Where Pain ends. Life begins again.
Advanced, whole-person pain care — interventional, regenerative, and opioid-free — led by one of the most pioneering physicians in the field.
First U.S. pain physician to work with the World Health Organization’s Department of Substance Abuse
Warned of the OxyContin epidemic more than a decade before the CDC
Developer of pioneering, world-first interventional pain procedures
America’s first & longest-running surgery-center-based ketamine program
We treat the whole person — and the root of the problem.
National Pain Centers is an interventional pain practice, and so much more: multi-disciplinary, multi-modal, and built on a simple conviction — find the true cause, treat it, and rehabilitate it, rather than mask it.
Knowledge
We draw on the whole timeline of medicine — from healing traditions thousands of years old to today’s most advanced science — and the vision to build what’s next.
Skill
Precision you can feel: physician-performed procedures, low-dose imaging, non-opioid sedation, and tissue-sparing technique. We reserve the aggressive, irreversible options as a true last resort.
Integrity
Opioid-free by conviction and independent by design — accountable to one thing, your outcome, not to a corporate owner’s quotas.
Not a bigger version of the practice down the street. A different one.
Anyone can call themselves a pain specialist. Almost no one can back it up all the way down. Each standard below narrows the field — together, they leave one.
Board Certified — a floor not every provider clears.
Anesthesiology-Trained — the root of neuraxial precision, safety, and sedation.
Accredited Fellowship Trained — not a weekend certificate.
A Published Innovator — world-first techniques and a landmark theory.
Opioid-Free by Conviction — he predicted the epidemic before it began.
Independent — accountable to you, not a corporation.
Nearly four out of five U.S. physicians now answer to a hospital, insurer, or private-equity owner. Only about one in five remains independent. Dr. Joshi is one of them.
A blood test for how you move.
Our Virtual MSK Movement Assessment is the first fully remote, wearable-free musculoskeletal exam of its kind — turning how your body actually moves into objective data, giving you a baseline, and tracking real improvement over time.

You’ll see our team even more than you’ll see Dr. Joshi — so we chose every one of them to the same standard. Together, they bring more than 100 years of combined experience across many fields of medicine.
Board-certified, anesthesiology-trained, accredited-fellowship-trained — and one of the only interventional pain physicians to have studied Ayurvedic medicine, drawing on its whole-person philosophy. He built this practice, and hand-selected this team, around a single idea: category-of-one care, obsessively pursued, at every level.
