What kind of pain conditions do you treat?

We treat a wide range of acute and chronic pain conditions, including back pain, neck pain, joint pain, sciatica, arthritis, nerve pain and accident injuries or surgeries. Our goal is to help you get back to an active and pain-free lifestyle.

Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?

In most cases, you do not need a referral to see us. We accept self-referrals and work with most insurance providers. If you are unsure, just give us a call and we will help you understand what is needed.

What is interventional pain management?

Interventional pain management uses targeted, invasive procedures such as injections, nerve blockages, and spine stimulation to treat the source of your pain, not just cover it up with medication.

Who is Dr. Blake Christensen?

Dr. Blake Christensen is an expert in pain management, certified by the board and founder of Oklahoma Pain Treatment Centers. With extensive training and a personalized approach, he is known for helping patients find real, lasting relief.

Are your treatments surgical?

No. We specialize in non-surgical pain treatments. Most of our procedures are performed in-office and do not require hospital stays or long recovery times.

What are epidural steroid injections, and are they safe?

Epidural steroid injections help reduce inflammation around spinal nerves. They are safe, commonly used, and often bring relief from conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis.

How long will it take to see results?

It depends on the condition and treatment plan, but many patients experience relief within days or weeks. We will guide you through each step and adjust your care as needed.

Is pain management just about medication?

Not at all. While medication can be part of a plan, we focus on treating the root cause through injections, physical therapies, nerve treatments, and lifestyle guidance.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring your ID, insurance card, a list of medications you are currently taking, and any recent imaging reports if available (X-rays, MRIs, etc.).

Where are you located, and what are your hours?

We have locations in Oklahoma City, Norman. Our clinics are open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Our staff will help verify your coverage and explain any costs before your treatment.

What makes Oklahoma Pain Treatment Centers different?

We treat each patient like family. With expert care led by Dr. Blake Christensen and a dedicated staff, we combine experience, compassion, and innovative treatments by the best team for the best health and quality of life.

Pain Doctors Near You: Finding Expert Relief in Oklahoma

Every day can feel like a struggle if you are living with chronic pain. Finding the right pain management doctor can make all the difference, whether it is lower back pain, sciatica, or nerve pain that just will not go away.

Our pain management doctor near Bethany specializes in helping you find relief. We focus on long-term results by offering advanced interventional treatments and supportive therapy.

Why Choose a Board-Certified Pain Doctor?

A pain management doctor is a physician with specialized training in diagnosing and treating complex pain conditions. Unlike general practitioners, we use a multidisciplinary approach to understand the source of musculoskeletal and nerve pain.

Chronic neck and back pain
Radiculopathy and sciatica
Herniated or bulging discs
Joint pain and arthritis
Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS)

We work with patients across OKC and surrounding areas to develop personalized treatment plans. We know that integrated care involving medical, psychological, and physical therapies leads to significant improvements in pain intensity, quality of life, and psychological well-being. Our goal is to get you back to your life by targeting the root cause of your pain.

The Role of Pain Therapy in Lasting Control

Pain therapy is a key part of our comprehensive approach to care. We often recommend therapy alongside interventional treatments to improve strength, flexibility, and function.

Improve posture and movement
Reduce inflammation and stiffness
Rebuild muscle strength
Prevent further injury
Support spine and joint health

Therapy can dramatically improve long-term outcomes when combined with interventional procedures. This is especially true for patients suffering from back pain and sciatica who need to regain mobility.
