Pain Management Physician Business Cards for Interventional Pain Practice

Pain management physicians are the specialist physicians — most commonly anesthesiologists, physiatrists, or neurologists who have completed fellowship training in pain medicine — who diagnose and treat chronic pain conditions using a combination of interventional procedures, neuromodulation technologies, and multimodal pharmacological management. Pain medicine is one of the most procedure-intensive non-surgical specialties.

What Pain Management Physician Cards Must Include

Your Credentials

• MD or DO — medical degree
• Pain Management Physician / Interventional Pain Specialist / Pain Medicine Specialist
• Board Certified in Pain Medicine — ABPM (American Board of Pain Medicine) — open to multiple base specialties
• Board Certified in Anesthesiology with subspecialty in Pain Medicine — ABA (American Board of Anesthesiology) — the most common path; requires anesthesiology board + pain fellowship
• Board Certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) with Pain Medicine — ABPMR
• Board Certified in Neurology with Pain Medicine — ABPN
• FIPP (Fellow, Interventional Pain Practice) — WSIPP — international credentialing for interventional procedures
• ABIPP (American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians)
• ASIPP member (American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians)
• APS member (American Pain Society)
• State medical license and DEA registration (required for opioid prescribing)

Your Procedural Capabilities

Pain management is intensely procedure-driven. List your procedures:

Spine injections:

• Epidural steroid injections (ESI) — interlaminar, transforaminal, caudal
• Selective nerve root blocks (SNRB)
• Medial branch blocks (MBB) — diagnostic for facet-mediated pain
• Facet joint injections
• SI joint injections

Neuromodulation:

• Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) — trial and permanent implant; companies: Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, Nevro
• Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS)
• Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRG)
• High-frequency SCS (HF-10)
• Burst DR stimulation

Ablation:

• Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) — lumbar, cervical, SI joint, knee
• Cooled RFA
• IDET (intradiscal electrothermal therapy)

Other interventional:

• Sympathetic nerve blocks — stellate ganglion, celiac plexus, lumbar sympathetic
• Trigger point injections
• BOTOX for chronic migraine (some pain physicians)
• Kyphoplasty / vertebroplasty (some)
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
• Intrathecal pump implantation — drug delivery systems

Your Clinical Conditions

• Chronic low back pain
• Herniated disc / radiculopathy
• Spinal stenosis
• Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS)
• CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome)
• Neuropathic pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Cancer pain
• Headache (not primary neurology)
• Joint and musculoskeletal pain
