About Synovation Medical Group
Synovation Medical Group, a multidisciplinary pain‑management practice with locations throughout California, the Southwest United States and Florida, specializes in comprehensive, non‑surgical pain relief for chronic musculoskeletal conditions. The practice blends orthopedic expertise with regenerative orthopedics, offering patients alternatives such as platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) and prolotherapy to restore tissue function while reducing reliance on medications. The team’s care philosophy emphasizes individualized, evidence‑based programs that integrate physical therapy, occupational therapy, mindfulness, cognitive‑behavioral therapy and advanced interventional procedures. Patients can enroll in structured pathways like the Functional Restoration Program, Power Over Pain Program, or Productivity Enhancement Program, each designed to address physical, emotional and behavioral aspects of chronic pain. Advanced procedures—including spinal cord stimulation, DRG stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, kyphoplasty, SI joint fusion, intrathecal infusion pumps and targeted nerve blocks—provide minimally invasive options for conditions ranging from back and leg pain to neuropathic syndromes. Founded in 1990 by Dr. Clayton Varga, Synovation Medical Group has grown to more than 20 locations and is led by a diverse team of physicians, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, occupational therapists and behavioral health specialists. The practice’s leadership includes Dr. Mauro Zappaterra, MD, PhD, and a full complement of credentialed clinicians such as Dr. Bradley Chesler, MD, Dr. Michael Erdman, MD, and Dr. Marc E. Lynch, DO, Chief Medical Officer, underscoring its commitment to cutting‑edge research, multidisciplinary collaboration and patient‑centered care.
