Conditions Treated

At Valley Medical we treat chronic pain caused by a wide variety of conditions. Before we can determine the proper treatment, we must identify the specific causes of your pain.

Back and Neck Pain

Chronic back and neck pain can be caused by an injury to any of the structures in your back, such as muscles and ligaments. It can also develop due to degenerative changes in your spine. Some of the most common causes of persistent back pain include:

• Arthritis
• Sciatica
• Osteoporosis
• Herniated discs
• Ankylosing spondylitis
• Spinal deformities
• Nerve compression
• Compression fractures
• Degenerative disc disease
• Spinal stenosis
• Direct trauma
• Muscle strains
• Deteriorating joints
• Muscle strains
• Cancer

At Valley Medical, we treat back and neck pain arising from any of these chronic conditions or from sports, work-related, or other injuries.

Limb and Joint Pain

Chronic pain in the joints (elbows, knees, ankles, etc.) and in the legs and arms can have a number of causes. The most common causes of limb and joint pain include:

• Arthritis
• Carpel tunnel syndrome
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Diabetic neuropathy
• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
• Lyme disease
• Piriformis Syndrome
• Bone cancer

Headache Pain

Many patients suffer from chronic pain resulting from headaches. We treat all types of chronic headache pain, including pain from: 

• Cluster headaches

The chronic pain experts at Valley Medical can help relieve all these types of headache pain.

General Body Pain

At Valley Medical and Wellness, we also treat chronic pain that affects your overall body. This can include abdominal pain, pelvic pain, and muscle pain.

General body pain can have many causes, including illness, injury, nerve damage, shingles, and fibromyalgia. We help identify the cause of your specific pain to devise the most appropriate and effective treatment.

Cancer Pain

Living with cancer can be a painful experience. As cancer grows it can apply pressure to or destroy nerves, organs, and bones, resulting in significant and chronic pain. Chemotherapy and other cancer treatments can also damage nerves, causing chronic nerve pain in the arms and legs.

Cancer and its treatment can cause a variety of pain-related issues, including: 

• Peripheral neuropathy
• Nerve pain
• Bone and joint pain
• Spinal pain
• Abdominal and pelvic pain

At Valley Medical we empathize with what you're going through and will device treatments to help mitigate any cancer-related chronic pain.

Work-Related Injuries

Many instances of chronic pain result from work-related injuries. Our pain experts can provide comprehensive pain relief treatment for a number of common work-related injuries, including:

• Falls
• Trips
• Auto accidents
• Machinery accidents
• Repetitive use injuries

These work-related injuries can cause chronic pain in your back, neck, joints, and other areas of your body—all of which can treat. We can also help you deal with any issues arising from workers' compensation.

Sports Injuries

Sports-related injuries can result in painful trauma to affected parts of the body. Some sports injuries result from overuse of a specific area of your body. Other injuries result from trauma resulting from rough contact, faulty equipment, improper warmups, or overexertion. At Valley Medical we treat both the cause of the pain and the pain itself.
