Advanced Spine and Pain Centers

What Advanced Spine and Pain Centers does

Advanced Spine and Pain Centers is a private, physician-owned interventional pain management practice headquartered at 11220 Executive Center Drive in Little Rock, Arkansas, with two additional clinic locations in Conway and North Little Rock. The practice was co-founded by Dr. Ahmed Ghaleb, M.D. (Mayo Clinic Pain Fellowship, UAMS Clinical Professor, board-certified in Anesthesiology) and Dr. Majid Saleem, M.D. (UAMS fellowship-trained, board-certified in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine), both serving as Medical Directors and co-founders. The practice serves individual chronic pain patients across central Arkansas who have not responded to conservative treatments, offering a comprehensive service line that includes 24 interventional procedures (epidural steroid injections at cervical/thoracic/lumbar/caudal/transforaminal levels, facet joint injections, medial branch blocks, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulator trials and implants, IDET, sympathetic nerve blocks, discography, trigger point injections, and others) complemented by medication management, massage therapy, and chiropractic care.

The underlying technology is purely clinical rather than software-based: fluoroscopy/X-ray-guided needle placement for precision, radiofrequency and electrothermal modalities, and implantable neuromodulation devices. There is no software platform, proprietary technology IP, or AI/ML capability. The patient-facing technology stack is limited to standard third-party digital intake (Phreesia appointment forms) and a Prognocis-hosted patient portal, with marketing presence on Facebook and a legacy Google+ page.

The business model is professional services revenue billed predominantly through third-party insurance payers. The practice accepts all insurance plans except BCBS of IL, Qual Choice Advantage, and CHI Qual Choice, and patient acquisition is driven by physician referrals (with a dedicated referral form and fax line) supplemented by self-referrals through online appointment requests. The practice has no disclosed external investment, no parent company, and operates as an independent medical group with an adjacent referral relationship to the separately owned Executive Surgery Center of Little Rock, LLC.

Core offering

Advanced Spine and Pain Centers is a private medical practice providing interventional pain management services to individual patients with chronic pain conditions. The practice delivers diagnostic testing, medication management, massage therapy, chiropractic care, and a comprehensive range of minimally invasive pain procedures (epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, IDET, discography) performed under fluoroscopy guidance across three clinic locations in central Arkansas.

Product overview

Advanced Spine and Pain Centers is a medical practice offering a unified suite of interventional pain management services rather than a software product. The core offering consists of 24 distinct medical procedures centered on pain diagnosis and treatment, including various types of injections (epidural, facet joint, nerve blocks), radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulator placement, and IDET. These interventional procedures are complemented by conservative therapies including medication management, massage therapy, and chiropractic care. The practice operates three clinic locations in Arkansas (Little Rock, North Little Rock, and Conway) and maintains a patient portal for appointment scheduling and medical records access.

