Pain Control in Tucson, AZ — Real Relief Without Drugs or Surgery

You've tried the heating pads. You've taken the over-the-counter pills. Maybe you've even seen a doctor who told you to "rest and wait." But the pain keeps coming back. If you're dealing with chronic back pain, a stiff neck that won't go away, shooting pain down your leg, or aches from sitting at a desk all day, you're in the right place. Dr. Clint Mausser specializes in finding the source of your pain and fixing it—not just covering it up with medication.

​

What Pain Problems Are You Dealing With?

 

Pain shows up in different ways, and sometimes it's hard to know what's causing it. Maybe you woke up one morning and couldn't turn your head. Maybe you've had a dull ache in your lower back for months that's gotten worse. Maybe you feel fine until you sit at your desk for an hour, then the tension starts building in your shoulders and neck.

 

Here in Tucson, we see a lot of pain related to our active lifestyle and desert climate. The dry air can lead to dehydration, which makes muscles tighter and joints stiffer. People who cycle on The Loop or hike in the Catalinas come in with overuse injuries. Office workers near Swan and Fort Lowell develop posture problems from sitting at computers. University of Arizona students get neck and back pain from hunching over laptops. And the aging population in areas like Winterhaven deals with mobility issues that limit their daily activities.

​

The warning signs that you need professional help include pain that lasts more than a few days, numbness or tingling in your arms or legs, pain that wakes you up at night, or stiffness that gets worse instead of better. DIY stretches and foam rolling have their place, but they can't fix a misaligned spine or a pinched nerve.

Our Pain Control Services

 

We treat the most common causes of pain that bring people to our office. Back pain treatment is one of our specialties—whether you're dealing with a sudden injury, years of wear and tear, or pain from lifting something wrong. Dr. Clint uses spinal adjustments to restore proper alignment and take pressure off the nerves and discs that are causing your pain. Most patients notice improvement after their first visit.

​

Neck pain treatment addresses everything from whiplash injuries to "tech neck" from looking down at phones and computers all day. Your neck supports your head and connects to your entire nervous system, so when it's out of alignment, you can feel it throughout your body. We use gentle techniques that work with your comfort level, not against it.

 

Sciatica treatment targets that burning, shooting pain that runs from your lower back down through your hip and leg. Sciatica happens when something presses on your sciatic nerve—usually a herniated disc or a tight muscle. Instead of masking the pain with medication, we find exactly where the pressure is coming from and relieve it through targeted adjustments.

Pain Relief for Tucson Residents

 

Dr. Clint serves patients from across the Tucson area, with two convenient locations. Our Central office near Fort Lowell and Swan is easy to reach from Winterhaven, Sam Hughes, the University of Arizona area, Old Fort Lowell, and Blenman-Elm. Our Civano office serves Rita Ranch, Vail, and Southeast Tucson. We also see patients from Flowing Wells, Catalina Foothills, and Rillito.

 

Living in the desert means dealing with unique challenges. The dry climate affects your joints and muscles differently than humid areas. The outdoor activities that make Tucson great—hiking, biking, golf—also put stress on your body. And the commute along busy streets like Swan and Fort Lowell can leave you sitting in awkward positions. Dr. Clint understands these local factors and how they contribute to your pain.

Why Choose Civano Chiropractic Clinics for Pain Relief

 

Dr. Clint graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic, the most respected chiropractic school in the country. He's certified in multiple adjustment techniques—Gonstead, Diversified, Thompson Drop, and Activator—so he can match the treatment to your body and comfort level. We accept Medicare and VA referrals, making care accessible to more Tucson residents. And unlike high-volume clinics, we take time to listen, explain what we're doing, and treat you like a person.
