Medication

As licensed physicians, the medical professionals at Nevada Muscle & Nerve will often prescribe medications to help manage pain, diminish swelling and inflammation, help with sleeplessness, muscle spasm, depression, and so on. We try to use medications sparingly and only when necessary. We closely monitor medication and utilize risk management testing and screening protocols to ensure patients are good candidates and taking medication as prescribed.



Although helpful for symptom management, medication therapy is not a primary mode of treatment at our Las Vegas clinic. Any medications prescribed for your orthopedic problem are intended only to alleviate discomfort and other symptoms temporarily until a more permanent orthopedic solution is achieved.
