Georgia Pain Management

What Georgia Pain Management does

Georgia Pain Management is a private, physician-owned interventional pain management practice headquartered at 120 Stone Bridge Parkway, Suite 420, Woodstock, Georgia, serving patients with acute and chronic pain conditions across the Atlanta metro region. The practice is led by James Ellner, MD, a board-certified interventional pain management specialist, and offers a portfolio of nonsurgical and minimally invasive treatments including epidural steroid injections, radiofrequency neurotomy, spinal cord stimulation (notably Nevro's HF10 technology), the MILD procedure for lumbar spinal stenosis, and Stryker's Intracept BVNA procedure for chronic vertebrogenic low back pain. The practice also treats diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, hip pain, and complex conditions such as CRPS.

The clinical operation is anchored by Samson Pain Center, PC, an on-site ambulatory surgery center at South Cherokee Medical Center operating under Georgia Permit # 028-253 and accredited by the AAAHC, enabling diagnostic imaging, image-guided procedures, and surgical interventions in a single location. The practice supports the full care continuum from evaluation through intervention, with on-site capabilities that include X-ray, CT, and MRI imaging.

Georgia Pain Management operates as a professional services practice on fee-for-service reimbursement, accepting most major insurance providers including Aetna, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, Medicare, Tricare, and United Health Care, and filing claims for contracted plans. Patients are acquired primarily through physician referrals and self-referrals, supported by a direct-to-patient marketing stack that includes the practice website, online appointment booking, an educational blog, and patient testimonials. Charges, co-pays, and deductibles are due at the time of service. The practice employs 1–10 staff and operates from a single location with no disclosed expansion, funding events, or parent ownership.

Products and services

• Sciatica Treatment Interventional treatment for sciatica, a condition causing shooting pain from the lower back into the hip and leg, typically caused by nerve compression; offered to patients referred for or presenting with sciatica pain.
• Herniated Disc Treatment Treatment for herniated discs where the soft center protrudes through the tougher exterior, irritating nearby nerves and causing pain in the lower back or neck; for patients diagnosed with cervical or lumbar disc herniation.
• Spinal Stenosis Treatment Treatment for spinal stenosis, a condition where the spinal canal narrows and puts pressure on nerves, causing back or neck pain; for patients with symptomatic lumbar or cervical spinal stenosis.
• Epidural Steroid Injection In-office procedure using fluoroscopy guidance to inject anti-inflammatory medication into the epidural space to reduce nerve inflammation and relieve back or neck pain; for patients with radicular pain from disc herniation or stenosis.
• Neck Pain Treatment Diagnostic and treatment services for neck pain, including cervical herniated discs, radiculopathy, and degenerative conditions using interventional approaches; for patients with acute or chronic cervical spine pain.
• Spinal Cord Stimulation (including Nevro HF10) Advanced interventional treatment using an implantable device that delivers electrical signals to the spinal cord to mask pain signals before they reach the brain, including HF10/Nevro HFX technology; for chronic pain patients (including Painful Diabetic Neuropathy and chronic back/leg pain) who have not found relief with other treatments, with a trial period offered before permanent implantation.
• Diabetic Neuropathy Treatment Treatment for nerve damage caused by diabetes, including pain, tingling, burning, and numbness in the hands and feet, using interventional techniques; for patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, including those with Painful Diabetic Neuropathy.
• Chronic Pain Management Comprehensive approach to reducing pain and improving function for patients with long-term pain conditions through nonsurgical interventional procedures; for adult patients with chronic pain that has not resolved with conservative treatment.
• MILD (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression) Outpatient procedure for lumbar spinal stenosis that removes excess ligament tissue and bone through a tiny incision to relieve nerve pressure and restore space in the spinal canal, performed under X-ray guidance; for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis seeking an outpatient option with faster recovery.
• BVNA Procedure (Basivertebral Nerve Ablation) Specialized outpatient procedure using the Intracept system from Stryker that targets the basivertebral nerve within vertebrae to relieve chronic vertebrogenic low back pain with no implant left in the body; for patients with chronic vertebrogenic low back pain unresponsive to conservative care.
• Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment Treatment for peripheral neuropathy affecting nerves outside the central nervous system, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in hands and feet; for patients diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy.
• Hip Pain Treatment Minimally invasive solutions for hip pain including image-guided injections, nerve blocks, and physical therapy coordination to help avoid hip replacement surgery; for patients with hip pain seeking to avoid or postpone surgical replacement.
• Back Pain Treatment Personalized treatment for acute and chronic back conditions including lumbar spinal stenosis, herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease using interventional nonsurgical approaches; for patients presenting with back pain across the acuity spectrum.
• Samson Pain Center (Ambulatory Surgery Center) On-site state-of-the-art ambulatory surgery center located at the South Cherokee Medical Center (Georgia Permit # 028-253), accredited by AAAHC, used to perform interventional pain procedures for practice patients, enabling comprehensive care from consultation through surgical intervention in one location.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Direct peers

• National Spine & Pain Centers: Multi-site US interventional pain management group offering epidural injections, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, and other minimally invasive procedures. Most directly comparable peer in terms of services, patient mix, and physician-led delivery model.
• Integrated Pain Management: Interventional pain management practice group with multiple locations across the eastern US. Closely comparable on procedure mix (SCS, RFA, MILD-equivalents) and on payer-mix exposure to Medicare and commercial plans.

Emerging players

• Sword Health: Virtual MSK care platform combining AI-guided exercise therapy with licensed clinicians. Targets the same low-back and joint-pain population that feeds interventional pain referrals, often via payer and employer contracts.
• Hinge Health: Digital musculoskeletal platform delivering app-based exercise therapy, coaching, and sometimes in-person PT. Competes for the same chronic back and joint pain patient population, but via a digital-first, non-interventional model increasingly used by payers and employers.

Broad incumbents

• Tenet Healthcare / USPI: Through United Surgical Partners International, one of the largest ASC operators in the US, including facilities offering interventional pain procedures. A scaled incumbent competing for the same outpatient pain surgery volumes.
• HCA Healthcare: Large for-profit hospital system that operates hospital-based and freestanding pain management programs and ASCs. Provides broad, overlapping interventional pain capabilities as part of a wider service portfolio in the Atlanta metro and nationally.
• US Physical Therapy: National outpatient physical therapy and industrial rehabilitation operator. Competes with interventional pain practices for conservative-treatment MSK patients and is a typical upstream alternative to procedures like those offered by Georgia Pain.
• Surgery Partners: Large operator of ambulatory surgical centers, including those hosting interventional pain procedures. Comparable through the ASC ownership angle (Georgia Pain's Samson Pain Center competes in the same outpatient surgery channel).

Others

• Stryker: Medical device company whose Intracept basivertebral nerve ablation system is offered at Georgia Pain. Functions as a strategic technology partner rather than a competitor, but its device pipeline directly affects the practice's procedure mix.
• Nevro: Medical device manufacturer of the HFX spinal cord stimulation system used by Georgia Pain. Not a competitor but a key supplier whose commercial priorities, pricing, and clinical evidence shape the practice's SCS economics.
