What is the Spine and Joint Center?
For back, neck, and joint pain, our Spine and Joint Center in Castle Rock delivers regenerative injections, such as PRP and stem cell therapy, using C-arm fluoroscopic guidance, live imaging that lets the provider see where the needle is going. Nathan Lehman, PA-C, leads this side of the practice. He spent 8 years at The Steadman Clinic in orthopedic surgery and interventional spine, and has performed thousands of joint injections.
Back and joint pain are common. In 2019, 39% of U.S. adults had back pain in the past three months, and 36.5% had hip, knee or foot pain, according to the CDC. The first step here is finding out what is causing yours.
Before you decide
Image guidance improves placement accuracy. It does not guarantee an outcome. Your provider will be direct with you about what an injection can and cannot address in your case.

Common questions
If we have missed something, ask. Nobody here is paid on how much you book.
Still have a question? The free 30-minute consultation is for exactly that, cost and scheduling questions included.
What is a fluoroscopy (C-arm) guided injection, and why does image guidance matter?
A C-arm guided injection uses live X-ray imaging, called fluoroscopy, so the provider can see where the needle is going and confirm placement in real time. At our Spine and Joint Center, back, neck and joint injections are placed this way in our own procedure suite. Image guidance improves placement accuracy. It does not guarantee an outcome, and your provider will say what an injection can and cannot address.
How much does a spine or joint injection cost in Castle Rock?
A spine or joint injection at our Castle Rock clinic is quoted as one written price after your evaluation, before anything is booked, because the plan your provider recommends sets the cost. You can ask for a written Good Faith Estimate at any time. We do not bill insurance, FSA and HSA cards work on qualifying services, and Cherry financing is available on larger packages. Cost questions are welcome at the free 30-minute consult, in person or by phone. How our pricing works
What is injected at the Spine and Joint Center?
The Spine and Joint Center offers regenerative injections, and what is injected depends on your evaluation. The regenerative options are PRP, made from your own blood, and cellular products. Neither is FDA approved to treat any condition. Your provider will tell you which, if either, is reasonable for you. Read about PRP therapy
Are spine and joint injections painful?
Most patients tolerate spine and joint injections well. Your provider explains what to expect beforehand and what is used for your comfort. The injection is placed under live imaging in our procedure suite, and our clinical staff monitor you through it. If you are anxious about the procedure, say so at your consult so it can be planned around you.
Can joint or spine injections go wrong? What are the risks?
Yes, any injection carries some risk, which is why every injection here follows the same process. Your provider works out the cause from your history, symptoms and scans first, places the needle under live X-ray so placement can be confirmed in real time, and our clinical staff monitor you throughout. Your provider goes over the risks that apply to your case before you decide.
Can knee or spine injections help me avoid surgery?
We cannot promise that a Spine and Joint Center injection will help you avoid surgery. Many people come to us while weighing their options before considering surgery, and your provider will be direct about what an injection can and cannot address in your case. If an injection is not the right path for you, you will hear that, and what we would do instead.
Who performs the injections at the Spine and Joint Center?
Nathan Lehman, PA-C leads the center, and your provider places every injection under live imaging in our own procedure suite. Nathan spent 8 years at The Steadman Clinic in orthopedic surgery and interventional spine and has performed thousands of joint injections. The practice is led by Dr. Scott Faulkner, MD, our Medical Director, board certified in Internal Medicine. You can ask about either provider at the free 30-minute consultation. Book a free consult
What happens at a Spine and Joint Center visit?
A Spine and Joint Center visit follows four steps: evaluation, plan, treatment and follow-up. First your provider works out the cause from your history, symptoms and scans. Then you hear which options are worth your money. If an injection is part of your plan, it is placed under live C-arm imaging in our procedure suite. Afterward we check how it went and adjust from there.
Does insurance cover the Spine and Joint Center?
No. We do not bill insurance for the Spine and Joint Center or anything else, and there are no copays. FSA and HSA cards are accepted on qualifying services; the pricing page has the details.
Where is the Spine and Joint Center offered?
At our Clinical Headquarters, 4348 Woodlands Blvd, Suite 135, Castle Rock, CO 80104. That is where consultations and provider visits happen. Our recovery services are a short drive away at The Longevity Lab on Maleta Lane. Parker, Castle Pines, Lone Tree and Highlands Ranch are all within about half an hour by car.
How do I get started with the Spine and Joint Center?
Book the free 30-minute consultation. One of our providers answers your questions about scheduling and cost, and we book your evaluation with Dr. Faulkner or Nathan from there. The treatment decision is made at that visit, and if the Spine and Joint Center does not fit, your provider says so and tells you what they would do instead.
Do I need a referral or a diagnosis first?
No referral or diagnosis is needed. This service starts with a provider evaluation, booked through the free 30-minute consult.
