When Conservative Treatment Isn't Enough
For patients with chronic, complex, or treatment-resistant pain, advanced surgical and neuromodulation options may be indicated. Spinal cord stimulators, pain pumps, and minimally invasive spine procedures can provide relief when conservative and interventional approaches have reached their limit.
Conditions We Treat
Chronic neuropathic or back pain
Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS)
Post-surgical pain syndromes
Compression fractures and spinal instability
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
Procedures We Offer
Minimally invasive discectomy
Spinal cord stimulator trial and permanent implant
A small device implanted near the spinal cord delivers mild electrical impulses that interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. Patients undergo a temporary trial period before permanent implantation to confirm effectiveness.

Intrathecal pain pump implantation
The procedures described on this page — including spinal cord stimulation, intrathecal pain pumps, and minimally invasive spine surgery — represent the most advanced level of care within Frontier's treatment continuum. These interventions are not first-line treatments. They are considered only after conservative and interventional therapies have been thoroughly pursued and have not provided adequate relief. The decision to proceed with any surgical or implantable device is made collaboratively between the patient and their provider, based on clinical findings, documented treatment history, and the individual patient's goals.
Why Frontier Pain Relief
When Advanced Intervention Is the Right Step
Surgical and neuromodulation procedures are never the first option — they are the right option after conservative and interventional treatments have been fully explored. Patients who reach this level of care have already been evaluated, treated, and tracked through every preceding tier. That means better candidate selection, better outcomes, and better long-term management.
