Chronic pain is more than a physical sensation; it disrupts sleep, limits movement, affects work, and strains daily life. If you have tried temporary fixes that did not address the underlying source, you are not alone, and there may be a more targeted path forward.
At Dynasty Health, pain management in Tempe is built on a diagnosis-first foundation. Before any treatment is recommended, our team works to identify the root cause of your pain whether it originates in a joint, nerve, disc, muscle, or is referred from another area. The goal is to build an individualized plan that aims to restore function and improve quality of life, not just mask symptoms. Results vary, and no outcome is guaranteed.
This page is reviewed by Dr. Mostafa Maita, Double Board Certified in Interventional Pain and Anesthesiology and Co-Founder of Dynasty Health. Our approach is multidisciplinary, drawing on interventional procedures, regenerative medicine, careful medication management, and physical therapy coordination all under one care team.
Many patients arrive having seen multiple providers or tried a series of treatments that offered only temporary relief. A diagnosis-first approach changes that pattern. It means your physician takes time to evaluate the full picture: your medical history, prior imaging studies, physical examination findings, previous treatments, and how pain affects your daily function.
This evaluation is designed to identify the driver of your pain. Is it coming from a compressed nerve root? An arthritic joint? A degenerated disc? A muscle imbalance that creates referred pain? Once the mechanism is clearer, care can be targeted rather than generic.
Dynasty Health functions as a multidisciplinary hub. Your plan may include interventional procedures, regenerative options, medication review, and coordination with a licensed physical therapist all integrated rather than siloed.

Pain takes many forms, and each requires its own evaluation pathway. The following are common conditions addressed in our Tempe practice.
Pain that lasts months or years whether from injury, degenerative change, or an unclear origin often requires a coordinated, multi-pronged strategy rather than a single intervention. This may involve a combination of interventional procedures, physical therapy, medication review, and lifestyle adjustments, all tailored to your response.
Hip, knee, shoulder, and other joint pain can arise from arthritis, overuse, sprains, bursitis, or referred pain from the spine. After a thorough evaluation, your care plan may include image-guided injections to reduce inflammation and improve mobility, or regenerative orthobiologics for joint pain that may support tissue healing.
Nerve pain often presents as burning, electric, tingling, or numb sensations. It may originate from spinal nerve compression, peripheral neuropathy related to diabetes, trauma, or inflammatory conditions. Evaluation focuses on the location, triggers, and pattern of symptoms to guide appropriate care, which may include medication review, nerve blocks, restorative therapy, or specialist coordination.
Cervicogenic headaches originate from structures in the cervical spine joints, muscles, or nerves in the neck. These headaches are often triggered by posture, movement, or prolonged positioning. A plan may include cervical evaluation, physical therapy, interventional procedures, and lifestyle guidance to reduce the frequency and intensity of symptoms.
Neck pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek care, and it can stem from whiplash, disc irritation, facet joint inflammation, nerve compression, muscle tension, or degenerative changes in the cervical spine. Our evaluation begins with a detailed assessment of cervical movement, nerve symptoms, and imaging findings to determine which structures are involved.
Depending on the diagnosis, care may include non-surgical treatment, physical therapy coordination, targeted injections, or regenerative care. If a disc is suspected as the primary source of pain, we may evaluate for advanced options such as the Discseel Procedure for damaged spinal discs. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach; each plan is based on the specific findings of your evaluation.
Important safety note: If you experience arm weakness, numbness, or progressive neurological symptoms, prompt medical evaluation is essential.
Back pain and sciatica can dramatically affect sitting, standing, walking, and sleep. Common drivers include herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, facet joint irritation, and inflamed nerve roots. Sciatica specifically refers to pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, often into the buttock and leg.
Our coordinated approach starts with conservative care and progresses based on your response. Image-guided injections may provide targeted relief, and when disc-related conditions are identified, advanced options such as Discseel and back and spine care may be appropriate. The goal is to improve function and help patients avoid unnecessary surgery when clinically appropriate not to promise a cure, which does not exist for all spine conditions. Results vary, and treatment is based on individual diagnosis.
Care is organized along a spectrum, from least invasive to more advanced, with each step guided by your diagnosis and response.
Epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, nerve blocks, and radiofrequency ablation are performed with real-time imaging ultrasound or fluoroscopy to ensure precise delivery. This reduces the likelihood of off-target placement and improves the potential for symptom relief. Evidence from sources such as the CDC and NIH (NINDS) supports the role of image-guided interventions for appropriate patients. As with any procedure, risks include infection, bleeding, nerve injury, and variable response, and suitability is determined individually.
Medications can play a role in managing pain, but they are not the centerpiece of care. Our approach favors non-opioid and non-medication strategies when clinically appropriate, consistent with the CDC Clinical Practice Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Pain. When medication is prescribed, it is done so with attention to side effects, dependency risks, and interactions, and is integrated into a broader plan.
