Enhancing Patient Care: Crystal Clinic's New Pain Management Services

On October 1, 2025, Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center, a leading physician-owned hospital system, took a significant step forward by expanding its comprehensive pain management services to the Medina clinic. This strategic move aims to improve accessibility to effective pain relief strategies for patients in Medina County and the surrounding areas.

Chronic pain affects millions of individuals, debilitating their daily lives and limiting their ability to enjoy activities. The innovative treatments offered at Crystal Clinic are designed to help alleviate such pain, providing better quality of life for patients. The services include a variety of approaches such as physical therapy, medication management, and minimally invasive interventional procedures. Notably, these treatments encompass techniques like epidural steroid injections, selective nerve root blocks, and radiofrequency ablation—all of which are tailored to reduce inflammation and block pain signals effectively.

Dr. Timothy Ko, a board-certified interventional pain specialist at Crystal Clinic, stated, "For patients who suffer from chronic pain, the innovative pain management care we provide can be life-changing. It allows them to escape debilitating discomfort and regain a sense of normalcy in their lives." This expansion not only enriches the services offered at the Medina clinic but also complements the clinic's renowned orthopaedic care.

Led by Elizabeth Derhammer, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, the pain management services in Medina are provided by a team of experienced professionals, including nurse practitioners who are skilled in family practice. Having a strong team means that patients receive continuous and personalized care.

The Medina clinic is conveniently situated at 4975 Foote Road, Suite 100, allowing easy access for local residents. Certain pain management procedures will also be available at Crystal Clinic's facility in Fairlawn, where Dr. Ko leads the professional medical team.

Crystal Clinic's pain management services are not confined to Medina; they also extend to other locations including Ashtabula, Canton, Cuyahoga Falls, Fairlawn, and Independence.
