Welcome to The Pain Treatment Center of the Bluegrass...
The Pain Treatment Center of the Bluegrass is the largest freestanding facility in the Bluegrass Region dedicated to the treatment of pain. Founded in 1991 by Ballard D. Wright, M.D., the Center specializes in treating patients for whom traditional medical and surgical methods have failed to alleviate their pain.
Mission
Our mission at The Pain Treatment Center of the Bluegrass is to provide a multidisciplinary approach to quality and cost-effective health care for the acute or chronic pain patient in an atmosphere of social concern and scholarly inquiry. The Center takes pride in its ability to help those difficult cases in which conservative therapy has failed. In these special cases, the Center's staff believe that they can bring relief to those individuals who have been told that there is no hope.
If you are interested in becoming a patient at the Center, please contact your Healthcare Provider for a referral to our center or contact the Patient Referral and Evaluation Department.
