Pain Management Specialists in Rice Lake, Hudson, & Altoona, WI

Wisconsin’s #1 Regenerative Medicine and Interventional Pain Practice
Interventional Pain Specialists of Wisconsin has been proudly caring for patients across rural Northwest Wisconsin and Southeastern Minnesota for over 20 years. Founded in 2004 by Dr. John Brendel, our clinic has earned the trust of the communities we serve by providing honest, effective, and patient-focused care. Today, under the medical direction of Matthew G. Thorson, MD, a double board-certified physician in anesthesiology and interventional pain medicine, we continue that tradition by delivering advanced, precision-based treatments close to home. We see patients in our Rice Lake and Hudson clinics and perform surgical procedures at the Oakleaf Surgical Hospital in Altoona, Wisconsin, allowing patients to receive high-level care without traveling far from where they live and work. 

We provide the full spectrum of interventional pain treatments, including epidural steroid injections, joint injections, and radiofrequency ablation—but we go well beyond standard pain management. We are widely regarded as the leading interventional pain and regenerative medicine clinic in the region, offering advanced orthobiologic regenerative treatments that use a patient’s own cells to help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve function in worn or injured joints and the spine. Our ultra-minimally invasive spine procedures include spinal cord stimulation, discectomy, kyphoplasty, minimally invasive spine stabilization procedures like the Minuteman®, advanced endoscopic spine procedures such as endoscopic neurectomy, and the Intracept® procedure by Boston Scientific for patients with chronic low back pain who have struggled for years without clear answers. In addition, we offer longevity-focused services, including peptide therapy and medically directed weight loss programs using GLP-1 medications, designed to support overall health, mobility, and long-term quality of life. Our goal is simple: to help people get back to work, back on the golf course, back on the field, and back to living life on their terms—with safe, precise, and proven care.

Patient Success stories

2 trips so far, and I can sit and bend without pain. I can’t believe it took me three years and I found my miracle clinic in Rice Lake, Wisconsin. Dr. Brendel is knowledgeable, explains his diagnosis and the treatment. I’ve tried other pain clinics without help. The whole staff is professional, courteous and efficient. I wish I would’ve known about Dr. Brendel 3 years ago!
