About Dr. Alison Ganong

Board-certified in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine, Dr. Alison Ganong specializes in non-surgical treatment for musculoskeletal and spine-related conditions. Her expertise in musculoskeletal ultrasound enhances both diagnosis and treatment, allowing for highly precise, image-guided procedures.

Dr. Ganong believes effective care begins with listening—understanding each patient’s story, goals, and lifestyle to create an individualized treatment approach. Her patient-centered philosophy combines traditional sports medicine with regenerative medicine techniques to help patients reduce pain, recover from injury, and restore mobility. She is passionate about helping active individuals return to the activities they enjoy with less pain and improved function.

Care begins with a comprehensive evaluation and, when appropriate, diagnostic imaging to support an accurate diagnosis. In-office musculoskeletal ultrasound is used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, helping guide injections with precision and support optimal healing.

Treatment options include cortisone and hyaluronic acid injections for pain management, as well as regenerative therapies such as PRP and stem cell (BMAC) injections. Spinal procedures including epidural injections, facet joint injections, and radiofrequency ablation are performed at Truckee Surgery Center using fluoroscopic guidance.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Ganong’s connection to the Tahoe community continues to shape her approach to patient care.

Raised in Alpine Meadows and now living in Tahoe City with her partner and young twins, Dr. Ganong has a deep connection to the Tahoe community and the outdoor lifestyle that defines it. From alpine skiing and mountain biking to hiking and wake surfing, she understands the importance of staying active and the impact injury or pain can have on daily life.

Her approach to care is rooted in helping patients return to the activities they enjoy with improved function, reduced pain, and long-term mobility.
