Spinal Pain

Pain & Spine Specialists of San Antonio

It can be difficult to pinpoint the cause of chronic spinal pain. There are several nonsurgical treatments that can treat pain in your spine or back to consider before undergoing surgery, or in those who are not good candidates for surgery.

For many patients, understanding the source of their pain is the first step toward effective treatment. If you’re unsure whether your discomfort is muscular or spinal, our guide on muscular vs. spinal back pain can help you identify key differences and potential causes.

Supporting Your Spine Health

Proper nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining spinal strength and function. Essential vitamins and minerals like calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium contribute to bone health, while omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation. If you’re looking for ways to support your spine naturally, explore our guide to spine-healthy vitamins for Dr. Smith’s expert recommendations.

Advanced Pain Relief Solutions

When conservative treatments aren’t enough, advanced interventions like Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) may offer relief for chronic pain sufferers. This innovative therapy helps block pain signals before they reach the brain, providing long-term pain management without the need for excessive medication. Learn more about how Spinal Cord Stimulation works and whether it could be an option for you.

Dear Painsmith Patients

Re: Important Notice: Closure of The Painsmith, PLLC and Transfer of Your Medical Records

On August 3rd, 2026, I sent out notices that I would unfortunately be unable to continue practicing at Painsmith to the same high standard that my patients deserve. I also indicated that we were talking with other local pain management physicians regarding who would be best able to serve my patients moving forward. I have been able to locate another local practice that I feel meets or exceeds the level of care and has the capacity to take on additional patients. My top priority remains making sure your care continues without interruption.

To that end, I have arranged for ReleviiMed, led by Dr. Manuel Ybarra, M.D. and a team of providers, to serve as the custodian of medical records for our patients going forward, and I strongly recommend you reach out to ReleviiMed to continue your care. Their physicians have reviewed our practice’s treatment approach and are prepared to take on our patients, including those with ongoing pain management plans, without a gap in care.
