The practice’s mission emphasizes personalized, evidence‑based care that targets the source of pain, allowing patients to return to an active, productive life. Founded by Dr. Steve Crider Jr, MD, the team combines extensive experience in pain medicine with state‑of‑the‑art imaging guidance to ensure precise delivery of therapies.

Services are designed to address both spinal and peripheral sources of discomfort, incorporating both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. In addition to traditional pain management, the clinic offers specialized care for complex regional pain syndrome, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and chronic headache disorders. A comprehensive suite of services is offered, ranging from spinal and joint injections to advanced neuromodulation and ablative techniques. The multidisciplinary staff includes physicians, nurse practitioners, and support personnel who work collaboratively to develop individualized treatment plans. By integrating cutting‑edge procedures such as radiofrequency ablation, balloon kyphoplasty, and spinal cord stimulation, Origins Spine and Joint Physicians aims to reduce reliance on surgery and improve long‑term functional outcomes for its patients.
