Pain Management
Our interventional pain management services utilize advanced techniques like epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and radiofrequency ablation to target chronic pain at its source. Dr. Martinez creates customized treatment plans that reduce medication dependence while improving mobility and quality of life for conditions including back pain, neuropathy, and post-surgical discomfort.
Ketamine Infusions
Ketamine infusion therapy offers rapid relief for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and chronic pain conditions by resetting neural pathways. Administered by board-certified anesthesiologists in a controlled environment, these infusions provide measurable improvements in mood and pain levels with ongoing support for sustained benefits.
Osteopathic Manipulation
This hands-on treatment addresses musculoskeletal pain through precise joint and soft tissue manipulation. Our osteopathic physicians specialize in correcting postural imbalances and alleviating conditions like TMJ disorders and repetitive strain injuries while promoting natural healing processes.
Lifestyle Management
We develop personalized lifestyle plans integrating nutrition, stress reduction, and physical activity to complement medical treatments. Our holistic approach addresses sleep quality, inflammation reduction, and overall wellness to enhance long-term pain management outcomes through sustainable lifestyle changes.
Epidural Steroid Injections
Targeted epidural injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to irritated spinal nerves causing sciatica, herniated disc pain, or spinal stenosis symptoms. This minimally invasive procedure provides focused relief while allowing rapid return to daily activities under our team's expert care.

Dr Mike, Hailey and the entire staff are there to help you through some very difficult times. Pain SUCKS but he and staff kept me 100% informed, he saw me on a moments notice. It took 4 months, but I am off the pain meds, the injections worked for me both my sciatic and my neuropathy from scar tissue due to a back operation. 2021 was an awful year (broken back, cancer, covid, liver kidney's... and then the pain once I got off the fentanyl. I am living my life now. What was most inspiring was how Dr Mike and staff worked with the insurance companies and at times we worked around their bureaucracy

I am so pleased with the staff and service received. Armanda is my absolute favorite. She was very attentive to my needs and made sure every step of the way I felt supported and safe. She held my hand through the procedure and even came back to check on me after the procedure while waiting in recovery. Way out West will always be the best place to go for your back, hip, spine recovery needs. They are amazing and Im so glad I was able to get the support and recovery I need. Im starting to get back to my normal movements thanks to them. Dr. Martinez was amazing and non-judge mental. He was

Dr Martinez is an excellent physician that takes time to truly understand where your pain is coming from and really cares for you as more them just a pain patient. He takes the time to fully explain the treatments and the options available to try and help through your time of discomfort. He also feels like a lifelong partner in your treatment!

Honestly didn't know what to expect going in. I was amazed at the decor! It really doesn't look like your typical doctor's office. It made me feel right at home and the staff really is amazing. So glad I came here and looking forward to my procedure.
