MANAGING PAIN WITH FULL SPECTRUM SOLUTIONS

INDIVIDUAL AND PERSONALIZED TREATMENTS FOCUS ON PATIENTS’ QUALITY OF LIFE

Those who have avoided seeking medical treatment for their chronic pain might be surprised to learn that NEXus Pain Center has specialized solutions that don’t often start with a new prescription for medication.

“That’s quite the opposite of what we do as a group. We want pain medication to be about the last strategy that we have to enact,” said Tyler Snow, COO of NEXus. “That’s why we offer such a wide variety of services.”

While the facility does treat some patients with effective pain medications, that solution is just one of many tools NEXus uses to help people treat and manage their chronic pain. When stronger medication is warranted, NEXus providers adhere to safety and compliance standards and provide further testing when needed to help ensure patient well-being.

far beyond just controlled substances and opioids.”

For chronic neck and back pain, sciatica, neuropathy, arthritis, joint issues, and nearly any other kind of bodily pain, NEXus’ five clinics and two surgery centers are conveniently located in Columbus and neighboring communities. To help treat a multitude of pain generators, NEXus providers are skillfully trained in numerous procedures that include spinal cord stimulation, nerve ablations, and stenosis treatment, to name a few.

Help Patients LIVE MORE Fulfilling Lives

“So many people assume that we should be the last step in their healthcare process,” said Dr. Takia Oglesby, a longtime physician in the community who has worked with NEXus for greater than a decade. “We work hard to provide a multi-modal approach. That care model goes

“We are an intervention-based practice, so we do everything we can to treat the pain at its root cause and offer a wide variety of procedures that are non-invasive,” said Dr. Jeffrey Prinsell, a Columbus Top Doctor as voted on by the community. “We want to be that one-stop shop for our patients. If there’s pain, we typically have some type of solution for it.”

The providers’ approach is characterized by a highly individualized series of different treatments that begins with the least invasive methods and gradually working towards the most effective solution. They see each patient as an individual and never employ a one-size-fits-all

strategy. And the facility’s services are as convenient as they are personalized.

“As an internal metric, what we try to do is have a patient checked into our office, go through our onboarding process, see our provider, and be checked out of the building within 60 minutes,” said Dr. Sung Chang, NEXus’ Founder and senior physician.

The main focus of NEXus is on improving its patients’ quality of life beyond the clinic. The most rewarding aspect of this work, the team reported, is helping restore the joy and hope in each patient’s life.

“We’ve been able to help a good number of these patients get back to a highfunctioning quality of life,” said Dr. Angela Strother, one of NEXus’ skilled physicians. “They’ll come back in and talk about they’re able to spend more time with their grandkids or do things such as hobbies or activities they couldn’t do beforehand.”

In those rare cases where NEXus’ offerings are simply not ideal for a patient’s particular situation, its providers can easily provide a quality referral. The facility’s partnership with the surrounding hospitals and numerous medical groups means it has endless community connections to help ensure patient’s needs are met.

Chronic pain, like any other medical issue, can be managed and mitigated with the proper treatment. NEXus Pain Center has the expertise, equipment, and drive to work towards an effective treatment plan to help one live a life with less discomfort.
