ABOUT DR. BATHLA
Dr. Bathla was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio where he completed both his undergraduate and medical training at Wright State University School of Medicine. While in medical school, he performed research in Rehabilitation Medicine earning him scholarships throughout all four years of his medical school training. His research was specifically concentrated in Spinal Cord Injury and its Rehabilitation through Functional Electrical Stimulation.
This led to his path of post-graduate training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the prestigious University of Chicago/Schwab Rehab. During his training, he took a keen interest in pain medicine which led to his further specialization in Pain Management in the University of Chicago’s Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care. Dr. Bathla continued on as attending physician at the University of Chicago for an additional year until he decided to open his own multidisciplinary pain management center. He established Chicago Sports and Spine Pain Management Physicians in the South Loop in 2009.
Dr. Bathla’s philosophy of treatment transcends simple pain pathways as he acknowledges that chronic pain is a complex phenomenon that is not simply explained by any single painful stimulation. Any single pain can have multiple causes and exacerbating factors and therefore the treatment of pain can be equally complex. His treatment thus focuses not only on the primary pain generator but also the multiple contributing factors. Thus he utilizes a multidisciplinary approach utilizing therapy, psychology, medications, interventional procedures, nutrition and “alternative” therapies such as acupuncture and naprapathy. He bases his success not on pain scores but on functional gains. The goal is not the elimination of the pain, rather the increase in function that occurs with the treatment.
Dr. Bathla took a keen interest in international medicine while in residency. He has made multiple trips to provide medical care throughout the world during natural disasters. He also serves as the Vice-President of Awassa Children’s Project in Ethiopia. The Awassa Children’s Center provides housing, food healthcare and education to approximately 120 orphans affected by HIV/AIDS. It also provides a Vocational Training Center that provides 100 adult students 1-year certified programs in Computers, Woodwork, Electrical work and Metal work.
Among Dr. Bathla’s other interests are camping, international travel, photography, and his family. He is very proud to raise his children in Chicago so they can learn to be positive members of a large vibrant community.
