The Sports Spine and Injury Center is an innovative facility offering therapies for acute and chronic pain as well as sports injuries, spine injuries and auto injuries. This multi-disciplinary scope of care includes chiropractic, spinal decompression, physical therapy, massage therapy and shockwave therapy as well as quick access to a multi-specialty team of physicians.

“Southern Utah needs this type of injury center,” said Dr. Bryt Christensen, a pain management specialist at Vista Healthcare. “We’re excited about the clinic because of its versatility.”

The Sports Spine and Injury Center is integrated with Vista Healthcare’s physician group, which means patients have convenient access to physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurology and interventional pain management. This collection of specialties allows the team to create a custom care journey for every patient while providing extensive diagnostic and treatment resources.

Additionally, Vista Healthcare maintains close working relationships with local orthopedic and spine surgeons if a surgical referral is needed.

The Sports Spine and Injury Center is also Southern Utah’s leading clinic for auto accident patients. Timely assessment and treatment are essential after a crash, and Vista Healthcare specializes in conservatively treating pain resulting from the most minor collision to the most severe.

Many physician groups are reluctant to see patients for pain caused by a car accident, Christensen said, but Vista Healthcare is well-versed in navigating the complexities of working with insurance companies and attorneys. They accept all types of insurance and also see patients who are using an auto insurance claim or attorney’s lien to cover their medical expenses.

“We saw there was a gap in auto injury care here,” he added. “We’re focused on helping patients get the care they need and getting it paid for.”

At Vista Healthcare, every patient is treated as an individual with a unique set of challenges and goals. The Sports Spine and Injury Center uses the latest, most advanced techniques to reduce pain and restore range of motion following an injury.

The clinic is a one-stop shop for Southern Utahns to stay active and healthy, Christensen said. While their methods are exceptional, it’s their unparalleled care and service that sets them apart from the rest.

Additionally, Vista Healthcare now offers MRI and X-ray services for all patients as well as members of the community looking for another imaging option. The imaging center offers a highly competitive pricing scale, Christensen said.
