About this episode

In this episode of The Med-Legal Greenroom, host Sam Frentzas interviews Dr. Demetrio Aguila, President and CEO of Total Pain Solutions, a peripheral nerve surgeon and former U.S. Air Force combat flight surgeon. Dr. Aguila explains that chronic pain often stems from an overlooked fourth source: the peripheral nervous system. Unlike temporary treatments such as radiofrequency ablation, peripheral nerve surgery can provide permanent relief. He encourages patients who have been told "nothing can be done" to seek referrals to peripheral nerve specialists. Dr. Aguila also emphasizes the importance of patient education and expanding surgical training to make these treatments more widely accessible across the United States.Schedule a consultation with Dr. Aguila at https://totalpainsolutions.net/about/.
