The Denver Spine and Pain Institute

What The Denver Spine and Pain Institute does

The Denver Spine and Pain Institute (legal entity Denver Back Pain Specialists LLC) is a private, physician-owned multidisciplinary pain management practice founded in 2012 and based in Greenwood Village, Colorado. It treats chronic and acute pain across spine-related disorders, musculoskeletal conditions, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), brain and nerve disorders, and headaches using a proprietary methodology called the Connected Care Approach™. The practice combines board-certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physicians, nurse practitioners, a physician associate, physical therapists, massage therapists, behavioral health specialists (via MindYourPain), and clinical research administration under a coordinated care model that spans conservative therapy through advanced interventional procedures including spinal cord stimulation, basivertebral nerve ablation (Intracept), radiofrequency ablation, and regenerative medicine (PRP and stem cell injections). The practice also operates as a regional clinical research site, participating in FDA-regulated Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials sponsored by ReGelTec, BioRestorative, Mesoblast, SAOL, Boston Scientific (MOSAIC), and others.

The practice generates revenue through professional services billed to a diversified payor mix including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Medicare, United Healthcare, Tricare, Work Comp, and more than 25 other accepted insurance plans. Patient acquisition runs through physician referrals (with a dedicated web referral form), organic search, social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Instagram), the Better Living Blog, email newsletter, and word of mouth. Procedures requiring surgical-center facilities are performed via partnerships with Lone Tree Surgery Center and Centrum Surgical Center (an HCA affiliate), allowing the practice to extend procedural capacity without owning additional real estate. Patient pricing is not publicly disclosed; the practice does not maintain a public app, API, or proprietary software platform.
