On this episode of The Dr. Tony Rhodes Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Ho, a double board-certified neurologist and interventional pain specialist, and the founder of Nerve & Pain Institute in Tigard, Oregon.
With advanced training from Stanford and over 30 published medical studies, Dr. Ho explains exactly when patients should consider pain intervention — and what options exist before surgery.
We dive deep into epidural steroid injections, medial branch blocks, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulators, and even Botox for migraines. Whether you’re a provider or a patient, this conversation clears up confusion around pain procedures, how referrals work, and what insurance typically covers.
Tune in to learn:
✅ When conservative care isn’t enough
✅ How Dr. Ho’s approach blends neurology and pain relief
✅ What procedures are safe, effective, and minimally invasive
✅ Why early intervention leads to better outcomes
If you’ve been living in pain, this episode might be the turning point.
