Pain Specialists of America

What Pain Specialists of America does

Pain Specialists of America (PSA) is a private, physician-owned interventional pain management practice headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded in 2017 and operating across Central Texas. The company runs a network of 14 clinic locations and 4 ambulatory surgery centers covering Austin (three sites), Bastrop, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Killeen, New Braunfels, Round Rock, San Marcos, Seguin, Temple, and Waco, employing between 251 and 500 staff. PSA delivers comprehensive, single-source pain management for adult patients with chronic pain conditions affecting the neck, shoulder, back, wrist, knee, ankle, foot, hip, hand, and elbow, including spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, neuropathy, failed back surgery syndrome, and cancer-related pain.

PSA's core technology and procedures portfolio includes spinal cord stimulation (with trial-to-permanent pathway), facet blocks and medial branch blocks, nerve blocks (lumbar sympathetic, occipital), joint injections (corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, PRP), trigger point injections, and advanced options such as the VERTIFLEX Superion implant for lumbar spinal stenosis, stem cell therapy, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) regenerative medicine. The four physician-owned ambulatory surgery centers (PSA Ambulatory Surgery Center of Austin/Lakeline, PSA Surgery Center of Killeen, PSA Surgery Center of South Austin, and The Pain Relief SurgiCenter on Duval Road) are designed for outpatient delivery of more complex procedures, providing safer, more affordable, and more convenient alternatives to hospital-based surgery.

PSA makes money through insurance reimbursement for professional services and ASC facility fees, with additional elective out-of-pocket revenue from regenerative medicine treatments. Its go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, combining new-patient appointment requests through LeadingReach, self-scheduling for existing patients, a downloadable physician referral form, and an educational content engine (blog, YouTube testimonials, and organic social on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest). PSA reports a 4.6 out of 5 patient rating across 5,821 reviews and has received the Castle Connolly Top Doctor designation five consecutive years (2021-2025).

Common outpatient procedures taking 10-15 minutes.
• Regenerative Medicine (Stem Cell Therapy and PRP) Advanced treatment modalities using adult stem cells and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) harvested from the patient's own body to heal or regenerate damaged tissues, including degenerated spinal discs, joints, and soft tissue injuries.
• Joint Injections Minimally invasive image-guided procedures injecting corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, or platelet-rich plasma directly into joints to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and improve function.
• Trigger Point Injections Targeted injections of local anesthetic with or without steroids into tight, knotted muscle fiber bundles (trigger points) to relieve myofascial pain and increase mobility.
• VERTIFLEX Superion Implant Procedure Minimally invasive outpatient procedure placing a small titanium interspinous spacer implant through a small lower-back incision to provide spacing within the spinal canal and relieve pressure for lumbar spinal stenosis patients. Procedure takes about 30 minutes with no tissue or bone damage and minimal blood loss.

Direct peers

• National Spine & Pain Centers: One of the largest U.S. interventional pain management physician groups with multiple clinic and ASC locations. Directly comparable in service mix (spinal cord stimulation, nerve blocks, injections) and multi-site operating model, though larger and multi-state.
• Clearway Pain Solutions: Multi-location interventional pain management group offering comparable procedures including spinal cord stimulation and joint injections. Operates with a similar clinic-network model and patient-acquisition approach.
• Premier Pain Centers: Multi-physician interventional pain practice offering a similar procedure portfolio including spinal cord stimulation, nerve blocks, and regenerative therapies. Comparable operating model targeting chronic pain patients.
• Apollo Pain Management: Interventional pain management practice offering comparable minimally invasive procedures including spinal cord stimulation, nerve blocks, and joint injections. Similar single-specialty focus on chronic pain conditions.
• Comprehensive Centers for Pain Management: Midwest-based multi-location interventional pain practice offering comparable procedure mix (spinal cord stim, blocks, injections, regenerative therapies) under a similar multi-clinic operating model.

Regional players

• Texas Pain Relief Group: Texas-based interventional pain management practice offering similar minimally invasive procedures. Geographic overlap with PSA's Central Texas footprint, but operates at smaller scale without the multi-ASC infrastructure.
• Resurgens Orthopaedics: Large multi-specialty musculoskeletal group based in the Southeast that includes interventional pain management services alongside orthopedics. Comparable service overlap for spine and joint pain patients but in a different geography.

Broad incumbents

• US Anesthesia Partners: Large PE-backed anesthesia and pain management physician services organization. Operates across multiple states with a portfolio model that overlaps PSA's interventional pain services as part of a broader anesthesia practice platform.
• Surgery Partners: Public operator of ambulatory surgery centers and surgical hospitals across the U.S. Comparable to PSA's ASC footprint and facility-fee revenue model, but diversified across many specialties rather than focused on pain.
• HCA Healthcare: One of the largest U.S. for-profit hospital operators with significant Texas presence and outpatient service lines including pain management. Represents the broader hospital-system incumbent that PSA's ASC model partially competes against.
