About me

I am a medical professional with specialization in orthopedics and sub-specialty in lower extremity and spine with extensive experience in pain management in acute, sub-acute and chronic pathologies.

I have extensive experience in ARL trauma management and medical certification processes with special military regimes in the country.

I attend my private practice where I have the time to dedicate to my patients in a calm and professional manner and with the time they require.

As one of the most extensive and studied processes in the world, I perform infiltration processes for the management of different pathologies that include axonal blockages, hyaluronic acid and stem cells.

Finally, and as part of the services that I offer as a professional, I care for bedridden patients or patients with difficult travel conditions at home in the north of Bogotá or virtually if required.

Tennis Elbow (Epicondylitis)

Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is a painful condition of the elbow caused by overuse. It is not surprising that playing tennis or another racket sport can cause this condition. However, several other sports and activities besides sports can be risky.

Acute, sub-acute or chronic spinal pain

Low back pain has usually been classified according to timing as acute, subacute and chronic, with the former being pain that subsides before 4 weeks, subacute pain between 4 and 12 weeks, and chronic pain that lasts longer than 12 weeks.

Sciatic impingement

When a patient has a symptomatic herniated disc, the disc itself is not painful, but rather the displacement of the disc is pinching a nerve. This produces pain called radicular pain (nerve root pain) which can travel to other parts of the body, for example, down from the lower back to the leg or from the neck to the arm.

The heel spur is a triangular or lance-shaped growth of the heel bone. It occurs when the plantar fascia (elastic tissue that connects the heel to the area under the toes) is subjected to excessive traction and overload, generating micro-tears in its insertion.

Knee osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative, "wear and tear" disease that occurs most often in older people, but can also occur in younger people due to previous injuries to the knee. Cartilage gradually wears away, decreasing the protection of the bones.