For select joint, tendon, ligament, and soft-tissue concerns, regenerative orthobiologics (PRP, BMAC, MFAT) may support healing when medically appropriate. These approaches are discussed on a case-by-case basis, and outcomes vary based on your condition and goals.
Pain affects more than the injury site; it impacts sleep, movement, mood, and daily activities. Our care includes physical therapy coordination, movement planning, sleep and lifestyle support, and, when helpful, counseling or CBT to address the broader toll of chronic pain. For persistent nerve pain that has not responded to other measures, advanced options such as spinal cord stimulation may be discussed or referred.
Dynasty Health brings together a team with distinct clinical strengths.
Dr. Mostafa Maita is Double Board Certified in Interventional Pain and Anesthesiology, Co-Founder and Chief of Regenerative Medicine and Enhanced Performance, and a Discseel Procedure Master Instructor. His focus is on root-cause diagnosis and evidence-based intervention.
Dr. Hamza Shqeirat is a licensed Physical Therapist in Arizona with experience across acute, post-acute, and outpatient care, including personal injury, concussion rehabilitation, vestibular therapy, and functional restoration. His presence on the team allows for integrated physical therapy that is not an afterthought but part of the initial plan.
This physician-plus-physical-therapist pairing provides a whole-person perspective that is unusual in pain management. Results are individualized and never guaranteed; every plan follows a full medical evaluation.
Several features distinguish our approach from typical pain clinics or walk-in injection centers.
First, evaluation comes before treatment. No one receives a procedure without a thorough review of symptoms, imaging, medical history, and prior responses.
Second, image guidance is standard. Precision matters, and it reduces unnecessary risk.
Third, we offer a full continuum under one team from conservative physical therapy coordination to advanced regenerative and interventional options. Patients are not bounced between separate clinics with different philosophies.
Finally, we practice honest expectation-setting. Not every treatment works for every patient, and we explain what is realistic based on your diagnosis, not what a marketing brochure might promise.
Your initial consultation is designed to be thorough, not rushed. It begins with a focused history, including how your pain started, what makes it better or worse, and what you have already tried. Your physician reviews any prior imaging and performs a physical evaluation to assess movement, strength, and areas of tenderness.
The discussion includes a clear explanation of possible next steps in plain language. This visit is for evaluation and options not pressure. You will leave with a better understanding of what is driving your pain and what approaches may be appropriate.
Coverage varies by insurance plan and by procedure. Some evaluation and interventional care may be covered, while certain regenerative options are typically out-of-pocket. Coverage is not guaranteed. Our team can help clarify insurance questions and discuss payment options during scheduling, so you understand the financial picture before proceeding.

If you are seeking pain management in Tempe and want a thoughtful evaluation before any treatment is recommended, we invite you to schedule a consultation. This visit focuses on identifying the source of your pain and laying out realistic options based on your diagnosis and goals, not on selling a procedure.
Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice. Pain management outcomes vary by individual, and no result is guaranteed. A medical evaluation is required to determine appropriateness of any treatment. Some interventions carry risks including infection, bleeding, nerve irritation, and variable response.
We start with a comprehensive evaluation that includes your medical history, physical examination, and review of prior imaging. We also discuss what you have tried previously and how pain affects your daily activities. This helps identify whether the pain originates from a joint, nerve, disc, muscle, or another structure, so treatment can be targeted rather than generic.
No automatic approach exists. Our practice favors non-opioid and non-medication strategies when clinically appropriate, consistent with CDC guidance on pain management. If medication is part of your plan, it is used carefully, with attention to risks, side effects, and dependency. Medication is one tool in a broader strategy, not the whole strategy.
Injection procedures are designed to provide meaningful relief and improve function, but they are not typically a permanent cure. The duration of relief varies widely depending on the condition, the individual, and the specific injection. Injections are often part of a larger plan that may include physical therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and other supportive care.
For appropriate patients, pain management may help delay or avoid surgery, but this is not guaranteed. The decision depends on your specific diagnosis, severity, and overall health. Your physician will discuss realistic expectations and whether a non-surgical path is clinically reasonable for your condition.
Yes. We evaluate pain from accidents, workplace injuries, and other trauma based on the underlying structural or nerve-related findings. Care may include interventional procedures, physical therapy coordination, and referrals to specialists as needed. All treatment is guided by a medical evaluation.
We are not a high-volume injection center. Our care is diagnosis-first and physician-led, with a team that includes a Double Board Certified pain specialist and a licensed physical therapist. Treatment is image-guided, and care is integrated with regenerative and spine programs, so you receive coordinated, thoughtful management rather than a single procedure in isolation.
