Holistic Back Pain & Chronic Pain
Care for the Treasure Valley

At Treasure Valley Pain and Hormones , we deliver a unique, integrative approach to back pain, spine pain, and chronic pain management for patients across Meridian, Boise, Nampa, Eagle, Star, and the entire Treasure Valley. We don’t simply mask symptoms—we focus on identifying the root causes of pain through a functional-medicine lens while combining the best of traditional pain management, hormone optimization (HRT), medical weight loss, and peptide therapies.

We specialize in treating complex, chronic, and acute pain conditions, including migraines, radiculopathy, spinal degeneration, neuropathic pain, neuralgias, PTSD, post-surgical pain and several other conditions. Our goal is not just to only reduce pain—but to restore function, mobility, and overall quality of life as much as possible.

Medication Management &
Opioid Reduction Focus

We offer comprehensive medication management for chronic pain, prioritizing safety, functional improvement, and long-term success. Our clinic works closely with patients to:

Reduce reliance on opioid pain medications when appropriate
Transition toward safer, evidence-based alternatives
Improve pain control using multimodal treatment strategies
Support tapering, withdrawals, or medication transitions
Replace opioids with functional, metabolic, and regenerative approaches when possible and appropriate
At Treasure Valley Pain and Hormones , we prescribe opioid medications only when clinically appropriate, and only when the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Opioids are considered after safer, evidence-based alternatives have been explored or exhausted, and when they are necessary to maintain function or quality of life.
All opioid therapy follows Idaho guidelines, best practices, and individualized monitoring to ensure safe, responsible use.

We follow Idaho best practices and state regulations, with a compassionate, collaborative approach focusing on restoring your life—not merely limiting medications.

A Multimodal, Whole-Person Approach to Pain

Our team integrates multiple therapeutic approaches to support healing, improve mobility, and address metabolic, hormonal, and structural contributors to pain.

Interventional Pain Procedures (Diagnosis + Care Coordination)

At Treasure Valley Pain and Hormones , we are highly skilled in identifying, diagnosing, and determining the most effective treatment plan for complex spine conditions. While we do not perform all interventional spine procedures in-house (such as epidural steroid injections or medial branch blocks), our advanced evaluation process allows us to accurately diagnose the condition and determine exactly which procedure is clinically appropriate.

When a specialized intervention is needed, we coordinate care and refer you to trusted interventional pain specialists we work closely with to ensure seamless, high-quality treatment and optimal outcomes.

We act as your primary spine and chronic pain management team, guiding your full treatment plan, monitoring progress, and integrating therapies such as HRT, weight loss, peptides, lifestyle optimization, and functional medicine—while partnering with interventionists for the procedures themselves.

Interventional Procedures We Commonly Coordinate and/or Treat

Epidural steroid injections
Facet joint injections & medial branch blocks
Trigger-point injections
Occipital nerve blocks for migraine and neck pain
Minimally invasive spine procedures when appropriate

Functional Root Cause
Pain Management

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) & Pain Relief

Hormone changes contribute to inflammation, muscle loss, bone instability, fatigue, and pain perception. Optimizing hormones can:

Reduce musculoskeletal pain
Improve muscle repair and strength
Support bone density
Boost metabolism and energy
Reduce inflammation contributing to back pain

Medical Weight Loss for Spine Health

Weight is a major driver of back pain, disc degeneration, sciatica, nerve compression, and chronic inflammation. At Treasure Valley Pain and Hormones , our medical weight-loss programs are designed to support patients with spine-related conditions by targeting the metabolic and hormonal factors that worsen pain and limit mobility.

We work closely with neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons across the Treasure Valley, who often refer their patients to us for weight optimization before surgery when appropriate. These specialists trust us to help patients safely reduce weight, improve metabolic health, and enhance surgical readiness—leading to better outcomes both before and after operative care.

