Musculoskeletal and back pain are common problems seen by many types of physicians and can be treated many different ways. But these conditions are also subtle and complex, requiring not just diagnosis and treatment but the right diagnosis and treatment. So you need a physician with in-depth fellowship training and board-certified specialty know-how in these specific conditions. Remember: Specialized care is as important for your spine and musculoskeletal pain as it is for a heart or lung problem.
Relief and recovery start with knowing what is wrong. Board-certified in electrodiagnostic medicine, certified in McKenzie Method mechanical diagnosis, experienced in functional impairment and a skilled diagnostician, Dr. Nieves pinpoints the source of your problem. Then, he strives to prevent both surgery and long-term pain with proven, effective and nonsurgical minimally invasive pain relief therapies. Dr. Nieves is also uniquely trained, credentialed and experienced to determine which treatment will produce the best outcomes… and when surgery is and is not the best choice. When surgery is indicated, Dr. Nieves will refer you to a qualified specialist.
At Colorado Spine, Pain & Sports Medicine, our minimally invasive procedures are, by their very nature, conservative.
But we’re also conservative in that we take a careful, individualized approach to keeping you informed, functional and active. Compassionate and down-to-earth, Dr. Nieves takes as much time as is necessary and gives you the focus you deserve. He provides personalized care and treatments based on your one-of-a-kind problem, needs and goals. And his flexibility and multidisciplinary approach means he offers options you won’t find elsewhere.
