How to choose, for Fallon patients
Joint Injections vs. Oral Pain Medication for Fallon, Nevada patients, targeted relief that skips the side-effects of pills. For Fallon, NV patients trying to decide between options, the honest answer is usually "it depends", and our job in this guide is to help you understand what it depends on so you can pick the right starting point.
At Ascension Health we have both approaches under one roof, which gives us a genuine advantage when explaining the tradeoffs. We've watched the same patient profiles do better with one path or the other, and we've seen what happens when the wrong path gets chosen first. The cost isn't usually the treatment itself, it's the months lost going down the path that wasn't going to work.
Most Fallon patients benefit from a brief evaluation before committing to a plan. A 15-minute conversation with our clinical team often saves weeks of trial-and-error and several hundred dollars of misdirected co-pays. We won't push you toward whichever option we make the most money on, we tell you what we'd recommend if you were a family member.
Below you'll find the structured comparison plus our recommendations for who tends to do best with each path. If you'd rather just talk it through, call (775) 575-9922, we genuinely don't mind the question.

Quick and easy - fast and friendly services provided by V - Daisy - Adrianne and Dr James Haakenson Help with Pain for Joint - Neck - Back - Bulging Disc - Knee - Hip - Foot - Neuropathy - Low Libido - Low Energy - Trouble sleeping - Hormonal imbalance and Dry needling”
“Dr Hanford is amazing! I had so many issues everywhere and he did an excellent job adjusting me and working on my muscles too!! He takes the time to listen to you! My old chiropractor was is town and he said my posture is so much better since a few years ago! He truly cares for his patients and has a great personality too! Always willing to help and get u in immediately as soon as possible if you have an emergency!”
“Dr. Kyle is very knowledgeable and compassionate. Whenever I vacation in the area I stop in a time or two for much needed adjustments. He listens, addresses your concerns and really makes a difference. His staff is amazing, helpful, friendly and very well organized. This is not your ordinary chiropractic, yes they do some ordinary, if it’s all you need. But if you have more severe issues the dr. Has degrees for more intense care and does an amazing job fixing your problems. And has the knowledge to know when you need something more.”
“Daisy is outstanding! She brings life to the office! Michelle is awesome! I highly recommend her! Dr. Haakenson is amazing with what he does! I haven’t met a more personable and outgoing chiropractor than himself.”
“Absolutely one of the best experiences I have had with a chiropractic office. I have had chronic pain most of my adult life and have been treated on and off pretty regularly. Dr. Hanford took the time to get to know me, worked to find the root of my issues and didn't just treat the symptoms. Relief was immediate but the lasting results were that he was helpful in educating me on my posture, daily life and exercise routine. I am glad to know and to trust him.”
“Go back today for another visit after my first initial. And I have to say it only took a day or 2 after for everything in my back to calm down!”
“Amazed at the positive results!! Great staff! Highly recommend”
