Our Vision
At our clinic we use physical medicine and rehabilitation approach for pain management with body mechanics and spine mechanics as the basis of the approach to analyze the pain source. We do a detailed evaluation including a thorough examination and discuss with the patient possible pain sources and with that in mind various possible options of non-surgical treatments. The treatment focus is to involve the patient in decision-making providing information about the role of physical management, medication management, and role of various injections. Physical management focus includes physical therapy, chiropractic care, pool therapy, and life style modifications. Medications discussion includes various available classes of medications including nerve-based medications, local applications and non-narcotic and narcotic medications. Injections discussed include office-based injections, and injections performed under X-ray guidance including joint injections and epidural injections. Certain advanced procedures are also discussed as needed. An appropriate amount of discussion about the indications to see a surgeon is also done.
We also provide services to patients suffering from accident related injuries and work related injuries including back, and neck pain or other joint injuries. We also coordinate care for people suffering from concussion with post concussion syndrome, which is common in auto accidents.
We do focus on the outcomes, and with that in mind our goal is to provide information to the patients and to put them in the driving seat to make individual and well educated choice, while we offer various treatment services to plan out a successful return to the functional goals of life with no or minimal pain.

Client Testimonials
“I got into a car accident about a year ago. With MIPM, I can still enjoy some aspects of my life pain free. My provider went above and beyond what most doctors do. We came up with a plan of action and this clinic puts my needs first!”
“I really enjoyed being taken care of here at MIPM I strongly believe that they take great care of their patients. They treat us like family and always are flexible with scheduling. Thank you for treating me.”
“Dr. Arora has taken great care of me. I was in a car accident and he has been with me every step of the way. He explains what kinds of injuries I am enduring very well and lays out a treatment plan to help me recover from my injuries and also build the legal aspects of my personal injury case.”
“Dr. Arora was very kind and patient. For the first time, in a long time I did not have to plead about how much pain a flare up cause my spine. He treated me like an adult and respected my choice(s). I was impressed that he recalled that in a few months, I will be traveling and will have a flare-up usually after the flights. He wanted to make sure I had pain control after those visits. He put in orders to start physical therapy and I agreed. I will post after that visit next week-but if the therapist are like him-I think that I have finally found a really nice doctor and staff who listen.”
“Dr. Arora has been an absolutely outstanding doctor for me. Between my headaches from my brain tumor to the 4 bulging discs in my neck he has been able to get my pain under control and has given me a much much better quality of life! He’s a compassionate doctor who really listens to his patients, and sincerely cares for them and they’re well being. I would recommend him to all my family and friends, as I know they would love him as a doctor and would absolutely get the help they needed too.”
“Having had to deal with ongoing back issues for many years. Dr. Arora is the only doctor to actually listen and seem to care about my wellbeing. He and his care team are amazing and friendly making it a easy place to visit.”
