About
Advanced Pain Institute is a compassionate and comprehensive interventional pain management clinic with offices in Encino, Arcadia, and Pasadena, California.
Founded by Isaac Michael MineHart, MD, the pain treatment center focuses on nonsurgical therapies for long-term pain relief from all types of chronic pain, such as arthritis. Cutting-edge diagnostic tools and alternative treatments allow Dr. MineHart to take a comprehensive approach to care.
At Advanced Pain Institute, investigating the source of chronic pain is just as important as treating it. The clinic is home to the most advanced diagnostic tools available to pinpoint the exact cause and location of chronic pain, such as pain in the back, hips, knees, and shoulders.
From bone scans and lab work to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Smart Edge-Assisted System for Real-Time Pain Monitoring (SERP) and electromyography (EMG), Dr. MineHart gives patients a complete picture of their health before recommending treatment.
Pain relief is never one-size-fits-all at Advanced Pain Institute. Dr. MineHart works with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that targets their unique needs. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and ketamine therapy, corticosteroid injections, and physical therapy are among the many nonsurgical interventions he performs.
Surgery is always a last resort for Dr. MineHart, but when it’s necessary, he gravitates toward minimally invasive approaches, such as arthroscopic surgery. Regardless of necessary treatment, Dr. MineHart is happy to serve both lien patients and personal injury patients, and offers competitive, reasonable pricing for all services. Dr. MineHartTakes pride in treating complex pain cases that other physicians will not treat.

Ketamine
Dr. Minehart is proud to offer ketamine infusion therapy. If you have tried alternative modalities including pain medications, physical therapy, chiropractor, epidurals, or even homeopathic therapy and still suffer from pain, ketamine infusion could be your solution. IV ketamine is a widely used therapeutic treatment for a variety of conditions including chronic pain, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The treatment with ketamine involves delivering a controlled dosage via a subcutaneous route where it enters the subcutaneous space and is slowly absorbed into the bloodstream. This procedure is carried out over a period of 2-3 hours where you will be carefully monitored for any adverse events. Studies on the use of ketamine have previously shown considerable analgesic benefits and significant diminution of pain. Contact Dr. Minehart today for a consultation where he will determine if you are a good candidate for ketamine infusion therapy.
