Michigan Pain Specialists

What Michigan Pain Specialists does

Michigan Pain Specialists is a physician-owned interventional pain management practice founded in 2003, operating two clinic locations in Ann Arbor, MI and Adrian, MI. The practice specializes in technologically advanced, minimally invasive procedures for difficult-to-treat chronic and acute pain conditions, serving patients across a wide geographic catchment area of Michigan. Its clinical team consists of three board-certified interventional pain physicians — Dr. Louis Bojrab, Dr. John Chatas, and Dr. Edward Washabaugh (a founding member with 25 years of experience) — all holding FIPP (Fellowship in Interventional Pain Practice) certification, supported by three physician assistants.

The practice offers a comprehensive procedural portfolio spanning injection therapies (epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, sacroiliac joint injections), neuromodulation (spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation via Sprint and Nalu systems), radiofrequency ablation techniques (rhizotomy, genicular RFA, hip RFA), and regenerative treatments (PRP therapy). Advanced surgical offerings include SI-BONE fusion, kyphoplasty for vertebral compression fractures, and minimally invasive decompression procedures (Vertiflex, KeyLift, MILD, endoscopic techniques such as decompression, discectomy, and RFA). Procedures are performed using advanced imaging guidance including fluoroscopy and ultrasound for precise needle and catheter placement. The condition coverage spans diabetic neuropathy, cancer pain, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), cervical and lumbar radiculopathy, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, facet joint syndrome, and coccydynia.

Michigan Pain Specialists generates revenue through insurance and Medicare billing for medical procedures performed in-clinic, operating on a professional-services fee model. Patient acquisition combines direct-to-consumer digital channels (website with online appointment scheduling, chatbot, text messaging, Facebook, Instagram, email newsletter, recorded educational webinars) with likely physician referrals from primary care and other specialists. The practice maintains no disclosed external investment, parent company, or institutional ownership, and operates as a private, independent medical practice. No publicly disclosed pricing, financial statements, or partnership agreements are available.

Products and services

• Spinal Cord Stimulation Advanced neuromodulation therapy that uses implanted electrodes to deliver electrical signals to the spinal cord, interrupting pain signals before they reach the brain. For patients with chronic pain conditions of the spine.
• Intracept Procedure Minimally invasive basivertebral nerve ablation treatment for chronic low back pain that uses radiofrequency energy to target and disable the nerve inside the vertebra. For patients with chronic vertebrogenic low back pain.
• Epidural Steroid Injections Minimally invasive injection therapy that delivers corticosteroid medication directly to the epidural space of the spine to reduce inflammation and relieve pain caused by nerve irritation or disc herniation. Includes cervical, thoracic, lumbar, caudal, and transforaminal injections.
• Sacroiliac Joint Pain Treatment Comprehensive treatment for sacroiliac joint dysfunction including diagnostic injections and SI joint fusion surgery to stabilize the joint and reduce lower back and pelvic pain.
• Rhizotomy Ablations of the Spine Radiofrequency ablation procedure that heats and disables specific nerve branches (medial branch nerves) to provide longer-lasting pain relief for facet joint arthritis.
• Genicular Nerve Block Minimally invasive procedure targeting genicular nerves around the knee joint using localized anesthetic and corticosteroid injections to interrupt pain signals and reduce inflammation.
• Facet Joint Injections Diagnostic and therapeutic injections combining local anesthetic and corticosteroid delivered directly into inflamed facet joints to reduce inflammation and relieve spinal pain.
• Medial Branch Blocks Diagnostic injections that temporarily numb the medial branch nerves supplying the facet joints to identify the source of back or neck pain.
• Kyphoplasty Minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a balloon to create space in a compressed vertebra before injecting bone cement to treat vertebral compression fractures.
• Botox for Migraines OnabotulinumtoxinA injections administered at specific points around the head and neck to prevent chronic migraine headaches in qualified patients.
• Radiofrequency Ablation Minimally invasive procedure using heat generated by radiofrequency waves to target and destroy nerve tissue responsible for transmitting chronic pain signals.
• Vertiflex Procedure Minimally invasive lumbar interspinous process decompression using an implant to relieve pressure on spinal nerves caused by lumbar spinal stenosis.
• KeyLift Procedure Minimally invasive outpatient fusion that locks spinous processes of two vertebrae together to create stability and vertical expansion, improving space for spinal canal nerves.
• Stellate Ganglion Block Injection of local anesthetic into the stellate ganglion nerve cluster in the neck to treat sympathetically maintained pain conditions.
• Sprint PNS Stimulator Therapy Peripheral nerve stimulation therapy using a temporary wire electrode to provide pain relief by stimulating specific peripheral nerves.
• RACZ Procedure Epidural neuroplasty procedure that uses a special catheter to deliver medication and adhesiolysis for treating epidural adhesions and scar tissue causing pain.
• PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy Regenerative medicine treatment using concentrated platelets from the patient's own blood to promote natural healing of damaged tissues.
• Hip Joint Injection Diagnostic and therapeutic injection of anesthetic and corticosteroid directly into the hip joint to reduce inflammation and relieve hip pain.

• SI-BONE Fusion Surgery Minimally invasive surgical fusion of the sacroiliac joint using specialized implants to stabilize the joint and eliminate SI joint pain.
• Intrathecal Pain Pump Implantable drug delivery system that continuously infuses pain medication directly into the intrathecal space of the spine for managing severe chronic pain.
• Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD) Minimally invasive procedure to remove excess ligament tissue compressing spinal nerves in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
• Cancer Pain Management Comprehensive pain management services for cancer patients including nerve blocks, spinal procedures, and opioid alternatives.
