Why See a Pain Management Doctor in Long Beach, CA?
Chronic pain can result from various health conditions—degenerative disc disease, arthritis, prior injuries, nerve damage—and its effects ripple into every corner of life. Patients often seek minimally invasive treatment options for chronic pain after months of limited mobility, poor sleep, and frustration with medications that only mask symptoms.
A pain specialist like Dr. Roshan diagnoses the source of pain and builds a plan around it. Chronic pain management often requires a personalized treatment plan, and patient-centered care is essential in interventional pain management because no two patients present the same way. Interventional pain management can improve quality of life significantly when the right approach is matched to the right diagnosis.
Consider scheduling an evaluation if you experience:
- Pain lasting longer than three months
- Pain radiating down your arm or leg
- Pain after spine surgery that hasn’t resolved
- Sports or work injuries not improving with rest
- Growing reliance on daily pain medication
You do not necessarily need a referral. Our Long Beach office accepts patients directly and collaborates with referring providers across Long Beach, Lakewood, Signal Hill, and beyond.
Conditions We Treat at Our Long Beach Pain Clinic
Alleviate Institute focuses on spine-related and nerve-related chronic pain as well as major joint conditions. Long Beach offers multi-disciplinary clinics focused on chronic and acute pain management, and our unique approach centers on precise diagnosis before recommending any procedure.
Key conditions include chronic low back pain and neck pain, sciatica and radiculopathy, herniated and bulging discs, spinal stenosis, facet joint arthritis, sacroiliac joint pain, vertebral compression fractures, neuropathic pain, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and knee, hip, and shoulder pain.
Nerve-related pain feels different from joint or muscle pain. Someone walking along the Long Beach waterfront with a herniated lumbar disc might notice sharp, shooting pain down the leg and heel numbness—that is radiculopathy. By contrast, hip arthritis typically causes stiffness and aching localized to the joint itself. Physical therapy is often essential for treating back, neck, and joint pain, and chronic pain can be managed with non-opioid therapies when the underlying cause is accurately identified. Both acute injuries and long-standing conditions are evaluated, and diagnostic imaging or nerve studies may be ordered when necessary.
Treatment Options: Conservative & Interventional Pain Management
Every treatment plan begins with a thorough evaluation—there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Medication management is a key component of pain treatment in Long Beach; non-opioid medications include NSAIDs and topical agents for pain management, while long-term opioid therapy is used cautiously. Physical therapy, home exercise programs, bracing, and lifestyle guidance round out conservative care. Behavioral and complementary approaches can enhance pain management, and patients with serious illness may need palliative care for pain management as part of a broader strategy.
Interventional pain management includes non-surgical techniques that aim to reduce chronic pain effectively. Epidural steroid injections reduce inflammation in the spine by injecting steroids into the epidural space. These injections can provide pain relief for several weeks, are commonly used for back pain, and can help with nerve pain relief. Radiofrequency ablation uses heat to disable nerves transmitting chronic pain signals, offering longer-lasting results. Facet joint injections, medial branch nerve blocks, and sacroiliac joint injections address specific pain generators. Techniques include nerve blocks and spinal cord stimulation—spinal cord stimulators help manage chronic pain effectively, are considered a minimally invasive treatment option, and can improve patient mobility and quality of life. This therapy is often used when other treatments fail.
Kyphoplasty treats vertebral compression fractures by injecting cement into fractured vertebrae. It can reduce spinal pain and restore vertebral height and is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. The Intracept procedure and the MILD procedure offer additional options for vertebrogenic back pain and lumbar spinal stenosis, respectively.
PRP injections are used for pain management as a regenerative medicine technique. PRP therapy utilizes a patient’s own blood for treatment, can accelerate healing in sports injuries, and is minimally invasive and outpatient. Stem cell therapy is a regenerative treatment option for pain management that utilizes the body’s own stem cells to promote healing. Stem cell therapy can reduce inflammation and pain in joints and is considered minimally invasive compared to surgery.
The goal is always to reduce pain, improve function, and help you return to daily activities—not to promise complete elimination of pain.
What to Expect at Your Long Beach Pain Management Visit
Your first visit at our Long Beach office is designed to be calm, thorough, and respectful of your time and concerns. Dr. Roshan listens carefully to your pain history, reviews prior imaging and records, and performs a focused physical and neurologic examination. He explores how pain affects your work, family, and activities before recommending any course of action.
Additional tests—MRI, CT, X-ray, or EMG/nerve studies—may be ordered to clarify your diagnosis. Dr. Roshan explains findings in everyday language, reviews the benefits and risks of each option, and answers your questions before any procedure is scheduled.
Please bring imaging CDs and reports, your current medication list, your insurance card, and a photo ID. Insurance requirements may vary between different pain management practices, so our staff can help verify your coverage before your appointment. Most interventional procedures are performed on an outpatient basis.

Long Beach Pain Management FAQs
Do I need a referral to see a pain management doctor? Often no. Many insurance plans allow self-referral, though having a referral can streamline authorization. We accept patients directly and welcome referrals from other providers.
Are your pain management doctors board certified? Yes. Dr. Daniel Roshan holds board certification in both anesthesiology and pain medicine from the American Board of Anesthesiology, and completed fellowship training at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a major university-affiliated academic center.

What insurance plans do you accept? We accept most major PPO plans, Medicare, and workers’ compensation. Coverage can vary, so please check with our staff to confirm your plan. Our team speaks English and Spanish.
Will I get a procedure on my first visit? Typically not. The initial appointment focuses on understanding your condition through history, examination, and imaging review. Procedures are scheduled after a diagnosis and informed consent.
What is spinal cord stimulation and who is it for? It is an implantable device that sends electrical pulses near the spinal cord to modulate pain signals. It is generally considered for neuropathic pain, failed back surgery syndrome, or CRPS when other therapies have not provided adequate relief.
Do you prescribe opioid medications? Only when safer alternatives have been exhausted and pain severity warrants it, under close monitoring.
