World-Class Expert in Neurology and Pain Management

Dr. Kwo Wei David Ho, MD, Ph.D. is the founder of Nerve and Pain Institute. He completed his neurology residency and pain medicine fellowship at Stanford University before moving to Portland to serve the local community. With over 30 peer-reviewed publications in pain medicine, neurology, and neuroscience, Dr. Ho is a leader in his field. He is also a graduate of the prestigious NIH-sponsored Medical Scientist Training Program, an honor awarded to only 1% of US-trained medical doctors.

When Pain Management Meets Neurology

As one of the few neurologists in the country with interventional pain fellowship training, Dr. Ho offers a unique perspective on chronic pain treatment. Unlike traditional pain specialists trained in anesthesiology, he integrates his deep understanding of neurological conditions to provide a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment approach.

Specialty Areas:

• Spinal Cord Stimulator (Dorsal Column and Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulator): For persistent nerve pain in the face, neck, back, arms, legs, and painful neuropathy in the feet.
• Peripheral Nerve Stimulator: For head, neck, low back, shoulder, knee, foot, and other neuropathic pain.
• Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation: For neck, mid back, low back, shoulder, and knee pain.
• Epidural Steroid Injection: For radiating pain from the neck and low back
• Fluoroscopy- and Ultrasound-Guided Injections.
• EMG/Nerve Conduction Studies.
• Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD): For low back pain from spinal stenosis
• Sacral Nerve Stimulation: For urinary and bowel incontinence.

Dr. Ho combines cutting-edge neurology expertise with advanced interventional pain management techniques to offer the highest level of care for his patients.
