MANAGING PAIN WITH FULL SPECTRUM SOLUTIONS
INDIVIDUAL AND PERSONALIZED TREATMENTS FOCUS ON PATIENTS’ QUALITY OF LIFE
Those who have avoided seeking medical treatment for their chronic pain might be surprised to learn that NEXus Pain Center has specialized solutions that don’t often start with a new prescription for medication.
“That’s quite the opposite of what we do as a group. We want pain medication to be about the last strategy that we have to enact,” said Tyler Snow, COO of NEXus. “That’s why we offer such a wide variety of services.”
While the facility does treat some patients with effective pain medications, that solution is just one of many tools NEXus uses to help people treat and manage their chronic pain. When stronger medication is warranted, NEXus providers adhere to safety and compliance standards and provide further testing when needed to help ensure patient well-being.
far beyond just controlled substances and opioids.”
For chronic neck and back pain, sciatica, neuropathy, arthritis, joint issues, and nearly any other kind of bodily pain, NEXus’ five clinics and two surgery centers are conveniently located in Columbus and neighboring communities. To help treat a multitude of pain generators, NEXus providers are skillfully trained in numerous procedures that include spinal cord stimulation, nerve ablations, and stenosis treatment, to name a few.
Help Patients LIVE MORE Fulfilling Lives
“So many people assume that we should be the last step in their healthcare process,” said Dr. Takia Oglesby, a longtime physician in the community who has worked with NEXus for greater than a decade. “We work hard to provide a multi-modal approach. That care model goes
“We are an intervention-based practice, so we do everything we can to treat the pain at its root cause and offer a wide variety of procedures that are non-invasive,” said Dr. Jeffrey Prinsell, a Columbus Top Doctor as voted on by the community. “We want to be that one-stop shop for our patients. If there’s pain, we typically have some type of solution for it.”
The providers’ approach is characterized by a highly individualized series of different treatments that begins with the least invasive methods and gradually working towards the most effective solution. They see each patient as an individual and never employ a one-size-
fits-all strategy. And the facility’s services are as convenient as they are personalized.
“As an internal metric, what we try to do is have a patient checked into our office, go through our onboarding process, see our provider, and be checked out of the building within 60 minutes,” said Dr. Sung Chang, NEXus’ Founder and senior physician.
The main focus of NEXus is on improving its patients’ quality of life beyond the clinic. The most rewarding aspect of this work, the team reported, is helping restore the joy and hope in each patient’s life.
“We’ve been able to help a good number of these patients get back to a high-functioning quality of life,” said Dr. Angela Strother, one of NEXus’ skilled physicians. “They’ll come back in and talk about they’re able to spend more time with their grandkids or do things such as hobbies or activities they couldn’t do beforehand.”
In those rare cases where NEXus’ offerings are simply not ideal for a patient’s particular situation, its providers can easily provide a quality referral. The facility’s partnership with the surrounding hospitals and numerous medical groups means it has endless community connections to help ensure patient’s needs are met.
Chronic pain, like any other medical issue, can be managed and mitigated with the proper treatment. NEXus Pain Center has the expertise, equipment, and drive to work towards an effective treatment plan to help one live a life with less discomfort.

CHANGING MORE THAN HAIR
Beloved salon announces its rebranding under new ownership.
Through the unyielding efforts of multiple people, local treasure D’Allen’s Salon is undergoing a massive rebrand. Several renovations have already been put in place, and the new sign went up June 10th.
The story truly begins in 2000, when D’Allen’s founder David Dior settled the salon into its current location at 2515 Old Whittlesey Road. It quickly became a household name in the area. It recently expanded to a total of 18 private suites and 17 floor stations, enabling it to serve residents of Columbus and beyond more effectively. This expansion, however, is just a small sample of all the changes.
This year, David passed the baton onto D’Allen’s new owner, Courtney White. A long-time employee of D’Allen’s, Courtney truly understands what it is that makes the salon a staple of the community.
Under Courtney’s ownership, D’Allen’s began its restructuring. The vibe of the salon got enhanced with new styling chairs, comfortable shampoo station equipment, fun accent walls, a relaxing processing space, beautiful gold and white styling stations and lighting.
“It really looks like a completely different place when you walk in,” Courtney said. “It’s so bright, colorful, and inviting.”
“We all have a huge sense of respect for one another,” Courtney said. “It’s the kind of love you don’t traditionally see in a work atmosphere full of artists.”
She approached the rebranding in a way that kept the spirit of D’Allen’s intact but also made it her own. This thoughtfulness shows in the new name: TwentyFive Fifteen Salon and Company, named for the salon’s long-time location.
“It was five years ago David and I had a conversation about me opening my own salon,” Courtney said. “That’s when we began the vision of me purchasing D’Allen’s… We were very private in the process… It’s a legacy he’d created, and I wanted to make sure I carried that on with pride.”
“It’s something I’ve been looking forward to all year. I knew I wanted to wait until the updates were complete before I renamed us. The time has arrived, and the staff is pumped about our rebranding!”
With all the updates taking place, however, the
people behind Twenty-Five Fifteen are still what gives it the spirit it has always had. Several new team members have joined recently. It now hosts 38 employees consisting of 32 hairstylists, one nail technician, one spray tan artist, one licensed nurse injector, and three guest experience specialists.
The employees know they can call the salon home. Several employees, including Courtney White, have worked the majority of their careers there. And Courtney is not the only one who went on to own her own salon – several other former employees have struck out on their own in the industry, something David Dior always respected and encouraged.
“We all have a huge sense of respect for one another,” Courtney said. “It’s the kind of love you don’t traditionally see in a work atmosphere full of artists.”
Twenty-Five Fifteen’s heart is not just the employees. The clients are also what makes it the haven that it is. And the employees recognize that without the clients’ loyalty and constant support, their dreams would not be made possible.
“It’s never been about the hair for me,” Courtney said. “Until this year I was in a private suite at D’Allen’s, and through that intimate one-on-one time spent with each of my clients, my job became more fulfilling. The saying about sharing all the details of your life with your hairstylist has always been reciprocated with me. I’m most passionate about the people I’ve grown to love… We’ve been through many joys and pains together.”
The staff and clients of D’Allen’s Salon, now Twenty-Five Fifteen and Company, can look forward to many years to come of fond memories and stellar beauty services.
