Pain Management
Our comprehensive pain management approach combines interventional techniques with multidisciplinary care to address chronic conditions. Specialists develop personalized treatment plans incorporating medication, injections, and advanced therapies like spinal cord stimulation. With over 15 pain care specialties including cancer pain and complex regional pain syndrome treatment, our board-certified team delivers lasting relief through evidence-based methodologies validated by 20 years of clinical experience.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) uses implantable devices to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. Our specialists program customized neurostimulation patterns that patients can adjust using wireless controllers. Clinical outcomes show significant pain reduction in 70-80% of qualified candidates, with many patients regaining mobility and reducing medication dependence through this FDA-approved therapy for chronic neuropathic pain.
Interventional Pain Care
Targeted injections like epidural steroids and radiofrequency ablation provide precise pain relief for specific conditions. Our physicians combine real-time imaging with specialized techniques to deliver medications directly to affected nerve structures. This approach offers faster onset and longer duration compared to oral medications, with treatments performed in outpatient settings using minimally invasive methods.
Chronic Pain Treatment
We specialize in managing persistent pain conditions through comprehensive assessments and multimodal treatment strategies. Our programs integrate medical, psychological, and physical therapies to address both physiological symptoms and quality-of-life impacts. Patients receive ongoing monitoring and treatment adjustments to maintain optimal pain control while minimizing medication risks through personalized care plans.
Cancer Pain Management
Our specialists address pain caused by cancer progression, treatments, and related complications using specialized interventions. Techniques include neurolytic blocks, intrathecal drug delivery systems, and symptom-specific protocols to manage side effects from chemotherapy and radiation. We collaborate with oncology teams to ensure comprehensive care that improves comfort and functional capacity for cancer patients.

Everyone at Advanced Pain Care South, 360, and the Round Rock surgical center has been awesome. Do your physical therapy, follow prescription protocol, get injections when needed, and make an effort to get better and they will help you. I have had 2 spinal epidurals and a partial knee replacement and feel as if they truly care about my well-being. Thanks!

I don't work for APC.so this is a real review. APC and Dr. Ximenes are by far the best pain management in Austin. I've used others that are horrible, liars and rude. I don't think you can do better and that's with 15 years experience. Dr. Ximenes is the best doc I Know. God bless these people they helped me get back my life. David M

Report
I switched to Advanced Pain Care to see Dr. Pamela Howard for narcolepsy, which is a new service they offer. My visit was great, but the follow-up to request a refill on my prescription every month was terrible. No one would respond to my messages via the patient portal, I'd have to call and confirm multiple times to get a refilled prescription, and there was quite a bit of "red tape" to get authorization forms cleared for my regular medicine.
Despite many requests to talk to the doctor or a nurse, no one ever called me back or responded to my messages, so I was stuck talking to their answering service time and time again. I will not be returning to this location and do not recommend it to narcolepsy patients.

Dr Michaud you sir are awesome! I really appreciate the care you provide me with and the way you treat me. So many Dr's i have been to downplay things and don't listen to what is going on. You have always listened and asked me, what can i do for you to make you feel better. You display concern for your patients and I really appreciate you for that. One of my favorite Doctors so far!

I've been a chronic pain patient with APC for about 14 years. The providers have been consistently great. I've been seeing Stephanie Borgstrand for several years and she's wonderful, very professional and thorough. The addition of the RX Is really nice. They are very efficient, prices are great. Had a first appt with Dr Howard who was exceptional. Did a very thorough neuro exam and answered all my questions. Great organization.

After 2 yrs of pain care from another dr, who never once controlled my pain, I went to see dr Malone at Advanced Pain Care. On my very first visit he changed the medication I had been on & helped me tremendously! I have always had good care there & am thankful for the help I receive. I have been going to APC since 2004 & am grateful I found them.

I've been coming here for years and staff and doctors are all great. Wait time is small, I came in today and I was called in less that 5 minutes. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Doctor Paterno is wonderful doctor to have.
