Arizona Pain Specialists

What Arizona Pain Specialists does

Arizona Pain Specialists, LLC is a private, multi-disciplinary pain management practice headquartered in Chandler, Arizona and operating as a subsidiary of Pain Doctor, Inc. Founded in 2006 by Dr. Tory McJunkin and Dr. Paul Lynch, the practice delivers integrated chronic pain care across 9 clinical locations and 3 surgical centers spanning the Phoenix metropolitan area (Anthem, Biltmore, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, and Scottsdale). Services combine interventional procedures — including spinal cord stimulation, vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, nerve blocks, and joint injections — with chiropractic care, physical therapy, behavioral health, diagnostic imaging, and medication management under a single coordinated care model.

The clinical model is designed around conservative, opioid-sparing treatment pathways, supported by an in-house clinical research department (established in 2012) that has enabled participation in industry-sponsored neuromodulation trials with St. Jude Medical (SUNBURST study), Bioness (StimRouter peripheral nerve stimulation), and a research collaboration with Arizona State University on next-generation injectable neurostimulation devices. The practice reports patient outcomes including 33% opioid discontinuation, a 66% increase in return-to-work ability, and an 80% increase in activities of daily living, though these are self-reported metrics.

Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service basis billed primarily through insurance, with patient acquisition driven by direct scheduling, physician referrals, content marketing, community events, and social media. The practice does not disclose revenue, has no external institutional investment or public listing, and appears to remain physician-owned and operated under the Pain Doctor, Inc. umbrella. The legal entity is an Arizona-domiciled LLC, and the operating footprint is restricted to a single Southwest US metro with no announced geographic expansion plans.
