Winter’s chill can be especially challenging for athletes and active individuals battling orthopedic pain or lingering sports injuries. At the California Sports and Spine Institute (CSSI), Dr. Maxim Moradian and his dedicated team specialize in non-surgical, functional, and regenerative treatments tailored to help you recover, perform, and thrive—even when the temperatures drop.



Taking the First Step: Diagnostic Testing

Chronic pain or injury doesn’t just affect your game—it affects your life. That’s why we focus on a two-stage approach to recovery, starting with comprehensive diagnostic testing. This crucial first step helps us determine the most effective treatments, including innovative therapies like Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS).

Athletes are as unique as their sports. A tailored evaluation ensures the treatment plan addresses the source of your pain, whether it’s a rotator cuff injury, spinal discomfort, or chronic joint issues from years of competition.

Our diagnostic process includes:

• Detailed consultations with pain management specialists who understand the demands of athletic performance.
• Advanced imaging studies to identify the precise source of pain.
• Nerve conduction studies to evaluate nerve health and function, critical for athletes with nerve-related injuries.

Stage 2: Spinal Cord Stimulation Therapy

For athletes who qualify, Spinal Cord Stimulation Therapy (SCS) offers an advanced, minimally invasive option to manage pain. This therapy can provide significant relief by interrupting pain signals to the brain, empowering you to stay active without the limitations of chronic pain.

Advantages for Athletes and Active Individuals

• Non-Invasive Recovery: Avoid extended downtime with a minimally invasive procedure.
• Performance-Driven Relief: Effective pain management allows you to focus on rehabilitation, training, and returning to your sport.
• Personalized Approach: The device’s settings can be tailored to your specific pain levels and activities, ensuring it works as hard as you do.
• Proven Results: Spinal Cord Stimulation is a trusted option for chronic pain, helping athletes regain their edge.
