Our Philosophy
A precise path,
drawn around you.
No two patients feel pain the same way — so no two treatment plans should look the same either.
Houston-raised. Chicago-trained. Returning home to put patients first.
Edward Baumgartner Jr., MD founded HTx Pain Institute with a clear mission: bring the modern interventional toolkit to Houston — applied with the time, precision, and judgment every patient deserves. Just the care he’d want for his own family. He operates at Townsen Memorial Hospital, Houston Methodist, and St. Luke’s Health.

What We Treat
Modern interventional care, tailored to your pain.
Image-guided procedures, regenerative therapies, and the full modern pain-medicine toolkit — applied with the precision and judgment every patient deserves.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Outpatient procedure using precise electrical current to quiet damaged or inflamed nerves.
Injections & Nerve Blocks
Image-guided injections that calm inflamed joints, nerves, and spinal structures.
Kyphoplasty
Minimally invasive procedure that stabilizes painful spinal compression fractures.
SI Joint Fusions
Minimally invasive fusion for sacroiliac dysfunction that hasn't responded to conservative care.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
Implantable system that delivers gentle electrical fields to block pain signals before they reach the brain.
Intracept Procedure
Targets the basivertebral nerve to address chronic low-back pain at its anatomic source.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Non-surgical regenerative therapy using your own platelets to accelerate healing.
MILD Procedure
Minimally invasive lumbar decompression to relieve neurogenic claudication from spinal stenosis.
Minuteman Lumbar Fusion
A posterior interspinous-interlaminar implant that stabilizes a painful lumbar segment with minimal disruption.
Pain Center
The conditions we treat — with the expertise they require.
From neuropathic pain to chronic back pain, knee pain, and more — find the diagnosis that fits and the right path forward.
Neuropathic Pain
Burning, electric, or tingling pain caused by injury or irritation of the nerves themselves.
Chronic Pain
Pain that persists beyond expected healing — and the comprehensive plan it requires.
Joint Pain
From shoulder to hip — image-guided care for the joints that move you.
Knee Pain
Arthritis, tendon pain, and knees that still hurt after surgery, from the cartilage to the nerves that supply the joint.
Neck Pain
Precision care for the cervical spine — without rushing to surgery.
Back Pain
The most common reason patients come to us — and where we have the most to offer.
Other Pain Conditions
Headaches, abdominal pain, post-surgical pain, CRPS, and more.
Sciatica
Radiating leg pain from compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve.
Herniated Discs
When the soft inner disc material pushes through the outer wall and irritates a nerve.
Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses nerves and limits walking.
Hip Pain
From bursitis to osteoarthritis — image-guided care for the hip joint.
Shoulder Injuries
Rotator cuff, labrum, and tendon issues — diagnosed precisely, treated thoughtfully.
Migraines & Chronic Headache
Beyond medication management — interventional options when headaches don't respond.
Fibromyalgia
A whole-person condition that benefits from a coordinated, individualized plan.
Sports Injuries
Get back to your sport — with diagnostics and biologics that respect the timeline.
Post-Surgical Pain
When surgery resolved the issue but pain remained — interventional options that can help.
