      About<\/h2>\n

      As a Texas Native, Dr. Erik Shaw’s primary focus is improving quality of life through a multidisciplinary holistic approach to the practice of medicine and the application of interventional treatment for the management of pain and related disorders, including a degenerative disease of the spine, post-operative spine pain, arthritis, spinal cord injury, and various neurological disorders. He applies several modalities, including interventional procedures, such as epidural steroid and spine and extremity injections, osteopathic manual therapy, physical therapy, biofeedback, and counseling.<\/p>\n

      Dr. Shaw was inspired to become a doctor from a young age, influenced by his father, a primary care physician. Spending time in his father’s office as a child sparked his interest in medicine. Dr. Shaw’s passion for math and science further fueled his ambition. Choosing to specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), or physiatry, Dr. Shaw found a multidisciplinary field that allowed him to blend his mechanical and structural knowledge with neurology and non-surgical orthopedics. This specialization enables him to help patients improve their quality of life, addressing their physical needs in a comprehensive manner.<\/p>\n

      Before becoming a physician, Dr. Shaw worked in Moscow and Houston as a Mission Support Scientist for the Shuttle-Mir Space Program. He is active in research and has written and illustrated several book chapters and articles on pain management.<\/p>\n
