Services
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine treatments harness the body's natural healing processes to repair damaged tissues and reduce chronic pain. These advanced therapies stimulate cellular regeneration, offering long-term solutions for musculoskeletal conditions and degenerative diseases. Ideal for patients seeking alternatives to surgery or medication-based pain management.
Epidural Injection
Epidural injections deliver targeted anti-inflammatory medication to spinal nerve roots, providing rapid relief from back pain and radiating symptoms. This minimally invasive procedure effectively reduces nerve compression and inflammation, offering both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits for chronic spinal conditions.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation uses controlled heat to disrupt pain signals in malfunctioning nerves, providing lasting relief from chronic neck, back, and joint pain. This precise, image-guided procedure offers a safe alternative for patients who haven't responded to conventional treatments.
Spinal Cord Stimulator
Spinal cord stimulation employs mild electrical impulses to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. This innovative treatment effectively manages chronic back pain and neuropathic conditions through a minimally invasive, adjustable implant system tailored to individual pain patterns.
Kyphoplasty
Kyphoplasty restores vertebral body height and stabilizes compression fractures using specialized bone cement. This minimally invasive procedure rapidly alleviates fracture-related back pain while preventing further spinal deformity, enabling quicker recovery compared to traditional treatments.

When you forget multiple times to get medication called in to the correct pharmacy before 5pm on Friday and make your patient suffer in pain all weekend… I think is ridiculous!

Would recommend West Texas Pain Institute for pain management. This last set of injections has worked great so far ( 3 days). Ihave been able to get more of my chores done with less breaks and shorter rest periods. Thank you.

Terrible service. They over book patients. Takes them hours to see you and to give you a prescription. Good luck trying to reach them on the phone. I've been trying for 2 days. No one answers. After 20 minutes I just hang up. Why take so many patients if you can't handle them.
