About Dr. Savage

A multimodal approach to managing pain

Dr. Kamara M. Savage is a board-certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physician with 13 years of experience. She practices at Integrative Sports and Spine in Long Beach, specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal pain and rehabilitation, and focuses on improving quality of life through a multimodal approach.

She grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, and completed her Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She stayed at UAB for medical school, graduating in 2012, then completed her Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, where she also served as an assistant professor, teaching residents and practicing general physiatry.

Her clinical work covers both inpatient rehabilitation and outpatient musculoskeletal care, including ultrasound-guided joint injections, spasticity management with botulinum toxin, and electromyography testing. She later trained further in interventional pain management, in fluoroscopy-guided joint injections, peripheral nerve blocks, ablation techniques and spinal injections.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Savage enjoys cooking, building wooden furniture, hiking, watching sports, and travelling to new places.

What patients say about Dr. Savage

Integrative Sports and Spine is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 72 Google reviews.

★★★★★This is my pain doctor, Dr Savage. She is the best. One of the few doctors around today that actually looks you in the eye and seems to care exactly how you're feeling and what your pain level is and how to fix it. I'm going to her because I have four screws and a plate in my back and I'm in constant pain. She has helped me manage it to where I'm on a minimal amount of painkillers and a maximum amount of comfort.William KrebsGoogle review
