Brice, Brian, Lamar, MD

The medical practitioners and staff at Desert Spine and Sports Physicians are dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of spine, sports, and musculoskeletal pain and injury. We use non-surgical treatments that are focused on the whole person and are specific for each patient so that if possible, recurrent or chronic pain can be avoided. Our goal is to relieve pain and maximize function in order to put people back into fully functional lives, often more functional than before. We are dedicated to helping patients stay as active as possible at any age with our comprehensive, compassionate, and innovative medical care.

Treating patients with back or neck pain or injury to the musculoskeletal system, Dr Vu’s goals are to help each patient return to and optimally perform their chosen activities while promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. When managing patients with spine, joint, or tendon pain, Dr Vu believes in a holistic approach. After a thorough evaluation, patients are given a personalized treatment plan which may include individualized physical therapy prescription, spine or soft tissue injections, and non-opiate medications. Dr. Vu aspires to help patients reduce their pain and improve their function.

“My goal is to help my patients stay as active as possible at any age! As an osteopathic physiatrist, I believe that structure and function are interrelated. Our bodies are constantly working to maintain balance, however at times they may need assistance due to an acute or chronic injury that never adequately healed. I use my musculoskeletal knowledge and osteopathic skills to diagnose and provide effective individualized treatment programs that include appropriate medications, manual manipulation, physical therapy, and/or interventional procedures in order to restore and improve my patient’s function and maximize their quality of life.”
