Pain Management in McAllen, TX

Echo PMR offers advanced, physician-led pain management and physical medicine care to patients in McAllen and throughout the Rio Grande Valley. Dr. Umar Mahmood, DO — a board-certified physiatrist and interventional pain specialist — provides comprehensive care for patients with spine conditions, traumatic injuries, complex nerve pain, and chronic pain disorders that have not responded to conventional treatment.

The Rio Grande Valley is one of the most medically underserved regions in Texas for interventional pain care. Echo PMR's McAllen clinic brings fellowship-trained expertise directly to the RGV, so patients can access advanced treatments without leaving the Valley.

Filling the Gap in RGV Interventional Pain Care

For many patients in the Rio Grande Valley, access to a board-certified, fellowship-trained interventional pain specialist has meant long drives to San Antonio, Houston, or beyond. Echo PMR's McAllen clinic changes that. Dr. Mahmood brings the same level of advanced care found at major academic medical centers directly to the Valley — including complex procedures like spinal cord stimulation, ketamine infusions, and peripheral nerve stimulation that are rarely available locally.
