Clearway Pain Solutions, a leader in comprehensive pain management services, recently announced a significant acquisition that underscores its commitment to expanding its reach and enhancing patient care in Alabama. The company has acquired West Alabama Spine and Pain Specialists, a well-respected practice located in Tuscaloosa. This move not only marks a strategic moment for Clearway but also aims to improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from chronic pain in the region.

Acquiring a Trusted Provider

Established in 2009 by Dr. Frederick S. Graham, West Alabama Spine and Pain Specialists has earned a stellar reputation for its evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach to treating a range of pain conditions. With more than a decade of dedicated service to the West Alabama community, the clinic has been instrumental in delivering minimally invasive treatments that prioritize patient-centered care. The team’s ethos aligns closely with Clearway’s mission, making this acquisition a harmonious fit.

As of August 2025, the Tuscaloosa location will now officially operate under Clearway's brand, "The Center for Pain," reinforcing the organization's commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate care to individuals grappling with various forms of chronic pain. The clinic's address remains 4280 Watermelon Road, Suite 111, Northport, AL 35473, where patients can continue receiving the support and expertise they require.

Enhancing Patient Care

In a statement regarding the acquisition, Dr. David Herrick, a founding member of The Center for Pain, expressed pride in welcoming the West Alabama team to the Clearway family. He emphasized the shared vision of raising care standards across Alabama, which is crucial for meeting the needs of those affected by chronic pain.

Dr. Frederick S. Graham, the founder of West Alabama Spine and Pain Specialists, echoed this sentiment, highlighting how the merger opens doors for expanded resources and services for patients. He believes that integrating with Clearway will allow their team to offer a wider variety of specialists and enhanced treatment protocols, ultimately benefiting the Tuscaloosa community.

Under Clearway’s multidisciplinary care model, patients will benefit from a comprehensive range of treatments that include interventional procedures, medication management, and integrative therapies—all administered under one roof. This model simplifies the treatment pathway for patients, ensuring they receive the best possible care tailored to their individual needs. The existing clinical staff at the Tuscaloosa center will continue to provide care, ensuring that patients experience a seamless transition and continuity of service.
