3. Who is the physician at Innovative Pain Solutions Centers?
Dr. Onyinyechukwu Ochi, MD, is the Owner and Medical Director of Innovative Pain Solutions Centers. She is a board-certified anesthesiologist and pain-management specialist with advanced fellowship training in Pain Medicine.
Dr. Ochi focuses on interventional and multidisciplinary pain management and is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, patient-centered care.
4. What is interventional pain management?
Interventional pain management uses targeted, often minimally invasive procedures to help identify or treat the source of pain.
At Innovative Pain Solutions Centers, these approaches may be used to manage spine, joint, nerve, and musculoskeletal pain, with the goal of helping patients reduce pain, improve mobility, and return to daily activities.
Your provider will determine whether an interventional procedure is appropriate for your individual condition.
5. Do you offer regenerative medicine?
Yes. Regenerative medicine is one of the services offered at Innovative Pain Solutions Centers.
Regenerative approaches are intended to support the body's natural healing processes and may be considered for selected joint, tendon, ligament, and soft-tissue conditions.
Not every patient or condition is appropriate for regenerative treatment. An evaluation is necessary to determine whether it may be an option for you.
6. Do you offer medication management for chronic pain?
Yes. We provide medication management as part of comprehensive pain care.
Our approach emphasizes safe, structured, and closely monitored treatment. Medication plans are individualized based on a patient's condition, medical history, treatment response, and overall health, with an emphasis on responsible use, education, pain relief, and improved daily function.
7. Do you provide medical marijuana certification?
Yes. Innovative Pain Solutions Centers provides medical marijuana certification evaluations for eligible patients in accordance with Maryland guidelines.
Our providers review your medical condition, treatment history, and overall care goals to determine whether medical cannabis may be an appropriate component of your pain-management plan.
An evaluation does not guarantee certification. Eligibility is determined based on the individual patient's circumstances and applicable Maryland requirements.
8. Do you provide treatment for opioid dependence or addiction?
Yes. Innovative Pain Solutions Centers offers addiction treatment services, including medically guided care for patients experiencing opioid dependence or other substance-use concerns.
Treatment may include supportive care and medication-assisted treatment when clinically appropriate, with the goal of helping patients work toward stability, recovery, and improved overall well-being.
9. Do you offer diagnostic services?
Yes. Identifying the underlying cause of pain is an important part of developing an effective treatment plan.
Our diagnostic approach may include a detailed medical evaluation, review of available imaging and medical records, and targeted diagnostic techniques when appropriate.
The information gathered during this process helps our providers develop a treatment plan tailored to your condition.
10. Do you provide rehabilitation or supportive care?
Yes. Rehabilitation and supportive care are part of our multidisciplinary approach to pain management.
Depending on your condition, your care plan may include therapy recommendations, lifestyle guidance, ongoing pain-management strategies, and coordination with other healthcare professionals when appropriate.
The goal is not only to address pain, but also to support improved strength, mobility, function, and confidence in everyday activities.
11. Do you see Workers' Compensation patients and Veterans?
Yes. We welcome patients with Workers' Compensation coverage as well as eligible patients using Veterans' healthcare benefits.
Our team can assist with applicable coverage verification, referral requirements, and authorization requirements.
Because individual plans and authorizations vary, please contact our office so our staff can review the requirements related to your care.
12. How does Innovative Pain Solutions Centers approach treatment?
We believe pain management should be personalized and patient-centered.
Our team takes the time to understand each patient's condition, explain available treatment options, and involve the patient in decisions about their care. When appropriate, we use a multidisciplinary approach and may incorporate the expertise of other specialists into an individualized treatment plan.
Our goal is to help patients manage pain, restore function, and improve their quality of life.
13. Will I need an MRI, X-ray, or other testing before treatment?
14. What if previous treatments haven’t relieved my pain?
If previous treatments have not provided enough relief, our team can reassess your condition, review what you have already tried, and explore other appropriate treatment options.
Depending on your diagnosis and individual needs, this may include interventional procedures, medication management, regenerative medicine, rehabilitation, or other approaches offered at Innovative Pain Solutions Centers.
Our goal is to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses the source of your pain and helps improve your function and quality of life.
