Leading the way in interventional pain management.

The interval for mental, physical and spiritual rejuvenation has officially ended as summer turns into fall. As usual, my colleagues and I begin another academic year with an energy and enthusiasm that should only follow a prolonged period of respite. Yet, this year is different. My focus is more precise than ever and my drive is turbo-charged. In my view, much remains to be accomplished as it seems we have only witnessed the nascence and early development of the science of interventional spine and pain management. This perspective is in part energizing, but my experiences these past three months are the real fuel. I shall share some thoughts about those experiences that I believe will infuse each of you with some of that energy.
