PAIN MANAGEMENT DOCTORS
What is Pain Management?
Pain management is a dedicated specialty focused on silencing nerve pain, restoring function, and helping you reclaim the activities you love. Acute pain—your body’s alarm bell after an injury—usually fades as you heal. Chronic pain, however, can linger for months or years, disrupting sleep, mood, and daily life.
At MVPC, our interventional pain experts use precision-guided nerve blocks and minimally invasive injections to interrupt pain signals at their source. From the moment you ask, “What happens at my first pain management appointment?” through every follow-up, we partner with you—providing education, coaching, and the personalized roadmap you need for lasting relief. At MVPC, our compassionate specialists across Colorado and Arizona are here to guide you toward a more comfortable, active life. Book today! Injured in a car accident?

Learn More About Your Care
If you want to understand a treatment before you book it, these guides explain the most common paths our pain physicians take. Learn what a physiatrist is and how one differs from a surgeon, read how joint injections work and who they suit, or see when an MRI for back pain actually changes a treatment plan.
For specific conditions, we cover pelvic pain, and compare herniated disc injections against surgery so you can weigh both before deciding.

What a Pain Management Doctor Actually Does
The job is diagnosis before treatment. A pain specialist is not a prescriber of last resort — the work is identifying which structure is generating your pain, then treating that structure directly. Low back pain coming from a facet joint is not treated the same way as low back pain coming from a disc or from the sacroiliac joint, and the examination is what separates them. Treating all three the same way is the single most common reason pain fails to resolve.
Our interventional physicians are double board-certified and fellowship-trained. Shaun Gabriel, MD, our Medical Director, and Matthew Gray, MD lead care across both states, working with physician assistants and nurse practitioners at each clinic. Meet them on the Colorado providers page and the Arizona providers page.
Treatments We Offer
Care runs from conservative through interventional as the findings warrant, and it is opioid-sparing by design. Physical therapy and chiropractic come first for most people. When imaging and examination point to a specific pain generator, options include epidural steroid injection, facet and medial branch blocks, nerve blocks, joint injections, radiofrequency ablation, trigger point injections and spinal cord stimulation for refractory cases.
Conditions We Treat
Lower back pain, upper back pain, neck pain, sciatica and nerve pain, herniated disc, spinal stenosis, facet joint syndrome, sacroiliac joint pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, arthritis, headaches and migraines, peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel, CRPS, pain after spine surgery, and whiplash and car accident injuries.
What Happens at Your First Appointment
You will spend most of the first visit being examined rather than being treated. We take a history, test movement and neurological function, review any imaging you already have, and order more only when the exam calls for it. You leave with a diagnosis and a plan, not a prescription and a follow-up. If the right next step is therapy or an adjustment rather than an injection, that is what we will say — and it happens in the same building, usually the same week.
Most plans do not require a referral. We verify your benefits before the visit so you know the cost before you sit down. See what to bring to your first appointment and our accepted insurance plans.