Our medical weight-loss approach helps:

Decrease spinal load
Reduce nerve compression and inflammation
Improve posture, mobility, and stability
Enhance overall function, recovery, and pain tolerance

Peptide Therapy for Repair & Recovery

Peptides can help:

Reduce inflammation
Support tissue repair
Improve collagen synthesis
Enhance mobility and recovery from chronic spine pain

Diagnosing the
Real Cause of Back Pain

We evaluate all contributing factors to create an accurate diagnosis. Back pain may stem from:

Lumbar & cervical disc herniations
Degenerative disc disease & spinal stenosis
Nerve compression & radiculopathy
Facet joint arthritis
Chronic migraines affecting neck and upper spine
Muscle imbalance or posture dysfunction
Hormonal imbalance (perimenopause, menopause, low testosterone, thyroid dysfunction)
Obesity, metabolic inflammation, lifestyle stress, sleep disruption

We focus on precise diagnosis, so treatment isn’t based on guesswork.

Coordinated Referral Network for Comprehensive Care

As a holistic, integrative clinic, we refer patients when necessary and coordinate care across multiple specialties. We collaborate with:

Spine surgeons
Neurosurgeons
Orthopedic Specialists
Atlas Manipulation/Craniosacral therapy
Concussion Centers
Lifestyle Medicine Programs

Convenient location • Insurance accepted • Evidence-based care • Functional, metabolic, and hormonal integration

Does Treasure Valley Pain and Hormones take insurance for back pain and chronic pain treatment?

Yes. Treasure Valley Pain and Hormones accepts most major insurance plans for office visits related to back pain, sciatica, nerve pain, and chronic pain management. This includes Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, PacificSource, Regence, SelectHealth, St. Luke’s Health Plan, UMR, United Healthcare, and more, as well as Medicare and Medicare Advantage (when referrals are required). We verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage before starting treatment.
What doctor should I see for back pain in Meridian, Idaho?

Patients with back pain often search for a pain management specialist, spine specialist, or doctor who treats back pain. At Treasure Valley Pain and Hormones , we diagnose the root cause of pain and create individualized treatment plans using medication management, HRT, weight loss, peptides, and coordinated interventional procedures.
How do I know if my back pain is serious enough to see a specialist?

You should see a specialist if your back pain lasts more than a few weeks, radiates into the legs or arms, causes numbness or weakness, affects sleep, or impacts daily function. We provide advanced diagnostics to determine the exact cause.
Do you treat sciatica and pinched nerves?

Yes. Sciatica and nerve compression are among the most common conditions we treat. We evaluate disc issues, stenosis, inflammation, posture, hormonal contributors, and metabolic factors to create a targeted care plan and coordinate needed procedures.
Do you prescribe opioid medications for chronic pain?

Yes—only when clinically appropriate, when benefits outweigh risks, and after safer alternatives have been tried. We provide safe, responsible opioid prescribing while helping patients reduce reliance when possible, following Idaho guidelines.
What non-opioid treatments are available for chronic pain?

We offer a multimodal approach including HRT, medical weight loss, peptide therapy, injections, lifestyle optimization, metabolic assessment, and collaborative referrals for PT, chiropractic care, neurosurgery, or orthopedics.
Do you perform epidural injections or do I need a referral?

We diagnose the condition, determine the correct injection, and coordinate the procedure with trusted interventional specialists. You do not need a referral to see us first—we evaluate, diagnose, and manage your care plan.
Can hormone imbalance cause back pain or chronic pain?

Yes. Low testosterone, menopause, perimenopause, and thyroid dysfunction often increase inflammation, weaken muscles, reduce bone stability, and worsen pain. We specialize in hormone optimization for pain relief.
Can losing weight help reduce back pain or sciatica?

Absolutely. Weight reduction decreases spinal load, nerve compression, and inflammation. Our medical weight-loss programs are designed for patients with spine conditions, and many neurosurgeons refer patients to us for pre-surgical optimization.
Do you treat chronic migraines or headaches caused by neck issues?

Yes. We treat cervicogenic headaches, chronic migraines, tension headaches, and migraines linked to neck or upper-spine dysfunction. We also coordinate occipital nerve blocks when appropriate. In addition, many patients experience significant improvement in cyclic or hormonally driven migraines through our hormone therapy (HRT) programs, which address estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid imbalances that commonly trigger or worsen migraine patterns.
