Your care, built around the root cause of your pain
Our team is committed to a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to each person's pain, so you receive the most appropriate care.
How we treat your pain
Every individual is evaluated for the root cause of their pain, not just a "quick fix" approach that only provides symptomatic relief. We employ a methodical, physical-medicine-oriented approach that includes analysis of biomechanics and joint motion, as well as skeletal, nerve and muscle tissues.
Only the latest diagnostic tools and technologies are used by the professionals at Nevada Advanced Pain Specialists, including EMG and nerve testing and diagnostic pain injections.
The most important information comes from you, the patient. Your providers will spend time asking questions and listening to you, because your personal experience of your pain is some of the most important information for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
When pain is treated properly, the result is a more active lifestyle, and a healthier, happier you.
Our goals for your care
- Treat the source of your pain after diagnosing the problem
- Decrease your level of pain and suffering
- Return you to your maximum level of function and independence
- Help restore your quality of life
- Use non-surgical treatments to minimize your rehabilitation time
