Comprehensive Pain Management

What Comprehensive Pain Management does

Comprehensive Pain Management is a physician-owned pain management practice founded in 2007 by Dr. Do Chan, MD, MBA and Dr. Boris Shwartzman, MD, both double board-certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine. The practice operates four clinical locations across Massachusetts (Attleboro, Franklin) and Rhode Island (South Kingstown, Warwick), serving individual patients suffering from chronic and acute pain conditions including lower back pain, spinal stenosis, compression fractures, herniated discs, osteoarthritis, and nerve pain. The practice is anchored by a clinical affiliation with Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, where Dr. Shwartzman serves as staff anesthesiologist and Dr. Chan as medical director of the pain clinic.

The practice delivers care through a multidisciplinary model combining interventional procedures with responsible medication management. The interventional portfolio includes radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, kyphoplasty, the mild Procedure (minimally invasive lumbar decompression), the Intracept Procedure (intraosseous nerve ablation via Relievant Medsystems), Lumbar Micro-Endoscopic Discectomy, Disc-FX, and Boston Scientific's Osteocool bone tumour ablation. Medication management includes opioid stewardship with urine drug testing and Suboxone treatment for substance abuse, supported by an in-house psychologist. The practice also offers weight management as part of a holistic approach to pain and inflammation.

Comprehensive Pain Management generates revenue through patient consultations, interventional procedures, and medication management services billed through insurance. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via phone and online appointment booking, supplemented by a physician referral network across Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Marketing channels include a content blog (active 2019-2023), patient testimonials and video testimonials, local press coverage, and organic social sharing. The practice operates under three DBA names — Comprehensive Pain Management, South County Pain, and Franklin Pain and Wellness Center — reflecting its multi-location brand architecture.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Relievant MedsystemscoreTechnology or Integration · 1 January 2019Relievant Medsystems is the developer of the Intracept Procedure, an FDA-cleared intraosseous nerve ablation platform for chronic lower back pain. Comprehensive Pain Management was one of the first practices in New England to offer this procedure, with Dr. Do Chan being the first to perform the procedure in New England. The partnership provides patients access to this innovative basivertebral nerve ablation technology.
• MedtroniccoreTechnology or IntegrationMedtronic, inventor of the pacemaker, developed Interstim therapy for overactive bladder syndrome. The practice performs Interstim trial procedures allowing patients to test the stimulator for 5-7 days before deciding on permanent implantation. Partnership provides technology for bladder control treatment as part of comprehensive pain management services.
• Boston ScientificcoreTechnology or IntegrationBoston Scientific is a medical device company providing ablation solutions including cryoablation technology. Comprehensive Pain Management offers the Bone Tumour Ablation Service using Boston Scientific technology to help reduce pain from bone tumors. Dr. Do Chan has the skill and experience to leverage this technology for patients in their service areas.
• Sturdy Memorial HospitalcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerSturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, MA is where both Dr. Shwartzman and Dr. Chan maintain positions. Dr. Shwartzman has been a staff anesthesiologist at Sturdy Memorial since 1996. Dr. Chan has served as medical director of the pain clinic at Sturdy Memorial since 2006. The practice is closely associated with the hospital for procedural and patient care purposes.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Relievant Medsystems: Developer of the Intracept intraosseous nerve ablation system that CPM was an early adopter of in New England. Strategic technology partner whose commercial expansion directly drives CPM's procedural volume and differentiation.
• Boston Scientific Neuromodulation: Medical device manufacturer whose Osteocool ablation technology CPM uses. Included as an ecosystem peer because CPM's procedure offering and differentiation depend on Boston Scientific's platform investments and roadmap.

Broad incumbents

• Tufts Medical Center Pain Medicine: Academic hospital-based pain medicine service in Boston where Dr. Desillier trained and Dr. Chan completed his pain fellowship. Comparable as a specialty pain provider offering interventional procedures, but embedded within a large academic health system.
• National Spine & Pain Centers: Large, PE-backed interventional pain management platform operating numerous clinics across the U.S. Comparable because it offers the same mix of interventional pain procedures (spinal cord stimulation, radiofrequency ablation, kyphoplasty, Intracept) to chronic pain patients, but at national scale vs. CPM's regional footprint.

Direct peers

• Advanced Pain Management (APM): Multi-location pain management group offering interventional procedures, medication management, and chronic pain services. Directly comparable in business model (physician-owned practice, multiple sites, similar procedure mix) though operating in different U.S. regions.
• Spine & Pain Institute of New England: Multi-physician interventional pain practice serving New England with a similar portfolio of advanced procedures (spinal cord stimulation, kyphoplasty, Intracept, radiofrequency ablation). Most directly comparable as a same-region competitor targeting the same MA/RI patient population.
• Center for Pain Management (Bay State/Massachusetts): Regional Massachusetts pain management clinics offering interventional procedures, medication management, and multidisciplinary care. Comparable in scope, geography, and patient demographic to Comprehensive Pain Management.

Regional players

• Sturdy Memorial Hospital Pain Clinic: Hospital-affiliated pain clinic in Attleboro, MA where Dr. Chan and Dr. Shwartzman hold leadership positions. Adjacent peer sharing staff and patient flow; comparable as a hospital-anchored pain service in CPM's home market.
