At Align Interventional Pain, Dr. Morgan Pollard offers innovative, simple procedures to help patients get their lives back.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Safe, Effective Options<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cRecovering from surgery is no joke,\u201d says Dr. Pollard, who had shoulder surgery herself as a collegiate golfer. \u201cAll the treatments I offer are much easier to recover from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Many therapies use electrical impulses to change the way nerves respond to pain. Radiofrequency ablation is a quick, noninvasive procedure that disrupts the nerves\u2019 pain signals. Neuromodulation techniques involve implanting a small device that sends impulses to the nerves. Patients don\u2019t feel the impulses, and the device is easy to remove, if necessary.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dr. Pollard is also enthusiastic about the promise of regenerative medicine, which harnesses the patient\u2019s own body to generate healing. Most people aren\u2019t familiar with this treatment model, but it\u2019s becoming more widespread. She offers several safe, established therapies based on this model.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Improving Quality of Life<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dr. Pollard grew up in Purcell and graduated from OU School of Medicine. After a fellowship at the Mayo Clinic, she returned to Oklahoma in November 2020. Her brand-new practice accepts most major insurance, including Medicare. She invites patients to give them a call and see what they have to offer.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cMost of my patients have been through a lot\u2014surgery, therapy, medication, and more,\u201d she says. She encourages people not to see pain management as the last step before surgery, but to explore other options much sooner. \u201cThe field has changed dramatically in recent years,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s rewarding to see patients have great improvement in function and quality of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-16b68c12-7fff-3e58-a85b-9ba9efd2c8ce\">Align Interventional Pain is located at 501 E 15th Street, Suite 300-A, in Edmond, and online at<a href=\"https:\/\/alignpain.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> alignpain.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People with chronic pain have more treatment choices now than ever before.
