Interventional pain practice with four California offices, including Bakersfield, offering spinal procedures alongside platelet-rich plasma and cell-based injections.
Pacific Pain Physicians is an interventional pain management practice with four offices in California - Bakersfield, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Atascadero. The bulk of its work is procedural pain medicine: targeted injections and nerve treatments aimed at the spine and joints, generally performed with imaging guidance.
Listed procedures include facet joint injections into the small joints of the spine, transforaminal epidural steroid injections, radiofrequency ablation (also called rhizotomy, which uses heat to interrupt pain-carrying nerves), the Intracept procedure for vertebral back pain, minimally invasive lumbar decompression and peripheral nerve stimulation. Alongside these, the practice's regenerative medicine material describes platelet-rich plasma injections and cell-based (stem cell) injections presented as alternatives to repeated steroid injections or surgery.
The educational page consulted discusses several categories of cell source in general terms, including bone marrow, umbilical cord and placental tissue. It does not make clear which of these the practice itself actually uses, and no physician is named on that page. If you are considering treatment here, ask which specific product would be used in your case, where it comes from, and what evidence supports it for your diagnosis.
The published condition list is broad. Ask the practice what published evidence supports cell-based or platelet treatment for your particular diagnosis, as opposed to their conventional injection procedures.
The page discusses cell types in general educational terms rather than confirming exactly which product the practice administers.
No physician is named with credentials on the page consulted.
The practice states four California locations: Bakersfield, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Atascadero. The page consulted does not give a street address, opening hours, founding year, languages spoken or any service aimed at patients travelling from abroad.
No prices are published. The site does not state a consultation fee or the cost of platelet-rich plasma or cell-based injections, so ask the office directly - and ask specifically which parts, if any, insurance would cover.
