About Albert Torres, APRN, FNP-C
West Texas Pain Institute, located in El Paso, Texas, offers a patient‑focused, multidisciplinary approach to chronic pain management. The practice is led by double board‑certified pain medicine specialist and anesthesiologist Dr. Raul J. Lopez, MD, who emphasizes identifying the root cause of pain and tailoring treatments to each individual. Telehealth appointments are available for convenient virtual visits, and the team strives to provide attentive, compassionate care that treats patients like family. The institute provides a broad range of innovative, minimally invasive therapies, including spinal cord stimulation, kyphoplasty, and a suite of regenerative medicine treatments such as stem cell therapy and platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) injections. These regenerative options aim to boost the body’s natural healing ability, relieve pain, and address underlying injuries rather than merely masking symptoms. In addition to regenerative techniques, the practice offers epidural injections, radiofrequency ablation, peripheral nerve stimulation, and specialized care for conditions like fibromyalgia and peripheral neuropathy. The comprehensive service menu is designed to give patients multiple pathways to pain relief while avoiding more invasive surgical interventions whenever possible.
