Dr. Routon believes that exceptional healthcare goes beyond treating a diagnosis—it means caring for the whole person. She is passionate about empowering her patients through education, individualized treatment, and genuine relationships that foster hope and lasting results.
When she’s not in the clinic, Nina enjoys spending time outdoors snowboarding, hiking, camping, and making memories with her husband, their two daughters, and their dogs.

ABOUT SALT + LIGHT WELLNESS
Salt + Light Wellness is a boutique physical therapy clinic in Carson City, Nevada, specializing in lymphedema therapy, manual lymphatic drainage, lipedema treatment, oncology rehabilitation, neurologic rehabilitation, neuropathy treatment, and Parkinson's disease rehabilitation.
Our team provides one-on-one, evidence-based care designed to help patients reduce swelling, improve mobility, restore function, and regain confidence after illness, surgery, cancer treatment, or chronic conditions.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Salt & Light Wellness was created from a simple belief: healthcare should restore hope.
Too often, people living with lymphedema, lipedema, cancer-related complications, neurological conditions, or chronic pain feel unheard, rushed, or told to simply "live with it." We knew there had to be a better way.
We created Salt & Light Wellness to provide exceptional, evidence-based care in an environment where every person is seen, valued, and treated with compassion. We believe healing is about more than reducing symptoms, it's about restoring confidence, independence, and quality of life.
Our name reflects the calling that inspires everything we do. We strive to be the "salt of the earth and the light of the world" by serving others with excellence, integrity, and genuine compassion. Whether you're recovering from cancer treatment, managing lymphedema or lipedema, or working toward better movement and function, our goal is to walk alongside you every step of the way.
Because we're not just in the healthcare business, we're in the hope business.
