Joint and muscle pain is a common condition that affects people of all ages.
Athletes are particularly prone to suffering sprains and strains that take them off the field or court. If you are living with acute or chronic pain, we are here to help.
Our Los Angeles sports medicine and pain management doctors offer conservative, non-surgical, minimally invasive treatments to reduce pain, discomfort, inflammation, and trigger faster healing.
Soft Tissue Injections
Tension in your muscle tissue can be caused by overuse, exertion, or injury. Mild to moderate pain in the neck, arms, back, and legs can be treated with trigger point injections. The injections work to loosen tension in the soft tissue and provide relief from pain and discomfort.

We offer a range of regenerative medical treatments, including joint injections to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. The treatments include stem cell therapy, PRP injections, homeopathic Traumeel and Zeel injections, and A2M, along with other advanced, non-surgical treatments.

You may recognize BOTOX because of its cosmetic applications, but it can also be used for pain management. BOTOX works by limiting muscle movements at the injection site and can be used to treat chronic pain in the neck or back. The results of treatment typically last up to six months.

A homeopathic, natural alternative for pain management, our Los Angeles physiatrist may treat your condition with Traumeel and Zeel injections to reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with an injury, arthritis, sprain, strain, or arthritis/osteoarthritis. These safe and effective injections can help you restore range of motion, comfort, and quality of life.

Rhizotomy is a nerve treatment to assist in relieving chronic back pain and muscle spasms. The treatment works by shutting off the nerves that are producing pain, and can bring great relief to those who suffer from chronic back pain.

Lower back pain can be caused by internally-disrupted disc disease. For PRP treatment in Beverly Hills, Dr. Nini offers state-of-the-art technology. PRP is a component of your own blood, which is concentrated and then injected into the affected area to stimulate the body’s natural regenerative processes and reduce pain.

PRP injections are effective in relieving joint pain. PRP provides a concentration of growth factors that promote healing and reduce inflammation. It is minimally-invasive and can be effective in any joint with chronic pain, including knees, elbows, shoulders, hips, and ankles.

Those with more advanced injuries or ailments may benefit from autologous stem cell therapy in Los Angeles. When PRP treatments aren’t strong enough, a concentration of your own stem cells can be harvested and injected into the affected area to promote healing and restore function with long-lasting results.

A2M therapy is a regenerative treatment that helps reverse cartilage breakdown and loss. Natural destructive proteins in the body can weaken tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. A2M injections work as a therapeutic agent to inhibit this breakdown, with the product derived from your own blood. This treatment can be a powerful, effective alternative to undergoing joint replacement surgery.

Back pain can be the result of a herniated disc, strain, sprain, injury, or a health condition. Spinal decompression relieves pressure, allowing the body’s natural healing to occur. Intradiscal nucleoplasty can target specific discs, while a motorized table can be used to stretch the spine and provide an overall feeling of relief. Often used in conjunction with other regenerative techniques, our goal is to reduce pain and increase the health of the system without surgery.

Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD®) is a relatively new procedure to treat lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and other painful spinal conditions. LSS is a condition where the spinal cord becomes narrowed, causing pain in the lumbar spine or lower back. Many other spinal conditions cause compressed discs and nerves that result in back pain and/or referred pain. The MILD procedure is minimally invasive and much safer than open surgery to correct LSS or other spinal conditions.

Many people suffer from ongoing knee pain from osteoarthritis. While some opt for knee replacement surgery or other invasive treatment, there are several non-surgical options that do not involve surgery. At Full Range Ortho, Dr. Nini is focused upon non-surgical, non-invasive treatments for joint pain, and may recommend “viscosupplementation” to aid a patient to achieve better knee mobility without pain.

In testing the body, electrodiagnosis can provide answers and narrow down the possibilities. In these tests, a very fine needle, which functions as an electrode, is inserted through the skin and into the muscle structure. The patient is then asked to flex the muscle by bending or contracting it. The electrical activity is displayed on a screen, which can be evaluated to determine how the muscles are responding to nerve impulses on arms or legs and how nerves are stimulated with electrical pulses.

Chronic neck or lower back pain can often be relieved with an innovative, non-surgical treatment: facet injections, or “facet joint injections.” This treatment can effectively relieve pain in patients who are living with spinal degeneration. Facet joints are the spinal joints that allow the body to flex, bend, and twist. When the facet joints are no longer functioning correctly, chronic pain can be the result. Facet injections work in two ways: as a diagnostic tool to correctly identify the source of the pain, and as an effective pain relief treatment.

Nerve root blocks are an advanced pain management treatment that involves the injection of a small quantity of a steroid, in combination with a medication to numb a specific nerve as it exits the spinal cord. These injections can be used on any area of the spine where chronic pain exists, from neck to lower back.

Some chronic pain conditions require ongoing pain management therapies for the patient to enjoy their best life. One highly successful method to control pain is peripheral nerve stimulation, or PNS. Often referred to as “a pacemaker for pain,” this procedure involves implanting an electrical device adjacent to a peripheral nerve in the area of chronic pain. The device sends electrical impulses to counteract pain impulses being sent through the targeted nerve.

PRP or “Platelet Rich Plasma” is a therapy to promote healing of injuries and regeneration of muscles, joints and ligaments. PRP is a source of concentrated growth factors and cellular signaling elements that are a core part of physical healing. PRP therapy in Los Angeles is part of a growing branch of medicine focused on leveraging the healing power of the human body to trigger repair, growth and protection of damaged areas. This branch of regenerative medicine is rapidly advancing and offers minimally-invasive solutions that may prove to be more effective than structural surgery and result in greater functionality, strength, and protection to the injured area.

Chronic back pain affects countless people in all walks of life. One condition is related to a failed back surgery that leaves the patient suffering ongoing pain. When chronic pain remains after undergoing a surgical procedure, spinal cord stimulation is a treatment that can provide real relief.

Dr. Nini provides a wide scope of non-surgical pain relief treatments, including sympathetic nerve blocks to treat chronic leg pain. If you suffer from this condition as a result of an injury, trauma, or other body condition affecting this part of the nervous system, a sympathetic block can provide a significant degree of pain relief. The earlier you get treatment after an injury, the more likely that the sympathetic block will have a long-term, beneficial result.

The epidural space is the area within the spinal column around the spinal cord and nerves. In this space, nerve roots exit the spinal column and connect to the peripheral nervous system. The epidural space is a sleeve-like substance that encompasses the spinal cord, including the dorsal sac, fat, blood vessels, spinal nerves and connective tissues. When inflammation occurs in the epidural space, it can irritate the nerve roots, resulting in chronic pain. We offer epidural steroid injections for chronic pain management at Full Range Spine & Ortho in Beverly Hills, CA.
