The Desert Spine and Sports Physicians Approach

1. Evaluation

Our physiatrists take the necessary time to accurately pinpoint the source of a problem using specific diagnostic tools, including a detailed medical history and a complete musculoskeletal and neurological examination.

2. Testing

Rehabilitation physicians are trained in the interpretation of imaging studies such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, and our physiatrists also perform electrodiagnostic testing (nerve conduction studies and EMG) to help diagnose certain nerve and muscle disorders.

3. Treatment

Once we identify the source of pain, we develop a specific treatment plan tailored to a patient's needs. This comprehensive program may include individually focused physical therapy programs, targeted interventional procedures under fluoroscopy and ultrasound guidance, and non-opiate adjunctive medications.

4. Recovery

Our innovative non-surgical treatments focusing on the whole person allow people to return to fully functional lives — often more functional than before.

Benefits of Our Advanced Treatments

Our comprehensive approach to treatment can help dramatically activate tissue regeneration, accelerate recovery time, ease pain, and restore function throughout the body. Benefits include:
