Quick Answer
Rhodes Ranch residents attend the Clinical Neurology Specialists office at 7751 W. Flamingo Road, Suite A-100, Las Vegas NV 89147. Where arm pain, numbness or grip weakness follows repetitive rotational loading, the question is which nerve or root, and an electrodiagnostic study answers it.
Part ofEverything common to both offices, including the full service list and scope boundaries, sits on the locations page rather than being repeated on each area guide.
Both office locations →Key Takeaways
- The nearest office is 7751 W. Flamingo Road, Suite A-100, Las Vegas NV 89147.
- Repetitive rotational loading produces nerve and nerve-root problems that are frequently attributed to a joint instead.
- Numbness, tingling or grip weakness alongside pain points toward a nerve rather than a tendon, and that distinction changes the treatment entirely.
- An electrodiagnostic study localises the problem to a specific nerve or root and grades how severe it is.
- The study is performed and interpreted inside the practice in AANEM-accredited laboratories.
When arm pain is a nerve rather than a joint
Repetitive rotational sport produces both tendon problems and nerve problems, and they are treated in almost opposite ways. Distinguishing them is the useful part of an assessment.
The signal that it is neurological
Pain alone is ambiguous. Pain accompanied by numbness, tingling or measurable weakness is not, and it points toward a nerve or a nerve root rather than a tendon or joint capsule. Grip strength that has genuinely declined, difficulty with fine tasks such as buttons or keys, or numbness following a defined strip of the hand rather than the whole hand all suggest a specific nerve. Where symptoms extend from the neck into the arm and worsen with certain neck positions, a cervical root is the more likely source, described on the radiculopathy page.
What the study contributes
It localises the problem and grades it. Ulnar nerve compression at the elbow, median nerve compression at the wrist and a cervical radiculopathy can all produce arm symptoms and need different management, and they are not reliably separated by examination alone. Grading matters as much as localisation: mild compression with preserved nerve function often responds to activity modification and splinting, while significant slowing with fibre loss shifts the conversation sooner. The study is on the EMG and nerve conduction page, and the accreditation behind it on the accreditation page.
What activity modification realistically achieves
For mild nerve compression, genuinely a lot, and it is worth attempting properly before anything else. For established compression with measurable nerve fibre loss, less, because the nerve has already changed. That is the practical reason for having a graded study rather than a description: it tells you which situation you are in, and therefore whether continuing to play while waiting is reasonable or is costing you something.

The Bottom Line
7751 W. Flamingo Road. If arm pain comes with numbness, tingling or weakness, ask for the study to be graded rather than only named, because severity determines whether waiting is reasonable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which office should Rhodes Ranch residents use?
The Las Vegas office at 7751 W. Flamingo Road, Suite A-100. Both offices provide everything and hold electrodiagnostic accreditation independently.
How do I know whether my arm pain is a nerve problem?
Pain alone is ambiguous. Pain with numbness, tingling or measurable weakness points toward a nerve or nerve root rather than a tendon. Numbness following a defined strip of the hand, declining grip strength, or symptoms worsening with certain neck positions are all suggestive.
What does an electrodiagnostic study add?
It localises the problem to a specific nerve or root and grades how severe it is. Ulnar compression at the elbow, median compression at the wrist and a cervical radiculopathy all produce arm symptoms, need different management, and are not reliably separated by examination alone.
Can I keep playing while I wait?
That depends on severity, which is exactly what a graded study establishes. Mild compression with preserved nerve function often responds well to activity modification; established compression with fibre loss is a different situation, and knowing which applies is the point.
How this page was sourced
The office address, suite number and ZIP code come from the practice own published listing. That both laboratories hold AANEM electrodiagnostic accreditation independently, and the absence of imaging, infusion, surgical, paediatric and emergency services, are documented rather than inferred.
Repetitive rotational sport producing nerve and root problems misattributed to joints, with grading rather than naming as the determinant of whether continued play is reasonable. OPENING HOURS ARE NOT PUBLISHED, because the practice has not confirmed a current set. No drive time, distance or mileage is quoted anywhere. Local geography should be confirmed before publish, per SOP 2.14. Everything shared across area guides is linked to the locations page rather than restated. Adults 18 and older.
