Sprains, strains and tendinitis treatment in Las Vegas.

Usually not, and it’s rarely the first step. Most sprain, strain & tendinitis improves without imaging, and studies consistently find disc bulges and “wear and tear” on MRIs of people who have zero pain at all, so a scan doesn’t always point to the real cause. We start with a hands-on evaluation to find what’s actually driving your symptoms, and if imaging ever becomes genuinely necessary, we’ll help you get it. You don’t have to wait on a scan to start feeling better.

Yes, in most cases guided movement helps more than continued rest does, past the first few days. Tissue heals stronger with the right progressive load than with none at all. The key is dosing the right movement for your specific injury, which is exactly what your physical therapist sorts out at your evaluation, then progresses safely as you improve.

Most patients feel meaningful change within 4–6 visits. A full plan for sprain, strain & tendinitis runs through all four phases, Pain, Prime, Perform, and Prevent, typically over 8–10 weeks, depending on how long you’ve been dealing with it. Either way, you get a plan with an endpoint: you’ll always know which phase you’re in and what’s left, not an open-ended string of appointments.
