Healthcare Leader Grows its Network with Twelve New Locations
FREDERICK, Md. and DALLAS, May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- National Spine and Pain Centers, the nation's leading network of minimally invasive spine and pain physicians, today announced the addition of Texas-based Dallas Pain Consultants (DPC) to its rapidly growing footprint. The move increases NSPC's presence to 18 locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and results in a network of more than 130 locations in 13 states, which will facilitate 1.2 million patient visits this year.
Studies estimate that 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain – more than the number affected by heart disease, diabetes, and cancer combined. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chronic pain, has been linked to limitations on physical activity, dependence on opioids, anxiety and depression, and reduced quality of life. "By increasing the number of highly-trained musculoskeletal physicians in our network, we are effectively doubling down on our mission to end needless human pain and suffering by facilitating world-class care," says NSPC's Chief Executive Officer, Douglas Wisor, MD.
Under the leadership of Drs. Trevor Kraus and Darren Schuhmacher, DPC's five board-certified physicians and two advanced practice providers have treated patients with a variety of painful conditions through a full-spectrum of pain relief services. "By affiliating with NSPC, our physicians will now have first-hand access to leading researchers, training on innovative treatments, and also enjoy world-class back-office support," said, Dr. Kraus. "That means, we will have the ability to provide more great care to more people in the state of Texas," added Dr. Schuhmacher.
"The addition of DPC and its world-class providers to the NSPC network will not only expand our footprint, it will also result in greater collaboration among physicians who specialize in minimally invasive spine and pain procedures," says NSPC's President, Douglas Badertscher. What's more, I know that the entire team at Dallas Pain Consultants shares our passion for helping those who suffer with chronic pain, which is an important part of why this new relationship is such a win-win scenario," continued Badertscher.