Products and services

• Lumbar Facet Injection An injection of anti-inflammatory steroid medication and local anesthetic into the lumbar facet joint, used as a diagnostic tool to confirm facet joint as the source of pain and to treat low back, abdomen, buttock, groin, or leg pain.
• Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection Injection of anti-inflammatory steroid medication and local anesthetic into the epidural space in the caudal (sacral) region to treat low back and leg pain caused by inflammation of the vertebral disc and/or nerves.
• Celiac Plexus Block Injection of anti-inflammatory steroid medication and local anesthetic around the Celiac Plexus nerves behind the stomach to diagnose and reduce abdominal pain caused by conditions such as cancer or pancreatitis.
• Cervical Epidural Injection Injection of anti-inflammatory steroid medication and local anesthetic into the epidural space in the neck region to treat neck and arm pain caused by inflammation of the vertebral disc and/or nerves.
• Cervical Facet Joint Injection Injection of anti-inflammatory steroid medication and local anesthetic directly into the cervical facet joint to diagnose and treat pain in the head, neck, shoulders, between shoulder blades, or in the arm.
• Cervical Facet Medial Branch Block Injection of anti-inflammatory steroid medication and local anesthetic near the medial branch nerve that supplies the cervical facet joint, used as a diagnostic tool to confirm if the facet joint is the source of pain.
• Cervical Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) Radiofrequency denervation procedure that destroys nerves conducting painful signals from degenerated cervical facet joints using heat generated by radio waves, an alternative to surgical fusion.
• Discography Diagnostic procedure involving injection of local anesthetic and dye into spinal discs to determine which disc level(s) is painful, typically used as a diagnostic tool for surgeons.
• Ganglion Impar Block Block procedure targeting the ganglion impar nerve to treat pain in the sacral region.
• Hip Injection Injection of anti-inflammatory steroid medication and local anesthetic into the hip joint, used as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for hip pain caused by inflammation or arthritis.
• Hypogastric Plexus Block Injection of pain-killing medication near the hypogastric plexus nerves located at the lower abdomen/pelvis to treat pelvic pain including pain in the bladder, lower intestines, uterus, ovaries, prostate, and testicles.
• Intradiscal ElectroThermal Therapy (IDET) Procedure using a special catheter placed into the disc to apply controlled levels of heat, contracting and thickening the collagen of the disc wall to reduce pain in selected patients with back pain.
• Intercostal Nerve Block Injection of local anesthetic with or without steroid under the rib where the intercostal nerve lies, used for pain in the rib area after surgery, rib fractures, shingles, or nerve entrapment.
• IV Lidocaine Infusion Intravenous infusion of Lidocaine (local anesthetic) into the bloodstream to treat neuropathic (nerve) pain or central pain syndromes that have not responded to other treatments.
• Sacro Iliac (SI) Joint Injection Injection of anti-inflammatory steroid medication and local anesthetic into the sacroiliac joint to diagnose and treat lower back, hip, groin, or leg pain caused by joint inflammation or irritation.
• Selective Nerve Root Block Injection performed to determine if a specific spinal nerve root is the source of pain and to reduce inflammation around the nerve root, decreasing or relieving back and/or leg pain.
• Spinal Cord Stimulator Implantable device that sends electrical signals to the spinal cord to control chronic pain, involving a trial period followed by permanent implantation if 50% or greater pain relief is achieved.
• Sympathetic Nerve Block (Lumbar and Stellate) Diagnostic blocks injecting medicine around sympathetic nerves in the low back or neck areas to determine if damage to the sympathetic nerve chain is the source of pain; Stellate Ganglion Block for arm/shoulder/facial pain, Lumbar Sympathetic Block for back/leg/foot pain.
• Thoracic Epidural Injection Injection of anti-inflammatory steroid medication and local anesthetic into the epidural space in the mid-back region to treat pain from nerve irritation caused by damaged discs or bony spine structures.
• Thoracic Facet Injection Injection of anti-inflammatory steroid medication and local anesthetic into the thoracic facet joint to diagnose and treat mid-back, chest, and abdominal pain caused by facet joint inflammation.
• Transforaminal Epidural Injection Selective diagnostic injection around a specific nerve root through the foraminae (openings between vertebrae) to determine if that nerve root is causing the problem and to reduce inflammation.
• Trigger Point Injection Injection of local anesthetic, with or without steroid, into trigger points (bands of tissue within muscles) to break up tight muscle tissue, often combined with an active stretching and strengthening program.
• Lumbar Epidural Injection Injection of anti-inflammatory steroid medication and local anesthetic into the epidural space to treat low back and leg pain caused by inflammation of the vertebral disc and/or nerves, typically performed in a series of three injections.

Direct peers

• Clearway Pain Solutions: Multi-state interventional pain management group offering the same procedure mix (epidural injections, nerve blocks, RFA, spinal cord stimulation) under board-certified pain physicians. Closely comparable on services, payor mix, and clinical model.
• Premier Pain & Spine: Interventional pain management group with similar focus on spine-related procedures, image-guided injections, and neuromodulation. Comparable on patient demographic (chronic pain / spine), physician-led model, and procedure set.
• Apollo Pain Management: Multi-location interventional pain practice offering comprehensive diagnostics, injections, RFA, and spinal cord stimulation. Comparable on multi-clinic model and integrated pain management approach.
• Precision Pain Care: Multi-physician interventional pain management practice offering a similar suite of image-guided procedures, medication management, and conservative therapies. Directly comparable on offering and physician-led delivery model.
• The Pain Center USA: Network of interventional pain management clinics delivering epidural injections, joint injections, nerve blocks, and RFA. Closely comparable on procedure mix and outpatient office-based delivery.
• National Spine & Pain Centers: One of the largest U.S. interventional pain management platforms with 100+ locations. Most directly comparable peer — same core services (epidural injections, RFA, spinal cord stimulation), same referral-driven GTM, and similar multidisciplinary positioning, but at vastly greater scale.

Others

• Boston Scientific Neuromodulation: Manufacturer of spinal cord stimulators and radiofrequency ablation systems used in the procedures Advanced Spine and Pain Centers performs. An adjacent ecosystem player (device supplier) rather than a competitor.
• Surgery Partners: Owner/operator of ambulatory surgery centers including pain-focused ASCs. Relevant because Advanced Spine and Pain Centers is co-located with an ASC (Executive Surgery Center of Little Rock), making Surgery Partners a potential strategic acquirer or ASC partner.

Broad incumbents

• US Anesthesia Partners (USAP): Large anesthesia and pain management platform (PE-backed by KKR/BBH) with overlapping physician base in anesthesiology and pain medicine. Comparable on physician specialty, but a much broader and larger portfolio player.

Regional players

• Texas Pain Network: Interventional pain management group serving Texas with a similar physician-led, multi-clinic model and procedure mix. Comparable on services and operations, but operates in a different geography than the Arkansas-focused subject.
