Chronic neuropathic pain in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is common and often overlooked.

CMT is a hereditary peripheral neuropathy characterized by progressive degeneration of the nerves that carry motor and sensory signals between the spinal cord and the limbs. This disease often leads to muscle weakness, sensory loss, and significant neuropathic pain.

While CMT traditionally has been viewed through the lens of motor dysfunction and sensory loss, neuropathic pain is increasingly recognized as a meaningful and often debilitating aspect of the disease.

Spinal cord stimulation is a proven interventional therapy that helps treat this chronic neuropathic pain, with published evidence demonstrating significant pain relief and improved quality of life following SCS implantation in patients with chronic pain due to this condition.

Common symptoms don’t always mean a common diagnoses!

Recently, I evaluated a patient with persistent hip pain that did not fully fit the typical mechanical patterns. Rather than stopping at the usual explanations, we proceeded with an MRI of the hip and pelvis. The finding was unexpected: a pelvic mass consistent with a liposarcoma.

This case was a powerful reminder that rare pathologies do exist, and they can present as very common complaints. The key is not to over-investigate every patient, but to remain clinically curious when symptoms persist, evolve, or do not fully align with the expected diagnosis.

My peer-reviewed publication, A Real-World Evaluation of Adjunctive Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Superior Cluneal Neuropathy Post-Spinal Cord Stimulation, is a free publication for available now for anyone to read!

Even with successful spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy, pain of peripheral nerve origin can occur. Such areas of focal pain may be suitable for peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS). In this publication, we report on the early clinical and technical aspects of a retrospective case series of PNS used for superior cluneal neuropathy as an adjunct to SCS.

I’m proud to share my latest peer-reviewed publication, Safety and Effectiveness of Intraoperative Neuromonitoring in Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: A Single-Center Real-World Data Analysis and Review.

We analyzed real-world outcomes of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) during peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) procedures. This study highlights the value of actively interpreting neuromonitoring during PNS, which is critically important for the future of neuromodulation. Our findings demonstrate that real-time interpretation of IONM during PNS implantation significantly enhances both safety and clinical effectiveness.

DRG Stimulation: A Life-Changing Therapy Too Many Patients Still Can’t Access.

Recently I provided expert consultation to a young patient from southern Europe living with severe lower-extremity CRPS. Despite her determination, she came from a healthcare system where accurate diagnosis and advanced treatments like DRG (Dorsal Root Ganglion) stimulation are still scarce. It was a powerful reminder of how uneven global access remains for a therapy that can truly change lives.

For CRPS of the lower extremity, DRG stimulation has become one of the most successful therapies in interventional pain management. The contrast between what is possible here and what remains unavailable to so many patients abroad is striking. It underscores the need for continued education, broader access, and global collaboration—so patients everywhere can receive the care they deserve.

Cervical Facet Pain: Highly Treatable, Long-Lasting Relief!

Cervical facet–mediated neck pain is a major cause of chronic neck discomfort and headaches, but the good news is that it’s also one of the most successfully treated sources of spine pain. With precise diagnosis and advanced interventional techniques like cervical medial branch blocks and radiofrequency ablation (RFA), patients often experience significant and long-lasting relief, improved mobility, and a better quality of life!

At Expert Pain, I’m proud to offer these proven therapies with consistently excellent outcomes. Helping patients regain comfort and function is at the core of what we do every day.

Lumbar Radiofrequency Ablation: A Reliable Option for Chronic Low Back Pain!

For patients suffering from chronic axial low back pain, lumbar radiofrequency ablation (RFA) offers meaningful relief and improved function. By precisely targeting the medial branch nerves that transmit pain from the facet joints, RFA can provide months, and often more than a year, of reduced pain and better mobility without the need for opioids or surgery.

At Expert Pain, we are proud to offer this proven, minimally invasive therapy to help patients restore function and improve quality of life. For information on my practice and if pain care services may be right for you, visit expertpaincare.com or call us at 832-862-7246!

As physicians, one of our greatest responsibilities and privileges is passing on what we’ve learned to the next generation.

Teaching the science and art of neuromodulation to younger colleagues is not just about sharing technical skills. It’s also about inspiring curiosity, nurturing judgment, and fostering the confidence to explore innovative therapies that can truly change patients’ lives.

The future of pain medicine depends on our willingness to teach, guide, and invest in those who will continue this important work long after us. I am grateful for every chance to contribute to that future, opening doors, providing opportunities, and supporting talented physicians as they grow into leaders in our field!

A few days ago I had the opportunity to help a patient with painful peripheral neuropathy of the feet using L5–S1 DRG stimulation.

This targeted approach continues to show remarkable success in treating focal neuropathic pain where traditional SCS may not reach.
Precision neuromodulation keeps redefining what’s possible in pain management!

It was a privilege to teach and collaborate with fellow physicians on advancing neuromodulation and interventional pain management!

Sharing knowledge and promoting best practices in spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) therapy is not only about improving outcomes—it’s about shaping a safer, more effective future for our patients.
