Neuropathy is nerve pain, and it usually feels different from mechanical pain — burning, electrical, pins and needles, or numbness rather than a deep ache. Diabetic and peripheral neuropathy are the most common forms we see.
Mountain View Pain Center treats it at clinics across the Phoenix metro — Deer Valley, Dunlap, Peoria, Glendale at Westgate, Mesa and Chandler. No referral is needed, and appointments are usually available within the same week.
Most neuropathy is treated conservatively first, and most of it settles there.
Treatment is aimed at the nerve rather than the joint, and interventional options are considered where the examination points at a specific nerve or root. In Phoenix those procedures are performed in office at Mesa and Westgate. Fluoroscopy is on site there for guided injections.
The first visit is an examination, not a procedure. Expect a detailed history — where the pain is, whether it travels, what it feels like, what makes it better and worse, and what you have already tried — followed by a physical examination and a plan.
Bring any imaging you have had of the area, or tell us where it was done so we can request it. That way the appointment is spent on a plan rather than on ordering a scan you have already had. You will not be given an injection at that first visit.
We accept most major insurance plans and are in network with most Medicare Advantage plans in both states. Benefits are verified before your first visit, so you know your share in advance rather than finding out on a statement.
Care after a car accident is billed to med-pay, a health plan or against the claim. If you are paying out of pocket, you are told the cost before anything is done. No referral is needed.

Usually Chiropractic care and Physical Therapy first, with Acupuncture where pain is limiting what you can do. If that is not enough, interventional Pain Management is the next step, and in Phoenix those procedures are performed at Mesa and Westgate.
It depends on how long you have had it and what is causing it. The first appointment gives you a plan with a point at which it should be reassessed, so you are not left guessing.
Not usually. Imaging is ordered when the examination raises a question it can answer. If you have already had a scan of the area, bring the report.
