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.

Linda Odom

★★★★★

“I had been having extreme pain for a year in my shoulder, it was coming from arthritis in my neck. At my first visit I let them know my insurance would be expiring the next day due to employment changes. The doctor and his team reassured me they would do what they could to get insurance approval and the treatment I needed to start my new job pain free… and they did just that!!! Dr Martinez had med students with him that day and it was great to hear him share his knowledge and teach them. I feel blessed to have been referred to his practice. Thank you all for everything!!”

Frequently Asked Questions About Shoulder Pain Treatment in Fort Worth

What causes chronic shoulder pain?

Chronic shoulder pain can result from many conditions including rotator cuff tears or tendinitis, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), shoulder arthritis, bursitis, labral tears, and referred pain from the cervical spine. Dr. Martinez performs a comprehensive evaluation to identify the exact source of your pain.

How do I know if my shoulder pain is from my neck?

Shoulder pain from the neck (cervical radiculopathy) often radiates down the arm, may include numbness or tingling, and typically doesn’t worsen with shoulder movement. True shoulder joint pain is usually felt deep in the shoulder or at the top of the arm and worsens with overhead activities. Dr. Martinez uses diagnostic injections and imaging to determine the true source.

Can shoulder pain be treated without surgery?

Yes, many shoulder conditions respond well to non-surgical treatments. At WOW Spine, we offer shoulder joint injections, bursa injections, cervical epidurals for referred pain, regenerative medicine, and physical therapy. These treatments can provide significant relief and may help you avoid surgery.

What treatments are available for rotator cuff pain?

At WOW Spine, we offer subacromial bursa injections, shoulder joint injections, PRP therapy for partial tears, trigger point injections, and physical therapy. For rotator cuff tendinitis and partial tears, these non-surgical treatments are often very effective. Dr. Martinez creates a personalized treatment plan based on your specific condition.

How long do shoulder injections last?

Results vary by individual and condition. Corticosteroid injections typically provide relief for several weeks to months. PRP therapy may provide longer-lasting benefits as it promotes healing. Some patients require periodic injections while others achieve long-term relief. Dr. Martinez will discuss expected outcomes during your consultation.

Does WOW Spine accept my insurance for shoulder pain treatment?

We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield Texas, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, and Medicare. Call 682-285-1044 and our staff will verify your coverage before your appointment.
