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) studies, which allow us to view the bones of the joint and also the soft tissues.
Radiology
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound is a well-accepted treatment and diagnostic tool in the radiology and orthopedic community for the treatment and diagnosis of orthopaedic and musculoskeletal injury. It is an exciting new way to look inside and even operate on the body with no incisions.
X-Rays

Whiplash
Thoracic outlet injuries come from many causes. They may result from an automobile accident or a so-called unresolved cervical strain and sprain or whiplash injury, tractioning or yanking injuries of the arm or neck, repetitive strain such as continuously pushing, pulling, keying, scanning, and heavy, regular lifting or aggressive lifting.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is another method for evaluating joints. This is done by placing a small telescope inside the joint to directly visualize injury or abnormalities. This can be done under a local anesthetic and give us a very good idea of whether arthritis is forming in the joint or other problems present.
Hand Surgery
Some of his society memberships include the AMA, AOA, Philadelphia Hand Society, Jefferson Hand Club, Jefferson Alumni Association of Thomas Jefferson University Medical College, The Jefferson Orthopaedic Society, The American Society for Clinical Hypnosis, The Greater Philadelphia Society for Clinical Hypnosis, The Greater Philadelphia Pain Society, The American Association for Hand Surgery (A.A.H.S.) and he is Past President of the Hand Surgery Section of the AOAO.

Physical Therapists

Occupational Therapy
The program consists of face-to-face formal group instruction with Dr. Fried teaching the patient the technique of pain management and neuromusculoskelatal relaxation training.. It is a formal education, rehabilitation and life modification program coupled with techniques to relax the muscles and mind to decrease pain and spasm, no different than physical and occupational therapy but with the advantage that it can be self applied any time it is needed and the relief is reproducible at will on a regular basis. After completing the initial session the patient will then undergo eight to 12 follow-up sessions. These are intentionally done with other individuals present, teaching patients that these techniques can be utilized by anyone, anywhere and in any situation.
Frozen Shoulder
Tennis Elbow
Thoracic outlet syndrome involves the nerves between the neck and the shoulder. All of the nerves which go into the arm travel through the thoracic outlet and then become the major nerves of the arm-the median nerve of the carpal tunnel, the ulnar nerve or funny-bone nerve behind the elbow, and the radial nerve in the tennis elbow area going to the back of the arm.
