Nura Pain Clinics Announces Merger with Capitol Pain Institute

EDINA, Minn. April 19, 2023 – Nura Pain Clinics, the Twin Cities’ foremost multidisciplinary pain management clinic, announced today that they have merged with Capitol Pain Institute, headquartered in Texas. This merger allows Nura and Capitol Pain Institute to expand access to care while remaining committed to their mission of improving the lives of people living with the most complex chronic pain. Following the merger, Nura will be a subsidiary of the Capitol Pain family of practices.

“Patient-centered care has always served as the foundation for everything we do at Nura,” said Dr. David Schultz, CEO of Nura. “With Capitol Pain Institute, Nura has found a partner whose values, mission, and culture closely aligns with ours. The time is right to bring our two organizations together as we look to the future.”

Dr. Schultz founded Nura Pain Clinics (formerly MAPS Medical Pain Clinics) in 1995. A full-time interventional pain specialist, he is also an adjunct professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Minnesota. He is a certified board examiner for the American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians (ABIPP) and a former board member and past president of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP). Dr. Schultz is widely known for his expertise in pain management and currently serves as executive director of the Minnesota Society of Interventional Pain Physicians. He is a prolific author of medical articles and book chapters, a frequent speaker at national meetings, and a principal investigator in pain research.

“As leaders in neuromodulation and advanced therapies, the synergies between Nura and Capitol Pain Institute were undeniable,” said Capitol Pain Institute President Dr. Matthew Schocket. “Together, we will be even stronger, and more people living with chronic pain will benefit from our innovative and integrated approach to care.”

Dr. Schocket is board certified in both anesthesiology and pain management after completing his residency at UT-Southwestern in Dallas and fellowship at the University of California San Diego. Dr. Schocket founded Capitol Pain Institute in 2007 to provide expert pain management to Austin and its surrounding communities. He is a recognized world leader in the field of pain management and has taught physicians across the United States, Europe and Asia. Capitol Pain Institute and its affiliated practices and ambulatory surgical centers have more than 50 physicians and advanced practice providers serving patients in six states.

All Nura locations will continue serving patients as Nura Pain Clinics in the Minneapolis market. Future plans include expanding the Nura brand regionally in the Upper Midwest as part of Capitol Pain’s national growth strategy. As part of an ongoing commitment to delivering comprehensive care, Nura will continue to offer medication management, physical therapy and behavioral wellness services to patients in coordination with minimally invasive interventions.

For more complex chronic pain problems, Nura uses the most advanced technology available offering a full range of implantable pain control options including neurostimulation and targeted spinal drug delivery. With Nura, patients can trust their care to a compassionate team that offers a wide range of pain management options, all expertly orchestrated to restore comfort and mobility.
