Do I need a referral to see Dr. Martinez?

While some insurance plans require a referral from your primary care physician, many do not. Call our office at 682-285-1044 and we'll verify your specific insurance requirements. Self-pay patients do not need a referral.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring your photo ID, insurance card, a list of all current medications, and any relevant imaging studies (MRI, X-rays, CT scans) on CD or uploaded to a patient portal. Arrive 15 minutes early to complete new patient paperwork.

What is ketamine therapy used for?

Ketamine infusion therapy is used to treat chronic pain conditions that haven't responded to other treatments, as well as treatment-resistant depression. Dr. Martinez, as a board-certified anesthesiologist, provides safe, monitored ketamine treatments.

How is WOW Spine different from other pain clinics?

Dr. Martinez is double board-certified in both Pain Management and Anesthesiology. He serves as Director of Pain Management at Baylor Scott & White and teaches at TCU Medical School. We focus on treating the root cause of pain, not just masking symptoms with medication.

Does WOW Spine prescribe opioid medications?

Dr. Martinez focuses on treating the root cause of pain rather than masking symptoms with medications. While he may prescribe medications when medically necessary, he prioritizes non-narcotic options and interventional procedures that provide lasting relief.

René Gilbert

★★★★★

“I have been seeing Dr. Martinez for over a year for fibromyalgia. So many doctors just don’t know how to treat fibromyalgia. Many disagree about treatment. And of course every patient is different. But the first time I visited Dr. Martinez’s office, it was obvious he had done some homework. Not only did he know what worked as far as treating pain, he knew why it worked, and why other stronger pain meds don’t work for fibromyalgia. He always takes the time to talk and to make sure that what we are doing for my fibro is still working. You can really tell he cares about his patients.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Fibromyalgia Treatment in Fort Worth

What is fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep problems, and cognitive difficulties (often called “fibro fog”). It’s believed to be a central sensitization disorder—your nervous system amplifies pain signals. Fibromyalgia affects about 4 million American adults and is more common in women. While there’s no cure, symptoms can be effectively managed with the right treatment approach. Dr. Martinez has extensive experience helping fibromyalgia patients find relief.

Why don’t regular pain medications work well for fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia pain is different from typical pain. It involves central sensitization—your brain and spinal cord process pain signals abnormally. Traditional pain medications like opioids and NSAIDs target different pathways and often aren’t effective for fibromyalgia. That’s why treatment focuses on medications that work on the central nervous system, such as certain antidepressants and anticonvulsants that modulate how your brain processes pain.

What medications are used to treat fibromyalgia?

FDA-approved medications for fibromyalgia include duloxetine (Cymbalta), milnacipran (Savella), and pregabalin (Lyrica). Low-dose tricyclic antidepressants like amitriptyline are also commonly used. Dr. Martinez takes time to find the right medication and dose for your individual situation, understanding that what works varies from patient to patient. We avoid stronger pain medications that typically don’t help fibromyalgia and can cause other problems.

How is fibromyalgia different from myofascial pain syndrome?

While both cause chronic muscle pain, they’re distinct conditions. Fibromyalgia involves widespread pain throughout the body, fatigue, sleep problems, and cognitive issues—it’s a central sensitization disorder. Myofascial pain syndrome involves specific trigger points that cause localized and referred pain but typically doesn’t include the widespread symptoms of fibromyalgia. Some patients have both conditions, and proper diagnosis helps guide appropriate treatment.

Can fibromyalgia be cured?

There’s currently no cure for fibromyalgia, but symptoms can be effectively managed. Many patients achieve significant improvement with the right combination of medications, lifestyle modifications, and self-management strategies. The goal is to reduce pain, improve sleep and energy, and help you maintain function and quality of life. Dr. Martinez works with you over time to optimize your treatment and adjust as needed.

Does WOW Spine accept my insurance for fibromyalgia treatment?

We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield Texas, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, and Medicare. Fibromyalgia treatment, including office visits and many procedures, is typically covered by insurance. Call 682-285-1044 and our staff will verify your coverage before your appointment.
