Pain Management & Injury Relief

What Pain Management & Injury Relief does

Pain Management & Injury Relief Medical Center (PMIR) is a private, founder-owned interventional pain management practice founded in 2003 by Dr. Alexander P. Hersel and headquartered at Serra Medical Plaza, 1120 Newbury Rd STE 150, Thousand Oaks, California. The practice delivers minimally invasive, non-narcotic pain relief procedures to patients across Ventura County and the greater Los Angeles area, accepting cases without physician referral via phone, online booking, and in-person visits. PMIR's clinical scope spans 17+ chronic pain conditions and approximately 19 treatment modalities, including spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in conventional, HF10, burst, and adaptive modes, balloon kyphoplasty using Stryker's iVAS system, Vertiflex indirect decompression, radiofrequency ablation, epidural steroid injections, celiac and hypogastric plexus blocks, peripheral nerve stimulation, PRP therapy, ketamine infusion, and viscosupplementation.

Underlying the practice is a fluoroscopy- and imaging-guided interventional platform combined with an integrative care model that supplements Western procedures with complementary and alternative medicine specialists (acupuncture, yoga therapy, massage, mindfulness). Revenue is generated through professional services billing for procedures and consultations, paid via insurance and patient responsibility; no direct pricing is publicly disclosed. The provider team consists of two physicians (Dr. Alexander P. Hersel and Dr. Bradley Spiegel, each with training at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, Cornell, or UCLA, and Pain Management fellowship credentials) and two board-certified physician assistants (Jodi Mwendia and Pauntea Bral), supporting an estimated 11-50 total staff. Marketing is content-led through a 42-page educational blog, patient testimonials, community/charity partnerships (American Diabetes Association, Cancer Support Community, Relay for Life, Let's Move Together), and organic SEO; no paid acquisition channels or formal referral network are disclosed. The practice is closely held, with no venture, private equity, or institutional capital disclosed.

