Pain management clinics in the Valley have moved beyond treating patients with two aspirins and a phone call.
“I believe that the name ‘pain management’ has led to a misunderstanding of my specialty,” says Dr. James KellerShabrokh of Comprehensive Pain Management. “Most people associate medications with pain management and often steer clear of even an initial consultation at a pain management office for fear of the prescription of narcotics and/or additional medications.”
At Comprehensive Pain Management (azcpm.com) in North Phoenix, Tempe, Avondale, Peoria and Prescott, KellerShabrokh and his team focus on achieving lasting relief. The clinic treats patients holistically, encouraging exercise, physical therapy and/or chiropractic treatment to address the underlying causes of pain and enhance overall well-being.
Doctors are embracing next-generation treatments to deliver faster results and more tailored care. These innovative options are designed for lasting relief.
The Discseel Procedure
Brian suffered from debilitating back pain for more than a decade. His pain was so intense that he could only play with his children for a few minutes at a time.
“I would make decisions not to go out because I was miserable,” he says. “It was constant pain all day, every day.”
Brian reached out to Dr. Michael Wolff at Southwest Spine & Sports in Scottsdale. He recommended the DISCSEEL Procedure, a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for damaged spinal discs. Unlike surgical options like spinal fusion, which may reduce mobility, the DISCSEEL Procedure aims to preserve natural disc function by promoting repair.
The doctor injects a specialized fibrin sealant into damaged discs to promote natural healing and regeneration. As an outpatient procedure, it takes less than an hour with local anesthesia and light sedation. Patients typically resume light activity within a few days and notice a reduction in pain in one to two weeks.
“I didn’t believe it would work for me,” Brian says. “The difference was drastic. It changed my life.”

The MLS M6 Laser
The arthritis in Emily’s knees was so bad that it made it difficult for her to go out for daily walks. Then her doctor told her about the MLS M6 laser. This pain management technology uses two synchronized lasers on a robotic head to penetrate tissues, reduce inflammation and relieve pain. The laser stimulates cell activity and increases blood flow for natural healing.
This hands-free procedure isn’t just for arthritis. The MLS M6 laser can also be used to treat back pain and sports injuries, offering a non-invasive, drug-free and side-effect-free alternative to traditional pain treatments.
“I went from barely being able to walk to enjoying my daily walks again,” Emily says. “It’s been life-changing!”
