If you’ve lived with chronic pain, you know medication alone often falls short. Pills might provide temporary relief, but they rarely address the underlying cause and frequently come with significant risks. At Grand Rapids Pain, we believe your care should evolve just like medical science—it’s not 1999 anymore, so why treat your pain like it is?
Led by Dr. Keith Javery and Dr. Girish Juneja, two of West Michigan’s most experienced interventional pain specialists, our practice offers FDA-approved, minimally invasive treatments designed to reduce your pain at its source without relying heavily on medications, especially opioids. If you’re ready to explore safer, innovative treatments tailored specifically for your pain, schedule your appointment by calling (616) 727-0083 or requesting your visit online.
Let’s explore how today’s most effective non-opioid treatments are helping patients move forward with less pain and more confidence.
The Problem with Relying on Medication Alone
For years, managing chronic pain often meant relying heavily on medications—typically opioids, muscle relaxants, or anti-inflammatory drugs. While these medications may provide short-term symptom relief, they rarely address the root cause of pain and can carry significant long-term consequences.
Some of the most common concerns with medication-only approaches include:
- Risk of dependence and addiction, especially with long-term opioid use
- Diminishing effectiveness, requiring higher doses over time
- Widespread side effects, such as drowsiness, brain fog, constipation, and impaired quality of life
At Grand Rapids Pain, we believe you deserve better. Our approach focuses on precisely identifying the source of your pain and treating it directly, so you’re not just covering up symptoms, but actually working toward lasting relief.
Innovative, Non-Opioid Treatments Available at Grand Rapids Pain
Our practice utilizes advanced interventional procedures that provide long-lasting relief with fewer risks than traditional medication. These minimally invasive treatments include:
Neuromodulation Therapy: A Minimally Invasive Pain Solution
Neuromodulation (formerly called nerve stimulation) involves gently delivering controlled electrical impulses to nerves. These impulses disrupt pain signals, effectively reducing or eliminating pain sensations. Key benefits include:
- Tailored to you: Customizable settings for individual pain patterns.
- Minimally invasive: Usually involves a brief outpatient procedure.
- Reversible: Easily adjusted or removed based on your needs.
Neuromodulation is highly effective for conditions such as:
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
- Chronic spinal pain (neck, back, sciatica)
- Peripheral neuropathy (e.g., diabetic nerve pain)
- Post-surgical or trauma-related chronic pain
- Chronic headaches and facial pain
Minimally Invasive Spinal Treatments (MIST 2.0)
Minimally Invasive Spinal Therapeutics (MIST 2.0) directly treat painful spinal conditions without extensive surgery. Treatments include:
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Precisely targets nerve endings to relieve arthritis pain or nerve-related discomfort.
- Kyphoplasty/Vertebroplasty: Repairs spinal fractures, stabilizing vertebrae, and reducing severe back pain.
- Epidural Steroid Injections: Reduces inflammation and pain in herniated discs or spinal stenosis.
- Disc Decompression Procedures: Helps relieve painful pressure from bulging or herniated discs.
These procedures require minimal recovery time, carry fewer risks than traditional spinal surgery, and typically offer quick, noticeable relief.
Precision Nerve Blocks and Injections
Guided by advanced imaging, nerve blocks deliver medication directly to specific nerves causing your pain. Ideal for chronic conditions such as:
- Post-surgical abdominal or pelvic pain syndromes
- Cancer-related pain syndromes
- Chronic chest pain
- Joint and spinal pain
These targeted therapies provide rapid relief and help confirm the exact pain source, guiding further treatment if needed.
Physician-Led, Personalized Pain Care—No Middleman, No Delays
At Grand Rapids Pain, your care is always guided by a physician, not filtered through layers of administrators or dictated by outside systems. Dr. Keith Javery and Dr. Girish Juneja personally evaluate, design, and oversee every treatment plan, ensuring that your care is based on medical expertise, not red tape.
This “no middleman” approach offers meaningful advantages:
- Faster, smarter decisions: Your treatment progresses without unnecessary delays or external approval hurdles.
- Truly personalized care: Plans are tailored by your doctor and adjusted based on how you feel, not a preset protocol.
- Direct communication: You’ll always know who’s in charge of your care and how to reach them.
We don’t believe in corporate-style, factory medicine. We believe in thoughtful, hands-on care from specialists who know your name and your pain.
