Our practice focuses on interventional pain management. We also offer newer regenerative medicine therapies, including exosomes and stem cell treatments. In addition, we provide IV ketamine therapy for chronic pain and certain mood-related conditions. These treatments are part of our ongoing effort to give patients more choices and more support.
Pain can start suddenly after an injury. It can also grow slowly over time from wear and tear, inflammation, nerve damage, or past surgeries. Some patients deal with sharp pain. Others feel burning, aching, numbness, pressure, stiffness, or weakness. No matter how pain shows up, it deserves proper attention and care.
We believe education matters. Patients should understand their condition and know why certain treatments may help. We explain options clearly and answer questions honestly. Good care starts with communication, trust, and respect.
Our office works with patients with many types of pain, including neck, back, joint, nerve, headache, and arthritis pain. We also help people who continue to struggle after surgery or after other treatments have failed. We understand how frustrating ongoing pain can be. That is why we focus on creating realistic plans that support both short-term comfort and long-term improvement.
A Patient-First Approach
A lot of people are scared before they go to a pain treatment office. Some people worry that no one will believe them. Some people are sick of telling the same story over and over. We work hard at Jerome O Carter, MD, to ensure everyone feels welcome and respected from the start.
When we meet with clients, our team takes the time to get a full picture. We study how pain affects daily life, not just one symptom. When we talk to someone, we ask about their movement, sleep, work, stress, past accidents, and treatment history. We can get a better idea of what might be going on with this information.
Pain isn’t always easy to understand. Sometimes it’s easy to see what caused it. In some, you have to look very closely to find the cause. We make treatment decisions based on our experience, diagnostic tools, and patients’ reports. Once we know what the problem is, we discuss possible solutions and next steps.
We also know that change doesn’t always happen right away. Some people get better quickly, while others need more time and adjustments along the way. Our team stays involved throughout to monitor results and ensure patients can safely move forward.
Focused on Non-Surgical Solutions
Many patients want relief without major surgery. In many situations, less invasive treatments may help reduce pain and improve movement. Interventional pain management focuses on targeted methods designed to address pain at its source.
These approaches help reduce inflammation, calm irritated nerves, improve mobility, and support recovery. Our goal is to help patients return to normal activities with less discomfort whenever possible.
We understand surgery may still be necessary in certain cases. However, many patients prefer to explore other options first. We help patients understand available treatments so they can make informed decisions about their care.
Regenerative Medicine Options
Our practice offers regenerative medicine treatments that support the body’s natural healing response. We currently offer treatments involving exosomes and stem cells. These therapies continue to gain attention for their potential to support recovery and improve comfort in certain patients.
Regenerative medicine is not a quick fix. Results can vary depending on the condition, overall health, and treatment plan. During consultations, we discuss whether these options are appropriate given the patient’s needs and goals.
IV Ketamine Therapy
Chronic pain can affect both the body and the mind. Some patients also struggle with mood disorders connected to long-term pain. IV ketamine therapy has become an option for certain chronic pain conditions and mood-related concerns.
Our team carefully evaluates each patient before recommending this treatment. Safety, monitoring, and patient education are important parts of the process. We want patients to feel informed and comfortable as they explore possible care options.
Interventional Pain Management
Living with constant pain can feel exhausting. Some patients stop enjoying activities they once loved. Others withdraw from social events or struggle with sleep and focus. We understand how deeply chronic pain can affect everyday life, and we work hard to support patients through every step of treatment.
Our interventional approach targets pain at its source using minimally invasive, evidence-based methods designed to reduce discomfort and restore function.
Conditions We Treat
We provide care for many painful conditions that affect movement, nerves, muscles, joints, and daily comfort. Our practice evaluates both common and complex pain concerns. Some conditions may develop from injury, aging, repetitive motion, inflammation, or previous surgeries.
Patients often visit us after trying other treatments without enough relief. Others come to us early in the process, hoping to avoid worsening pain. No matter where someone is on their journey, we aim to provide thoughtful, individualized care.
Services and Conditions We Address
Through consultation, we diagnose and derive a unique treatment plan with each patient for painful conditions, including:
Helping Patients Move Forward
Pain affects more than physical health. It can affect confidence, independence, relationships, and emotional well-being. Some people stop doing the things they enjoy because they fear making pain worse. Others become frustrated after trying treatment after treatment with little success.
Our practice understands those challenges. We work to create a space where patients feel respected and supported. We know living with pain can be draining. Even simple tasks can feel overwhelming when discomfort becomes part of daily life.
That is why our team focuses on practical goals. Sometimes the goal is better movement. Sometimes it is improved sleep, fewer flare-ups, or getting back to work comfortably. Small improvements can make a big difference over time.
Patients should also be active participants in their care. Questions are welcome. Concerns matter. Clear communication helps patients feel more confident about their treatment journey.

Care Built Around the Individual
Every patient has a different story. Some pain starts after an accident. Some develop slowly with age or repetitive stress. Others deal with lingering pain after surgery or medical conditions that affect nerves and joints.
Because of that, treatment should never feel rushed or generic. We believe in personalized care that fits the patient rather than forcing the patient into a standard plan. Listening carefully helps us understand what matters most to each person who walks through our doors.
At Jerome O. Carter, MD, our mission is simple. We want to help patients find meaningful relief while supporting comfort, movement, and daily function.
