If you've been telling yourself it's not bad enough to see a doctor, Dr. Kurt Wilhelm has an answer for that. Back pain that doesn't resolve on its own is worth evaluating.

Our fellowship-trained physiatrists and pain management physicians identify the source before recommending treatment. No referral required.

Before surgery is ever on the table, it's worth knowing what else is available.

PRP, BMAC, and orthobiologic treatments offer an intervention pathway for appropriate candidates, one that works best when pursued before symptoms become significant.

PRP initiates the body's healing response at the site of injury. Our fellowship-trained physiatrists and pain management physicians evaluate whether these options are appropriate based on your specific diagnosis, not a general protocol.

You got through August telling yourself it would improve once you settled in. It's September, and it hasn't.

Whether it's low back tightness from a long commute, shoulder soreness from summer training, or knee pain that's been there since May, our fellowship-trained physiatrists and pain management physicians evaluate the source before recommending anything.

No referral required. Most patients are seen within 24 hours.

For patients and caregivers dealing with focal pain in the foot, ankle, knee, hip, groin, or pelvis, knowing your diagnostic pathway is the first step toward relief.

Kristina Jay walks through how dorsal root ganglion (DRG) therapy works: by using electrical signals to interrupt pain at specific nerve clusters, before those signals ever reach the spinal cord.

This therapy is designed for adults with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and causalgia affecting the lower body, and it starts with a conversation with your pain management specialist about whether it's the right fit for you.

You've tried physical therapy, medications, injections, and the pain is still there. Before ruling out options, it's worth asking whether vertebrogenic pain has been evaluated as a possible source.

At Desert Spine and Sports Physicians, our fellowship-trained physiatrists and pain management physicians review imaging and conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether the basivertebral nerve may be contributing to chronic symptoms.

Not every patient is a candidate, which is exactly why the evaluation comes first.

One of the questions we hear most from patients with low back pain who want to stay active is whether going to the gym will make things worse.

Dr. Susan Sorosky addresses it directly.

Our fellowship-trained physiatrists and pain management physicians evaluate the source before recommending exercise guidance, so recommendations are built around your diagnosis.

The heat backs off, and Arizona athletes move fast. By September, the gym is full again, the trails are open, and fall sports are back in session.
That shift from summer to fall activity is also when the spine, joints, and soft tissues that were quiet all August start making themselves known.

Our fellowship-trained physiatrists and pain management physicians evaluate the source of musculoskeletal symptoms before recommending treatment. No referral required.

Dr. Pannozzo recently partnered with Boston Scientific on a patient education webinar covering advanced options for chronic pain.

Chronic pain doesn't always respond to medication or physical therapy alone, and surgery isn't the only next step.

Dr. Pannozzo walked through three advanced, non-surgical options our physicians offer: Spinal Cord Stimulation, the Intracept procedure, and Peripheral Nerve Stimulation.

Swipe through to see which therapy may be worth discussing at your next appointment.
