Pain Care That Helps You Move Forward With Life

At the Villanueva Institute of Pain and Spine, I begin by understanding what your pain is preventing you from doing. As a double board-certified physician in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Pain Medicine, I take a thorough, multidisciplinary approach to care. I’ll thoughtfully review your symptoms, medical history, imaging, and functional goals before recommending the best possible treatment for your situation.

Beyond my double-board certifications, I am also a Certified Life Care Planner. This specialized training allows me to evaluate the long-term medical, rehabilitation, and future care needs of individuals with complex injuries and disabilities, further supporting my role as a medical-legal consultant and expert medical witness.

Whether you want to get back to work, exercise again, spend more time with family, or simply move through the day with greater comfort, I build your treatment plan around the life you want to reclaim. At my Burbank practice, you can expect attentive, unhurried care, clear explanations, and advanced interventional options when appropriate, with a focus on improving function and quality of life.

What Our Patients Have to Say

A wonderful, warm, and professional staff paired with a truly caring doctor. I’m incredibly grateful to have found Dr. Villanueva. What I’m experiencing has been one of the most challenging medical experiences of my life, and it is such a gift to know I am in safe, capable, and compassionate hands.

Tasha

This doctor is amazing, as he has just the proper mix of empathy and expertise. He approaches his pain management business with precision and thoroughness and proceeds to provide you a treatment plan that is comprehensive and addresses the real issues. My first visit with him was amazing, because it didn’t take long for him to put the pieces of my puzzle together to get to the crux of my problem. I had been to many pain management doctors, but none demonstrated such dispatch, wisdom, and above all integrity! I thank him so much for giving me my flexibility back, my smile back, and my dignity (now I’m back to work). Oh, and he has great bedside manner; he knows how to reach people with respect and even humility. He comes highly recommended!! 5 stars for him!!!!!

Jini

I was having a heck of a time getting a diagnosis for a nerve pain issue I was having. I made an appointment with Dr. Villanueva and he listened, took time to go over my details closely, and ordered testing that finally pinpointed the issue. He is a great doctor, and the staff is very professional and caring. Glad I found this place!

Kimberly

What an amazing practice! I was initially hesitant because I established such a good rapport with my old doctor before I moved, but Jessica is even better! She really took her time and sat with me and listened to my whole history and what life has been like after the accident. She’s very proactive and comprehensive and made a few recommendations that I immediately scheduled. She’s a very knowledgeable and empathetic provider and noticed something no other medical professional did before. I’m very impressed and feel I’m in very good hands.

Best doctor’s office I have ever been to! Dr. Villanueva is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and caring physicians. He also has the most amazing staff. Javier goes above and beyond and Rose is always so kind and patient. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. V and his staff. I’d give 10 stats if I could.

Marty

Dr. Villanueva and his staff are a friendly, knowledgeable, and exceptional solution for people who need great medical care and help in maintaining their ability to work and continue to live their lives productively and with more ease of mobility! Thank God that we have access to an office that actually cares about their patients and restores our level of comfort and positive outlook for our futures! Thank you all for your outstanding humanitarian services to all of us who would otherwise be hopeless!

Herman

I can’t rave enough about Dr. Villanueva. He is compassionate, knowledgeable, and is always available for questions. I went to see him for two epidurals for a pinched nerve. His staff communicated with me the day before and the day after the procedure. There is something special about the staff in the office really working together. I was able to choose to see Dr. Villanueva on video or an office visit, which is so important during this time. I researched several doctors before choosing Dr. V. Most of the complaints from other offices were about staff not getting back to patients, which is not the case in Dr. V’s office. The best part is that Dr. Villanueva is a great listener and is very kind. I feel very taken care of by him and his staff.

Andrew

I’m not the kind of person who has ever left reviews, but this was a no-brainer! Having never been to a pain specialist before, I hit the lottery on my first try. Before my lower lumbar spinal fusion, my neurosurgeon sent me to Dr Villanueva, and for that I will always be grateful. If you have struggled with back issues like myself, contact Dr. V. His work is impeccable, his knowledge is incomparable, and his staff , Rose and Javier, are delightful. Dr V listened to my concerns and issues and addressed them in a manner I could understand. He has made such a huge difference in my pain and lower back issues that has amazed me. Couldn’t recommend him more highly. So yes, I did hit the lottery and never had to go to Vegas to do it!
