About us

Dr. Clayton Adams is an interventional pain medicine physician in Denver, Colorado. He is double-board certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine by the American Board of Anesthesiology. He specializes in non-surgical interventional procedures, including epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and spinal cord stimulation. He treats spine, joint and nerve pain, including facial pain and headaches.

After training as an anesthesiologist, Dr. Adams chose to specialize in pain medicine because he enjoys getting to know his patients and forming long-term relationships with them.

He is a specialist in spinal cord stimulation and works with patients who have painful conditions like diabetic neuropathy, lower back or leg pain, and peripheral neuropathy to see if this treatment could alleviate their pain. Dr. Adams first uses a temporary, external stimulator to see if the therapy provides relief. If it does, he refers patients to a neurosurgeon to discuss moving forward with a permanent implant. Neurosurgery One’s careful candidate screening process results in 80–90% of patients experiencing significant pain reduction with spinal cord stimulation, significantly higher than the national average.

Dr. Adams completed his residency and a fellowship in interventional pain management at Texas Tech University. Prior to joining the Neurosurgery One team, he practiced outpatient interventional pain management in Austin, Texas.
