Reno’s Original Integrative Clinic for Pain & Mental Health

Since 2014, Thunder Pain & Wellness has been at the forefront of interventional care in Northern Nevada. We were the first chronic pain clinic in the Reno area to offer IV Ketamine Infusion Therapy, and we remain dedicated to providing the most advanced, drug-free treatments for our community

A Different Kind of Patient Experience

We know that when you are in pain or struggling with depression, the last thing you need is a "corporate" medical experience. We have intentionally kept our practice small and patient-focused to ensure:

• Direct Access: When you call our office, you speak to a real person in Reno — not a distant call center.
• One-on-One Attention: We do not double-book. You are our priority for the entire duration of your visit.
• Supportive Transitions: If you want to reduce reliance on opioids, we provide a compassionate, gradual tapering process to help you find sustainable relief.
• Total Comfort: We offer private treatment rooms and accessible parking to ensure your visit is stress-free.

Our Science: Healing the Nervous System

Chronic pain and depression often share a common root: a "misfiring" nervous system. When pain lasts for months, your brain can become hypersensitive, amplifying signals and creating a cycle of physical and emotional distress. Our clinic uses neuroplasticity to "reset" these overactive pathways.

Resetting Neural Pathways with Ketamine

Unlike traditional medications that only mask symptoms, IV Ketamine Infusion Therapy acts as a "reset button" for the central nervous system. By blocking specific receptors (NMDA) and increasing glutamate, ketamine encourages the brain to repair damaged synapses and forge new, healthy neural connections.

Stimulating Mood Centers with TMS

For those struggling with depression or treatment-resistant pain, TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) uses precise magnetic pulses to wake up dormant mood-regulating centers in the brain. This FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment "rewires" the brain’s electrical patterns, improving emotional resilience without the systemic side effects of oral medications.​​​​​​​

Our Mission: Restoring Your Quality of Life

Our goal isn't just to treat a diagnosis — it's to help you reclaim the life you love. By combining cutting-edge science with a "whole-person" perspective, we create a recovery protocol tailored specifically to your unique journey.
