Dr. Matthew S. Root, DO

Top3Doctors.com selected Dr. Matthew Root as a top physiatrist in Sherman Oaks because of his dual board certification, strong training, and hands-on background in physical therapy. He is board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation and in pain medicine. Dr. Root earned his DO from Western University of Health Sciences and completed residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. After an interventional pain and spine fellowship in Santa Barbara, he served as assistant director of that fellowship program. He also holds a master’s degree in physical therapy from Quinnipiac University, so he understands rehab from both sides.

What we like most about Dr. Root is the range of care he offers at Innovative Pain and Spine Center, the Sherman Oaks practice he founded. He performs nerve conduction and EMG testing to find the source of radiculopathy and neuropathy. His treatments include nerve blocks, epidural injections, regenerative medicine, and neuromodulation for neck pain, back pain, headaches, and sports injuries. Dr. Root holds privileges at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, Northridge Hospital Medical Center, and Glendale Memorial Hospital. For these reasons, Top3Doctors.com proudly names Dr. Matthew Root among the top three physiatrists in Sherman Oaks.
