Our Medical Practice incorporates the most advanced treatment methods
available in pain management.  We are leaders in teaching other pain physicians
nationwide  and around the world.  Dr Whitworth has taught and been in charge of
conferences in Dubai, Holland, Germany, Korea, France, Denmark, and other
countries.  He is a leader in the field and on the board of directors of  ISIS
(spinalinjection.org).  We are active in research and the pursuit of enhanced
therapies for the treatment of chronic pain conditions.
   
        Better Pain Management is our Mission, not Just a Job
Some of our advanced techniques include
  • ultrasound diagnostics and guided injections
  • vertebroplasty for osteoporotic and cancer associated
    spine fractures
  • cancer pain treatment
  • intrathecal infusion pump implantation
  • spinal cord stimulation
  • radiosurgery
Most procedures are performed with the option of
microgeneral anesthesia in our AAAHC Nationally
Certified Surgery Suite- the only pain center certified
in the region.   Our procedures cost up to 90% less
than pain procedures performed in hospitals or
surgery centers.
