Who is Dr. Adams, Interventional Pain Medicine Specialist in Denver, CO?
Dr. Clayton Adams is double board-certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine, with advanced fellowship training in interventional pain management. He specializes in non-surgical interventional procedures, including epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and spinal cord stimulation. He treats spine, joint and nerve pain, including facial pain and headaches.
Dr. Adams is a specialist in spinal cord stimulation and works with patients who have painful conditions like diabetic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, and chronic back, neck, leg, or arm pain to see if this treatment could alleviate their pain. He first uses a temporary, external stimulator to see if the therapy provides relief. If it does, he refers patients to a neurosurgeon to discuss moving forward with a permanent implant. Neurosurgery One’s careful candidate screening process results in 80–90% of patients experiencing significant pain reduction with spinal cord stimulation, significantly higher than the national average.
After training as an anesthesiologist, Dr. Adams chose to specialize in pain medicine because he enjoys getting to know his patients and forming long-term relationships with them. Dr. Adams understands the importance of seeing patients quickly to begin managing their pain without delay.
