Services Offered

Dr. Paily’s physical medicine and rehabilitation practice across three Houston locations provides a comprehensive range of non-surgical musculoskeletal, pain management, and rehabilitation services. His practice philosophy is centered on restoring function, reducing pain, and improving quality of life through individualized rehabilitation programs and interventional pain procedures.

Musculoskeletal pain evaluation and management is the primary focus of Dr. Paily’s clinical practice. He provides thorough assessments for patients presenting with hip pain, shoulder pain, back pain, neck pain, and generalized musculoskeletal disorders. His diagnostic approach includes detailed physical examination, functional assessment, and when appropriate, electromyography and nerve conduction studies to evaluate nerve and muscle function. Treatment plans are individualized and may combine interventional procedures, therapeutic exercise, and rehabilitation coordination.

Interventional pain management is a core procedural service. Dr. Paily performs fluoroscopic guided injections — a precision image-guided technique — along with back injections including epidural steroid injections and facet joint injections, joint injections for hip, shoulder, and knee conditions, and trigger point injections for muscle pain. These minimally invasive procedures provide targeted pain relief and are designed to improve function and reduce reliance on oral pain medications.

Amputation prevention, care, and rehabilitation services reflect a specialized area of Dr. Paily’s practice. He provides amputation prevention consultations for patients at risk of limb loss, manages the care of patients who have undergone amputation, and designs comprehensive amputee rehabilitation programs. He also prescribes and coordinates prosthetics and orthotics for patients requiring assistive devices, working closely with certified prosthetists and orthotists to optimize patient outcomes.

Cancer rehabilitation services are provided for patients dealing with physical disability and functional decline related to cancer and its treatments. Dr. Paily develops individualized rehabilitation programs to address cancer-related fatigue, weakness, neuropathy, and mobility impairment, helping patients maintain the highest possible level of function during and after cancer treatment.

Fracture management and post-surgical rehabilitation services are available for patients recovering from fractures, orthopedic surgeries, and other musculoskeletal procedures. Dr. Paily designs structured rehabilitation programs to restore strength, mobility, and function following injury or surgery, coordinating with physical and occupational therapy teams at his affiliated hospital systems.

Gait analysis and neurological rehabilitation services address movement disorders, balance impairment, and gait abnormalities resulting from neurological conditions, stroke, or musculoskeletal dysfunction. Dr. Paily uses gait analysis to identify movement patterns contributing to pain or functional limitation and designs targeted rehabilitation interventions to improve walking ability and overall mobility.

Telehealth consultation services may be available for appropriate patients. Patients are encouraged to contact Dr. Paily’s office directly at (713) 797-9191 to confirm telehealth availability and virtual appointment options.
