Talking Innovations in Treating Pain With Alliance Spine & Pain

On this episode Don and I spoke with Dr. Allen Hord, MD, of Alliance Spine & Pain. The practice has grown to include 19 offices in several Georgia communities. The Alliance Spine & Pain website describes their approach to treating pain this way, “In our centers, Alliance Spine and Pain Management physicians focus on non-surgical treatments to treat the root of spine pain — helping people get the relief they need. These spine procedures are clincally proven and follow the strict guidelines of the American Academy of Pain Management. Our physicians are fellowship-trained in interventional pain management, a relatively new medical specialty which focuses on relieving pain through minimally-invasive procedures. Interventional pain management utilizes a variety of techniques to treat conditions associated with chronic pain, including epidural steroid injections, medial branch blocks, facet joint injections, discographic injections, pulse radiofrequency neurotomy and spinal cord stimulation. These procedures are in contrast to higher-cost, often failed, major back surgery and prescription neurotics which often cause unintended physiological and psychological consequences to the patient.

Our state-of-the-art outpatient surgical facilities are approved by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), the formal accrediting body for healthcare facilities nationwide.

We as an organization also maintain meaningful relationships with hospitals in the area in order to ensure that our patient’s receive the appropriate treatment when medically necessary.

Our practice includes patients covered by commercial insurance, Medicare, and workman’s compensation.

Alliance Spine and Pain Management serves patients and families by focusing solely on ending back pain — and helping patients avoid spine surgery. During procedures, patients have the option of receiving a moderate level of sedation in order to ensure that they are fully comfortable. For over 80% of our patients, the result is successful and significant amount of their pain is relieved. This is our goal: to use a comprehensive approach to give patients increased mobility, relieve them of pain, and help them avoid unnecessary spine surgeries. We wish to improve each patient’s lifestyle, overall wellness and certainly, their quality of life.

All of our procedures are done while patients are under sedation — to ensure that each patient is fully comfortable. For over 80% of our patients, the result is successful. Their pain is gone! That is our goal — to give patients increased mobility, relieve them of pain, and help them avoid back surgery. We wish to improve each patient’s lifestyle, overall wellness — and certainly, their quality of life.”

Culinary Atlanta Series Featuring Mike Perez with Donetto

00:00 /

Executive Chef Michael Perez dreamed of traveling the world, but not necessarily as a cook – he wanted to be a flight attendant. While taking a hospitality class in high school, a guest chef from Johnson and Wales University-Miami spoke of his extensive travel abroad and inspired Perez to change course. After graduating, Perez applied to Johnson and Wales University-Miami’s culinary program and was able to enroll without the necessary prerequisites after sharing his passion with the culinary instructor. Perez set out to pursue his career in culinary world, and hasn’t looked back.

Following college, Perez moved to Hawaii and cooked aboard two Norwegian Cruise lines. After his cruise ship tenure ended in 2007, Perez returned to his hometown of Portland, OR, to stage under a French-trained chef at the Timberland Lodge. Perez’ next role was Sous Chef at Ten 01, which was named “Restaurant of the Year” under his direction. In 2008, Perez became Sous Chef at Tabla Mediterranean Bistro in Portland, which received the award for “Best Pasta Dish” by Willamette Week’s Annual Restaurant Guide.

Perez moved to California in 2010 to assume the role of Sous Chef under the Food Network’s acclaimed chef Scott Conant at his award-winning Beverly Hills restaurant Scarpetta. Perez also served on the opening team for Scarpetta inside The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. In TK year, Perez became Executive Chef at the Deep Creek Fishing Club in Ninilchik, Alaska where he successfully developed a new menu at the full-service luxury lodge.

After journeying to Charleston, SC in 2011 to further his career, Perez joined the Indigo Road family where he later became a part of the opening team for Indaco, the group’s Italian concept located in Charleston. In 2015, Perez relocated to Atlanta where he opened Colletta, Indigo Road’s second Italian outpost located in Alpharetta’s premier Avalon development. This summer, Indigo Road will open Donetto, a Tuscan-inspired restaurant on the Westside, where Perez will serve as the executive chef serving Tuscan fare, popular staples from the regions of Sienna, Umbria and Rome, an array of meat-centric dishes and a rotating pasta menu.

Perez says his favorite part about cooking is learning new things while teaching his staff and fellow chefs. When not in the kitchen, Perez appreciates a full day of snowboarding or fishing, exploring new restaurants with friends, and fulfilling his love for travel and exploring new cultures.
