Biography

Originally from Michigan, Dr. Nirguna Thalla felt it was important to return to the Midwest, a region that shares many of the values he grew up with. Dr. Thalla believes in developing longitudinal, individualized relationships with each of his patients to successfully manage their pain conditions. Recognizing that pain can manifest in physical, psychological, emotional, or combined ways, he understands it is a unique experience for each individual.

To address these challenges, Dr. Thalla employs a comprehensive, often multimodal and multidisciplinary approach. He takes pride in finding solutions that focus on improving function, quality of life, and the overall well-being of his patients. Witnessing the significant improvements in his patients keeps him motivated and constantly in the pursuit of learning and adapting new pain solutions and treatment strategies in this dynamic field.

Dr. Thalla's first exposure to the medical field was through the lens of a pain management physician. He saw firsthand how an effective pain management physician can be a true support pillar for a community. As his medical career has unfolded, this formative experience has always stayed with him. The field of pain management personifies what is most important to Dr. Thalla: the creation of a strong patient-physician relationship to tackle and manage challenging problems.

My patients often experience debilitating physical and emotional experiences due to pain. It is our responsibility to provide individualized, inquisitive and comprehensive solutions to improve the wellbeing of those suffering."
