What Sets Physician Partners of America Apart in Pain Management

Leading with innovation, compassion, and a patient-first philosophy

At Physician Partners of America (PPOA), pain management is more than a specialty — it’s our purpose. Since our founding in 2013, we’ve been dedicated to transforming how pain care is delivered by empowering physicians and prioritizing what matters most: the patient.

Our mission is simple but powerful — to help people live fuller, more active lives, free from the limitations of pain. We achieve this through a unique model that combines medical innovation, compassionate care, and a deep commitment to long-term healing.

A Physician-Led, Patient-First Model

PPOA was created by physicians who believed healthcare could be better. They saw firsthand how administrative tasks, insurance complexities, and operational burdens often pulled doctors away from what they were trained to do — care for patients.

That’s why we built a model where physicians are free to focus solely on clinical excellence, while our operational experts handle the business side. The result is a stronger doctor-patient relationship, greater efficiency, and better outcomes.

Our physician-led structure means every treatment plan is guided by experience, empathy, and evidence — not corporate mandates. From the first consultation to follow-up care, you’ll feel the difference that personalized attention makes.

Innovation That Drives Results

What truly sets PPOA apart from other pain management providers is our commitment to innovation and comprehensive care. We don’t just manage pain — we work to identify and treat its root cause.

Our network includes advanced interventional pain management clinics, orthopedic centers, and AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery centers across the country. This allows us to offer a full spectrum of solutions under one roof, including:

  • Minimally invasive procedures for chronic spine, joint, and nerve pain

  • Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and spinal cord stimulation

  • Joint and nerve blocks for targeted pain relief

  • Regenerative medicine and advanced imaging for accurate diagnoses

  • Post-surgical pain management and ongoing care coordination

Because our physicians have access to cutting-edge technology and data-driven insights, patients receive care that’s both safe and effective — without unnecessary surgery or long recovery times.

Compassion That Transforms Lives

At PPOA, we never lose sight of the human side of medicine. Pain can affect every part of life — work, family, mobility, and emotional well-being. That’s why our approach goes beyond procedures to focus on understanding the individual behind the pain.

“Our commitment goes beyond managing pain — it’s about transforming lives,” says Josh Helms, CEO of Physician Partners of America. “What makes PPOA different is how we unite medical expertise with genuine empathy, ensuring every patient receives care that’s both effective and human.”

Every member of our team — from front-office coordinators to clinicians and surgical specialists — shares that same passion for patient-centered care. It’s what drives us to deliver comfort, clarity, and confidence at every step of your treatment journey.

A Proven Track Record of Excellence

Since opening our first clinic, PPOA has grown from just three employees to hundreds of dedicated professionals serving patients across multiple states. That growth is a reflection of the trust we’ve earned from both patients and physicians.

Our continuous expansion isn’t about numbers — it’s about access. By bringing quality pain management services to more communities, we’re fulfilling our mission to make comprehensive care available to anyone who needs it.

PPOA is proud to be home to some of the most skilled physicians and advanced facilities in the nation, all working together to achieve one outcome: lasting relief and restored quality of life.
