Pain Management Made Easy for Canadian Snowbirds

For decades, Arizona and Canada have shared a great relationship. Canadians flock to the beautiful desert to escape the cold. In fact, more than 800,000 Canadians travel to Arizona annually and about 100,000 winter here.

For Canadian snowbirds, finding quality pain management can be challenging outside of their home country, which is where our team at Apex Pain Specialists in Chandler, Arizona, can help. Both Dr. Naveen Reddy and Dr. Maziar Massrour understand the importance of making quality pain management services accessible to Canadian snowbirds, especially given the reality that chronic pain affects 20% of the global population.

Types of pain that we treat

The good news for Canadian snowbirds is that we offer an extensive suite of evidence-based and science-backed treatments for a wide range of conditions, such as:

• Herniated discs
• Pinched nerves
• Sciatica
• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Arthritis
• Neuropathy
• Hip pain
• Shoulder pain
• Knee pain

We also have a good deal of experience helping with more acute issues, such as automobile accident injuries and sports injuries.

As you can see, this list is extensive and it isn’t even complete. Both Dr. Reddy and Dr. Massrour are board-certified pain management and anesthesiology physicians, so they understand the nature of pain and the many ways it can present itself.

Innovative, effective, and traditional pain management

At our practice, our goal is to offer minimally invasive and nonsurgical options for managing pain. As part of our efforts, we offer traditional treatments that have great track records. We also stay ahead of the curve by offering emerging treatments that are changing the way we approach musculoskeletal damage.

To give you a better idea, our well-tested pain management techniques include:

• Joint injections for painful joints
• Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to help with spine and joint conditions
• Epidural injections to relieve pain at its source around the nerve roots in the spine
• Pain management medications
• Viscosupplementation therapy for arthritic knees 
• Spinal cord stimulation (SCS), which disrupts pain signaling, for low back/midback/neck pain 
• Discseel® for damaged discs causing low back and sciatica pain
• Kyphoplasty for compression fractures in the spine

While these pain management techniques have been available for years and work very well, we also pride ourselves on following the science, which is why we also offer regenerative therapies. These therapies are designed to go an important step further in pain management: heal the underlying problem by promoting tissue repair and regeneration. These regenerative techniques include:

• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to promote healing through growth factors
• Stem cell therapy to promote cellular regeneration
• Exosome therapy, which are extracellular vesicles that initiate healing and repair in damaged tissues

Lastly, if you’re dealing with a condition that's progressive and that doesn’t respond well to other pain management techniques, we offer ketamine infusion therapy, which is a highly effective method to manage chronic pain.

So, as you enjoy the abundant sunshine and warm temps that the Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, Queen Creek, Maricopa, Casa Grande, and Chandler areas have to offer, know that your pain management needs will be easily met.
