Dr. Nikesh Seth of Scottsdale, Arizona, urges patients and providers to rethink how chronic pain is treated, with empathy, innovation, and informed choice at the center

SCOTTSDALE, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / January 21, 2026 / Dr. Nikesh Seth, a board-certified anesthesiologist and interventional pain management physician, is calling on patients and healthcare providers alike to rethink how chronic pain is treated-placing empathy, innovation, and informed choice at the center of care.

With more than 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Seth is raising awareness about the need for individualized, minimally invasive approaches that go beyond symptom management to focus on function, dignity, and long-term quality of life.

"Pain is not just a physical symptom-it touches every aspect of a person's life," says Dr. Seth. "True success in medicine begins with listening, showing empathy, and taking meaningful action to reduce both the physical and emotional burden of pain."

Chronic pain remains one of the most prevalent and costly health challenges in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 50 million U.S. adults live with chronic pain, and nearly 20 million experience high-impact chronic pain that significantly limits daily activities. Despite these numbers, many patients report feeling rushed, unheard, or left with few options beyond long-term medication.

Dr. Seth believes this disconnect is not due to a lack of medical advancement-but a lack of focus.

"We have more tools than ever before," he explains. "But innovation only matters when it's applied responsibly and aligned with a patient's goals, values, and lifestyle."

Returning to his roots, Dr. Seth has launched Global Pain Solutions in Scottsdale to once again prioritize the core values that defined his early career: compassionate care, individualized treatment, and the integration of the most innovative and evidence-based pain management modalities available today. As founder and CEO, he has built the practice around minimally invasive spine procedures, neuropathy care, and regenerative medicine options such as PRP and stem cell therapies-emphasizing functional restoration while minimizing downtime, unnecessary procedures, and prolonged reliance on medication.

Research supports this approach. Studies indicate that multimodal, interventional pain strategies can reduce opioid use by 30-50% in chronic pain patients while improving mobility and daily function. Yet access to these options often depends on patient education and advocacy.

"A successful outcome starts when patients feel empowered to ask questions," Dr. Seth says. "They deserve to understand their diagnosis, their options, and the risks and benefits of every path forward."

Dr. Seth's philosophy is also shaped by his personal journey. Raised in Arizona by parents who overcame poverty through perseverance and hard work, he learned early the importance of integrity and resilience. Today, as a physician, husband, and father of two, he defines success not by volume, but by impact.

"Legacy in medicine isn't about how many patients you see," he says. "It's about how many lives are changed because someone finally felt heard and supported."

Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Seth and his family support charitable organizations focused on healthcare access, education, and basic human needs, both locally and internationally. He views education-of both patients and providers-as a critical driver of meaningful change in pain care.

Call to Action

Dr. Seth encourages individuals living with chronic pain to take an active role in their care: learn about your condition, ask about minimally invasive options, and seek providers who listen, explain, and partner with you-rather than rush to prescribe.

"Patients don't need to accept pain as their identity," Dr. Seth says. "With the right information and the right care, there is a real path forward."
