Diagnosis before treatment. A full history and examination, with imaging ordered when the findings call for it rather than as a formality. You will leave the first visit understanding what is causing your symptoms.
The least invasive thing that will work. Many Aurora patients are managed with Chiropractic care and Physical Therapy alone. Injections and interventional options are available when they are genuinely the right next step, not as a default.
One team, one chart. If your plan needs to change — imaging added, an interventional option considered, Physical Therapy brought in — it changes inside the same building, without a referral out or a repeated history.
Most Aurora patients arrive with pain in the lower back or the neck, and most have already tried rest, over-the-counter medication and time. What separates a case that resolves from one that keeps returning is usually the diagnosis rather than the treatment: a disc problem, a facet joint, an irritated nerve root and a muscular strain all hurt in similar places and respond to entirely different care.
Our pain physicians identify which of those is driving your symptoms, then treat accordingly — with medication management, targeted injections, or a referral down the hall to Chiropractic care or Physical Therapy.
Nerve pain announces itself differently from muscular pain. Instead of a dull ache in one place, you feel sharp, burning or electric sensations that travel, often with numbness, tingling or weakness further down the limb. In the lower back this commonly presents as sciatica, with pain running through the buttock and down the leg.
Treatment begins with identifying where the nerve is being compressed, because treating the site of the symptom rarely resolves it. Options at our Aurora clinics range from conservative care through to decompression. Where the findings support an epidural steroid injection or a nerve block, that procedure is performed at our Northglenn and InterQuest clinics or at our surgery center in Denver, and at Lowry on specific days.
Joint pain is one of the most common reasons Aurora patients search for a pain clinic, and one of the areas where non-surgical options are most often overlooked. Arthritis, bursitis, rotator cuff irritation and post-injury stiffness all respond to a combination of joint injections, Physical Therapy and activity modification.
We assess the whole chain rather than the painful joint in isolation — a knee that hurts on stairs is frequently a hip that has stopped rotating — and we will tell you plainly when a surgical opinion is the right next step.
Most pain clinics can only offer what is in the building. At our Aurora locations, four service lines sit under one roof: medical Pain Management, Chiropractic care, Physical Therapy and Acupuncture. Your pain physician can see what your physical therapist is working on and what your imaging showed, because it is one record rather than four.
That matters most for the cases that do not resolve in a straight line — chronic pain, nerve pain, and injuries that keep coming back.
Pain Management appointments are available at the East Aurora and Southeast Aurora clinics.
Board-certified Pain Management physicians and physician assistants see patients across our Aurora clinics, working alongside the chiropractors, physical therapists and acupuncturists in the same building. You can see who practices where on our Colorado Pain Management providers page, or browse the full provider directory.
Our clinics offer Pain Management, Chiropractic care, Physical Therapy and Acupuncture, and both keep the same hours: Monday to Thursday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Friday 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, closed Saturday and Sunday.


Our Aurora clinics accept Aetna, ASH (American Specialty Health), Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (Pathway), Cigna, UnitedHealthcare (UHC), OptumCare, Optum Physical Health, Humana, Medicare, Colorado Medicaid (Pain Management and Physical Therapy only), Devoted Health, First Health, Columbine, Tricare, ATA Holista, Workers' Compensation, and Auto/Lien. We verify your benefits before your first visit. See full insurance details.
No. You can book directly. If your plan requires a referral for a specific procedure, we will tell you before your visit.
Not automatically. The first visit is about establishing what is causing the pain. Many patients never need an injection.
Yes. Our Aurora clinics treat auto injuries daily and document care to the standard your claim will require. See car accident Chiropractic care and whiplash treatment.
Yes, and many patients do. Both work in the same clinic and coordinate through one shared chart. See Physical Therapy in Aurora and Chiropractic care in Aurora.
Yes (Colorado Medicaid for Pain Management and Physical Therapy only), along with most major commercial plans, workers' compensation, and auto and lien cases. We verify your specific benefits before your visit.
Photo ID, your insurance card, any prior imaging (on disc or through a patient portal), and a list of your current medications. If you were injured in a crash or at work, bring your claim number.
Plan for a full evaluation rather than a quick check-in. Your physician will take a history, examine you, review imaging, and leave you with a plan before you go.
The approach is conservative and rehabilitative first. Medication management is available where it is clinically appropriate, and it is not the default.
Yes. The focus is non-surgical, opioid-sparing care, escalating only when it is needed.
Yes. If a surgeon has recommended an operation, our pain physicians will review your history and the imaging you already have, and go through the non-surgical options first — injections, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic care and spinal decompression among them. Bring any relevant imaging to the first visit. No referral is needed to be seen.
Reviewed by the clinical team at Mountain View Pain Center. Last reviewed August 2026.
Treatment follows the diagnosis. A diagnostic block numbs one structure at a time, and the response tells us which one is producing the pain before anything longer-lasting is done. In Colorado, procedures are performed at our Northglenn and InterQuest clinics and at our surgery center in Denver.
Alongside these, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic care and Acupuncture run in the same Aurora clinics, so a plan can move between them without a new referral or a repeated history.
Crash injuries follow a different path through the clinic. Care is generally billed to auto medical-payments coverage or on a lien where an attorney is involved, and the documentation is written as the treatment happens rather than assembled afterwards.
See car accident injury treatment in Aurora for how that works, or read about whiplash treatment and seeing a chiropractor after a car accident.
Each complaint is written up for the metro: Denver sciatica treatment, Denver herniated disc treatment, Denver low back pain treatment, Denver neck pain treatment, Denver knee pain treatment and Denver neuropathy treatment.
So is each procedure: Denver epidural steroid injections, Denver radiofrequency ablation, Denver spinal cord stimulators, Denver kyphoplasty and Denver nerve blocks.
For collisions, by city: Lakewood, Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch, Greeley, Lafayette and Fort Collins.
Towns we also serve: Broomfield, Thornton, Windsor, Louisville and Loveland.