Products and services

• Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) Implantable device therapy using low-level electrical impulses to modify pain signals in the spinal cord before they reach the brain; available in conventional, high-frequency (HF10), burst, and adaptive stimulation modes for patients with failed back surgery syndrome, CRPS, and refractory chronic pain.
• Vertiflex Procedure (Indirect Decompression) FDA-approved, minimally invasive procedure using the Superion Indirect Decompression System to relieve lumbar spinal stenosis by creating space in the spinal canal without destabilizing the spine.
• Kyphoplasty Minimally invasive vertebral augmentation using Stryker's iVAS balloon system to create a cavity in collapsed vertebrae and inject bone cement for stabilization and pain relief of compression fractures.
• Vertebroplasty Minimally invasive outpatient procedure injecting bone cement into broken or fractured vertebrae to immediately stabilize compression fractures and relieve associated pain (90%+ success rate).
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Minimally invasive procedure using radiofrequency energy to heat small nerve tissue areas and prevent transmission of pain signals for chronic low back, neck, and arthritis-related joint pain (70%+ patients experience relief lasting 6–12 months).
• Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI) Minimally invasive, fluoroscopy-guided corticosteroid injection into the epidural space around nerve roots to reduce inflammation and relieve spinal nerve irritation (50% of patients experience lower back pain relief).
• Facet Block Injections Fluoroscopy-guided steroid injection into facet joint capsules to reduce inflammation and relieve neck or back pain originating from cervical, thoracic, or lumbar facet joints.
• Nerve Blocks Medical procedures using local anesthetics, corticosteroids, or other medications injected near or around nerves to disrupt pain signal transmission and provide temporary or therapeutic pain relief.
• Celiac Plexus Block Minimally invasive nerve block procedure targeting the celiac plexus nerves in the upper abdomen to block pain signals from abdominal organs, particularly for pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis (84% success rate).
• Hypogastric Plexus Block Minimally invasive procedure targeting the hypogastric plexus nerves near the base of the spinal cord to relieve pain in the bladder, colon, ovaries, prostate, rectum, and pelvic area.
• Intercostal Nerve Block Minimally invasive nerve block targeting intercostal nerves to reduce chronic chest or rib pain from injury, surgery, shingles, or nerve damage.
• Stellate Ganglion Blocks Targeted injection delivering anesthetic to sympathetic nerves in the neck at the C6–C7 vertebrae to interrupt pain signals for CRPS, trigeminal neuralgia, phantom limb pain, and shingles.
• Piriformis Block Injections Injection of local anesthetic and steroid directly into the piriformis muscle to relieve sciatic nerve irritation and treat sciatica-like symptoms from piriformis syndrome.
• Trigger Point Injections Injection targeting muscle trigger points using corticosteroid or Sarapin to inactivate trigger points and relieve referred pain from musculoskeletal conditions.
• Peripheral Nerve Stimulation Minimally invasive treatment using an implantable peripheral nerve stimulator device to deliver controlled electrical impulses to targeted nerves, blocking pain signals before they reach the brain.
• Botox Injections Botulinum Toxin Type A injections used for chronic pain management to block neurotransmitter acetylcholine, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate chronic muscle-related pain and spasms.
• Ketamine Infusion Therapy Intravenous ketamine administration for treating chronic pain conditions including fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, migraines, and CRPS, as well as mood disorders such as depression and anxiety.
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy Autologous treatment using the patient's own blood processed in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, which are injected into injured tissue to promote healing of musculoskeletal conditions.
• Viscosupplementation Hyaluronic acid injection therapy for osteoarthritis that increases synovial fluid viscosity, improves joint lubrication, reduces friction, and may slow joint degeneration.
• Medication Management Comprehensive pain medication management evaluating integrative alternatives, reducing drug interactions, and lessening dependence on pain medication through personalized treatment plans.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Texas Pain Relief Group: Multi-location interventional pain management practice in Texas. Directly comparable to PMIR in service mix (SCS, nerve blocks, RFA, kyphoplasty, PRP) and patient base, though concentrated in a different geography.
• National Spine & Pain Centers: One of the largest US interventional pain management practices with multiple sites across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond. Directly comparable to PMIR as it offers the same core mix of spinal cord stimulation, nerve blocks, RFA, and epidural injections, but at significantly greater scale.
• Clearway Pain Solutions: PE-backed interventional pain management platform operating multiple clinic sites. Directly comparable to PMIR in service offering (SCS, RFA, kyphoplasty, nerve blocks) and patient base, but with institutional capital and a multi-site operating model PMIR lacks.

Broad incumbents

• US Anesthesia Partners: Large anesthesia and chronic-pain physician services organization with cross-specialty overlap. Comparable to PMIR through its interventional pain and anesthesiology physician base, though it operates at vastly greater scale and across hospital and ASC settings.
• Surgery Partners: Public ambulatory surgical center operator that runs outpatient facilities, including pain management and spine procedures. Comparable to PMIR as a broad incumbent in the outpatient interventional space, though it operates the facility layer rather than the physician layer.

Others

• Medtronic: Manufacturer of spinal cord stimulation (Intellis) and other neurostimulation systems used by PMIR. Comparable as a key upstream device supplier whose technology roadmap directly influences PMIR's clinical and reimbursement positioning.
• Boston Scientific: Manufacturer of spinal cord stimulation (WaveWriter, Precision) and interventional pain devices. Comparable to PMIR as a critical device supplier; its product launches and pricing shape the economics of PMIR's highest-acuity procedures.
• Abbott: Manufacturer of Proclaim and Eterna neurostimulation platforms and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) therapy used in interventional pain. Comparable to PMIR as a device vendor whose trial participation and product cycles influence PMIR's procedure mix.
• Stryker: Manufacturer of the iVAS balloon kyphoplasty system and other spine intervention tools used at PMIR. Comparable as an equipment supplier central to PMIR's vertebral compression fracture service line.
• Nalu Medical: Emerging neurostimulation device company whose Nalu Comfort Trial PMIR is actively enrolling in. Comparable as a device-vendor/clinical-trial partner whose next-generation PNS systems could expand PMIR's peripheral nerve stimulation offering.
