Dr Brendel first helped me over 10 years ago, and has since placed a spinal stimulator to help my low back pain, and has now helped with my neck and shoulder pain. I am an active 74-year old female, and because of Dr Brendel, I can stay active.

Yesterday was my first time meeting Dr. Thorson. Ive been going to this clinic for over a year now. Dr. Thorson was very professional and got right down to business. I was very fortunate because they managed to squeeze me in at the very last minute, and I really appreciated it. Dr. Thorson reviewed my current condition and my med list. We discussed my progress with eliminating some of the meds I've been taking, and my plan to continue with this process. It was nice to finally meet Dr. Thorson, and I look forward to seeing him again at my next appointment.

I have been seeing Dr. Thornson and his staff since 1/2019. They help me figure out what a horrible doctor in Dallas had done wrong with installing a spinal cord stimulator incorrectly twice. They sent me to a doctor to remove it and into another doctor to install it correctly. I seen by Patrick Dixon PA I don’t feel like a patient. When I talk to him we try to work out what medication’s we think would work best to help me with my chronic pain. I was living 45 minutes south from the office but recently I moved to Central Arkansas. I’m 834 miles from doorstep the doorstep and I requested for a medication change or I can fill it at my new home and still come every other month to see them in Minneapolis. I don’t feel like a patient, I feel like friend of theirs and more like family member when I arrive the first person I see is Ricky she works the front desk. She’s absolutely amazing very personable person extremely friendly and addresses me with a smile.

First Appointment. Very impressed with Dr. Thorson that he had reviewed my North Memorial file from my previous Pain Specialist. He, also, knew the doctors from two other orthopedic practices that did all my surgeries. He gave me some very good options for pain management care. Will be going back in one month.

Dr. Thorson shows so much care for his patients regarding there well being. If a procedure wasn't a full success to take their pain away, he made sure to keep digging to find another solution. The MinuteMan procedure that was done for me, had given life changing results! I am beyond happy to have found Dr. Thorson on the internet last summer - he had changed my life for the better!

Our Mission
Solving the Mystery, Identifying
the Source of Your Pain
Countless examinations, painful, even excruciating tests, medications that don’t even touch the pain, and no clear diagnosis—this is likely an all-too-familiar scenario for you.

But at IPSW, our mission is to solve the mystery…to really listen to you, to dig deep, to find the source, to effectively treat you, and to finally relieve you of your pain. What’s more, we take the time to explain to both you and your family why the problem exists and what we need to do to correct it.
