Understanding Interventional Pain Medicine
Interventional pain medicine is a branch of pain management that targets treating pain at its source with image-guided procedures rather than masking symptoms with long-term medications. At our Missoula Interventional Pain Medicine Clinic, we believe lasting relief shouldn’t mean endless pills, frustrating side effects, avoidable surgeries, or long recoveries. Our patient-centered approach to pain management concentrates on treating pain at its source with advanced, image-guided procedures.
Traditional pain care often starts with systemic pain pills or open surgery, leading to long rehabilitation windows that don’t always zero in on the true source of discomfort. We take a different route:
The result is faster relief, fewer systemic side effects, and a treatment plan built around your life—giving you a quicker return to the Montana lifestyle you love.
Conditions We Treat
Our physicians specialize in diagnosing and managing a wide range of spine and musculoskeletal disorders. This includes common issues like low-back and neck pain, sciatica and herniated discs, facet joint arthritis, and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. We also treat joint conditions such as shoulder, hip, and knee osteoarthritis, as well as complex issues like peripheral neuropathy, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), and post-surgical or post-traumatic pain.
If you’re unsure what’s causing your discomfort, we’ll begin with a comprehensive evaluation, advanced imaging review, and functional testing to pinpoint the underlying issue.

Our experienced team is innovative & compassionate about patient care
“Dr. Shurtz is one of the best medical professionals we have ever worked with. We like everything about him and his practice. He is not only extremely knowledgeable in his field, but also compassionate with his patients and he communicates in a down-to-earth and easy to understand manner. When we moved to Missoula a few years ago, we were nervous about finding a good fit for our medical needs. We were thrilled to find someone who could deliver what we needed, is kind, and is in town!”
