Meet Your Pain Management Doctor
Dr. Amir Norbaksh
Dr. Amir Norbaksh is specialized in interventional pain management with a focus on regenerative medicine. He went to medical school locally at Western University in Pomona, California. He then finished his residency in anesthesiology at New York Medical College with an emphasis on regional anesthesia before returning home to Southern California.
He is a board-certified anesthesiologist and one of few physicians in the region who is certified in ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal pain medicine. Skills earned in operating musculoskeletal ultrasound gives the doctor the tools for much better precision in accessing target structures, increasing safety while eliminating the unnecessary need for radiation from x-ray fluoroscopy machines.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is pain management?

When should I see a pain management doctor?
When you are experiencing pain for a prolonged period of time and can’t get your pain under control despite treatment and healthy lifestyle habits, it’s time to seek help from a pain management doctor.
What should I expect during my consultation with a pain management doctor?
During your consultation, you may have to complete a detailed history and undergo a physical exam. Your doctor may also order tests such as blood tests, x-rays, MRI’s etc. to evaluate your pain. These procedures allow your doctor to have a better understanding of the pain you are experiencing and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.

Will I be asleep for the procedure?

Is it safe to drive after the procedure?
The numbing medications we use can cause temporary numbness and weakness to the injection site. For your safety, arrange for transportation with a friend or family member prior to your appointment.
