When you suffer from pain, it rules your life. In addition to being a source of constant worry, it can be quite debilitating, keeping people from the activities they enjoy most. Pain can make simple tasks like lifting groceries or playing with children and grandchildren difficult. It can interfere with sleep, productive work, and personal relationships.

Some of the most common types of pain that people experience are often abdominal and pelvic pain. Due to the fact that this area is where your back and spine meet your hips and lower body, it can easily become a place that stores a lot of pressure. In some cases, this can be easily treated, but in other cases, this can cause more acute issues that can lead to further injury.
Back pain is a very common problem. There are many different causes of back pain, and sometimes, there is no cause at all. Here at Western Rockies Interventional Pain Specialists, we focus on treating back pain based on a combination of symptoms and diagnostic imaging results. Dr. Lewis and Dr. Christopherson use diagnostic imaging for reference, however; they base most of their clinical decision making on the patient's description of the pain.
Hip pain is more common in seniors, but can affect anyone. It can occur for many reasons, from being overweight to having a medical condition or injury. Chronic hip pain can be debilitating, leading to a lower quality of life. Our pain management doctors at Western Rockies Interventional Pain Specialists can help!
Spinal cord stimulators are implanted to treat a localized area of pain by treating specific pain fibers within the spinal cord. The stimulator interrupts the pain signals before they reach the brain and are perceived as pain. Some examples of conditions typically treated with spinal cord stimulation include, but are not limited to: phantom limb pain, failed-back surgery syndrome, and complex regional pain syndrome.

Dr Christopherson and the staff at Western Rockies Interventional Pain Clinic are outstanding at what they do!! They will explain what will happen and answer any questions the patient may have, always trying to put the patient at ease. When I call for an appointment they are very accommodating to my needs.

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I am writing to endorse Dr Ken Lewis and staff. I first came to know Dr Lewis when I became a patient of his in 2019. I hope my perspective will be helpful to you as you evaluate this exceptional service. From the first phone call to the follow-ups after procedures you will be impressed. Dr Lewis has high ethical standards, superb knowledge, work integrity and his experience is excellent, comprehensive, insightful, and highly focused while having empathy towards the patient’s needs. He listens and performs diligently on the patient’s behalf. As

Will not recommend going here. The nurse practitioner was the only kind person. After receiving my first nerve block, I had pain during procedure and ended up making my pain worst 10/10 pain I've ever felt. Before procedure I was walking (albeit in quite a bit of pain), after I was on crutches and could hardly stand. Called multiple times explaining how bad it was and they ignored me the first time and told me to go elsewhere. They ignored my concerns during the procedure when the pain started and shooed me out after 10 minutes even though I was in more pain then when I arrived. Had to go to the
