Premier Pain & Spine Center, PLLC

What Premier Pain & Spine Center, PLLC does

Premier Pain & Spine Center, PLLC is a private, single-specialty interventional pain management practice founded in 2019 and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, operating across three clinic locations in the Nashville and Brentwood metro area. The practice is physician-led by Dr. Alex Schmidt, a board-certified physiatrist (Vanderbilt Chief Resident; Montefiore Chief Fellow in Pain Management), supported by a team of approximately six advanced practice providers (NPs and PAs) and administrative staff.

The clinical offering spans a broad interventional pain and spine procedure portfolio — cervical and lumbar epidural steroid injections, cervical and lumbar radiofrequency ablations, spinal cord stimulation (with trial-to-permanent pathway), dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation, kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty, sacroiliac and major joint injections, occipital and sympathetic nerve blocks, intrathecal pump management, and Botox for migraines and spasticity. Patient access is delivered through in-office visits at hospital-affiliated locations (Skyline, Centennial, Brentwood Medical Centers), telehealth video appointments, and an eClinicalWorks-hosted patient portal.

Revenue is generated primarily through insurance-based billing across a broad payer mix (Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, Medicare, United Healthcare) plus patient self-pay co-pays and deductibles, with patient acquisition driven by a structured physician referral network and direct appointment requests via the practice website. The Brentwood location has expanded into rheumatology services (including same-day treatment) since 2024, marking the first cross-vertical extension beyond core pain management.

Products and services

• Spinal Cord Stimulation Therapy Interventional neuromodulation procedure that delivers electrical pulses to the epidural space to relieve chronic neuropathic pain in the back, arms, and legs for patients not responding to conservative treatments.
• DRG Stimulation Targets dorsal root ganglia with electrical pulses to treat chronic pain in the trunk or legs, potentially reducing reliance on pain medications for patients with focal neuropathic pain.
• Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections Minimally invasive, fluoroscopy-guided injection procedure that delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to inflamed lumbar nerve roots to relieve lower back and radicular pain in the lower extremities.
• Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections Non-surgical outpatient injection procedure using steroid-anesthetic medication to reduce swelling and inflammation of irritated cervical spinal nerves and relieve chronic cervical spine pain.
• Cervical Facet Radiofrequency Ablations Diagnostic cervical medial branch blocks followed by radiofrequency ablation of medial branch nerves to treat chronic neck, upper back, shoulder, and headache pain arising from cervical facet joints.
• Lumbar Facet Radiofrequency Ablations Diagnostic lumbar medial branch blocks followed by radiofrequency ablation of medial branch nerves to treat chronic low back and buttock pain arising from lumbar facet joints.
• Kyphoplasty & Vertebroplasty Minimally invasive procedures that repair vertebral compression fractures and restore the spine's natural shape, providing pain relief and structural stabilization.
• Sacroiliac Joint Injections Steroid injection into the sacroiliac joint to relieve pain from arthritis where the spine and hip bone meet by reducing swelling and inflammation.
• Joint Injections (Hip, Knee, Shoulder) Intra-articular steroid and gel injections for pain and inflammation in the hip, knee, and shoulder joints, including cortisone injections and genicular nerve radiofrequency ablations.
• Botox for Migraines BOTOX injections administered to specific head and neck areas to prevent migraines in patients experiencing 15 or more headache days per month.
• Botox for Spasticity BOTOX injections into affected muscles of the head, neck, or limbs to relieve spasticity by blocking nerve signals responsible for involuntary muscle contraction.
• Occipital Nerve Block Shallow scalp injections using numbing or anti-inflammatory medication to diagnose or treat pain stemming from the greater and lower occipital nerves.
• Nerve Block Procedures Nerve block procedures including intercostal nerve blocks for chest and upper abdominal pain, hypogastric plexus blocks for pelvic pain, celiac plexus blocks for upper abdominal pain, and lumbar sympathetic blocks for leg pain.
• Intrathecal Pump Management Implantation and management of an intrathecal pump that delivers pain medication directly into the intrathecal space surrounding the spinal cord, enabling lower medication doses with reduced side effects.

• Austin Pain & Spine Physicians: Independent multi-physician pain management practice offering interventional spine procedures, joint injections, and neuromodulation with an insurance-based revenue model similar to Premier's.

Others

• Boston Scientific Neuromodulation: Manufacturer of spinal cord stimulator and DRG stimulation devices used in procedures Premier delivers. Relevant as an enabling technology/device partner rather than a direct competitor for patient services.
• Medtronic Pain Therapies: Major manufacturer of spinal cord stimulators, intrathecal pumps, and other neuromodulation devices central to Premier's procedure mix. Ecosystem enabler rather than direct competitor.

Regional players

• Nashville Pain Center: Local Nashville competitor providing interventional pain management services for chronic neck, back, and joint pain with a similar referral-driven, insurance-billed model.
• Spine & Pain Institute of Tennessee: Tennessee-based interventional pain practice with overlapping services (epidural injections, RFA, spinal cord stimulation) and a strong local referral base within the same metro as Premier Pain & Spine.

Broad incumbents

• HCA Healthcare (TriStar Skyline / TriStar Centennial): Large national hospital system that operates two of the medical-center campuses where Premier Pain & Spine leases clinic space (Skyline and Centennial in Nashville). Overlaps as a broad healthcare provider and as the landlord/affiliation partner for Premier's practice.
