Care at the clinic centers on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions and work-related injuries, covering acute, sub-acute and chronic issues. Physical medicine and rehabilitation is offered for patients of all ages, and a physiatrist diagnoses and treats sports and work injuries. Diagnostic testing includes electromyography and nerve conduction velocity testing, which measures how quickly an electrical impulse moves through a nerve. For patients injured at work, functional capacity evaluation is available. Physical therapy is offered as a non-invasive treatment to restore body movement and manage pain for people with chronic diseases, injuries and limited mobility, and acupuncturists treat pain arising from injuries to the spine and extremities.

The clinic also provides joint and soft tissue procedures. Corticosteroid injections are used to reduce pain and inflammation in conditions such as knee, elbow and wrist osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder, bursitis, tendinitis and rotator cuff disorders. Hyaluronic acid injections improve joint lubrication and are often combined with corticosteroids, particularly for knee osteoarthritis. Platelet-rich plasma injections use concentrated platelets from the patient's own blood to promote healing in mild to moderate osteoarthritis and chronic tendon injuries. Local anesthetics such as lidocaine are injected alone or with corticosteroids for immediate pain relief and to help identify the source of joint pain, and joint aspiration may be used to remove excess fluid before a corticosteroid injection.

The clinic sits on East Romie Lane, about a tenth of a mile from Salinas Valley Health Medical Center. Maple Park is roughly two tenths of a mile away and Clarmont Manor Park about three tenths of a mile. Monterey Park Elementary School is a short distance away, and Abbott Street is nearby.

NMCI Medical Clinic treats patients throughout California, and its Salinas location brings that multidisciplinary approach to the Salinas Valley, combining pain management, occupational medicine and rehabilitation for people recovering from work and musculoskeletal injuries.
