If you are being treated by a Chiropractor, when is it a good time to see a pain specialist ?

If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident, the answer is you should be calling NOVA immediately following the accident. At NOVA, we work with a collaborated team to integrate conservative and interventional treatments.

If you are experiencing pain that radiates from one part of your body to another or if you are experiencing any numbness, weakness, or tingling you should ask your Chiropractor to refer you to NOVA right away. (NO You do not need a referral to be seen- you can schedule on your own)

If you have been experiencing pain for longer than 4 weeks, its time to integrate pain management.

At NOVA, nearly 95% of our patients are actively in care with Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, Personal Trainers or all of the above. The coordination of care provides the highest level of patient outcomes.

What is a radiofrequency ablation and why is my Interventional Pain Physician recommending me for this treatment ?

A Radiofrequency ablation or an RFA is uses an electric current to heat up a small area of nerve tissue, stopping or the pain signals the pain signals. While some patients call this "burning of the nerves" don't let that scare you.

Patient who receive RFA treatments have a high rate of alleviation from their symptoms as the pain receptors are no longer "firing pain signals"

It is reported that one third of adults suffer from joint pain. Joint pain does affects people from all age ranges, with knee pain being the most common followed by the shoulder then the hips.

Sporting injuries, bursitis and tears of any joint space can cause inflammation and pain. Over time if not treated, osteoarthritis can occur causing chronic joint pain.

There are many treatments for joint pain now outside of the traditional steroidal treatments including regenerative treatments such as PRP or Stem Cell, hyaluronic acid treatments such as supartz.

We are all aware of whiplash, but do you know what the rapid force and motion of "whiplash" does to your brain? This picture perfectly shows the forceful trauma to ones brain during whiplash.

While we treat auto accident patients every day with whiplash, it is critical for patients who have been diagnosed with a concussion or those experiencing symptoms to see a Neurologist to ensure the brain did not obtain serious or long term injuries. When traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs are not diagnosed and managed properly, serious long term effects can take place such as memory loss, mood disorders, early onset of dementia, and more.

At NOVA, we believe in a coordination of care for each of our patients. Our team of trained Personal Injury and Auto Accident specialists work together with our patients' chiropractors, physical therapists, and external medical providers to ensure the highest level of care and recovery.

What is an epidural and why is it beneficial? Many of our patients come see our Pain Specialists as a pain treatment option before visiting a spinal surgeon. These patients experience severe pain in their necks and/or backs and are looking for a way to be relieved of this pain and be able to continue to do their normally daily activities. What many people don't realize, is that this procedure is super quick, only lasting from 5-10 minutes. Several patients we see when they first come to us, are unable to work, cook, clean, and do even the most simple daily tasks due to their debilitating pain. After they complete their treatment plans, they are (ideally) back to work, and able to enjoy their lives like they did before their injury/accident. If you are experiencing severe neck or back pain, give us a call and we can get you scheduled for a new patient exam with our doctor, to determine whether or not Epidural Injections are a good option for you!

Hello Arizona Friends & Family

As many of you know, NOVA has partnered with Vitalant Blood Drive in honor of my Brother Brady Sell. We will be hosting our first annual blood drives on August 21, 2021 at the Tempe location and September 21st at the Flagstaff location.

Brady was a loyal blood donor and would give the shirt off his back for anyone. Truly a beautiful soul that became too pure for this world. Tragically, he lost his life after fighting in ICU for 26 days. In that time Brady received well over 100 transfusions of blood and platelets. He was so close to coming back home to us. We are forever grateful for the donors that allowed us every moment with him and to see his last smile.

And in typical Brady fashion... We will be having one of our epic Brady/ NOVA style parties and all are welcome.

Brunch, Bubbles and Blood Drive
(donors will be given juice and snacky snacks and will have to skip the champagne this time :)

If you are a vendor and would like to attend, please contact me.

If you are a Medical Practice or Law Office that would like to participate and be featured on the Vitalant invitations please contact me.

If you are a local restaurant or local business that would like to contribute to donor gifts, please contact me.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, IF YOU ARE A DONOR OR WILLING TO DONATE... PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP. SIGN UPS WILL BEGIN NEXT WEEK.

Be Brave. Be Kind. Be You. Be the Change. *
