Welcome to Space City Pain Specialists…

Everyone experiences pain. It is a universal human experience. Most pain is resolved once the stimulus is removed or the body heals itself. Unfortunately, there are times when the pain persists despite the removal of stimuli and apparent healing of the body. Space City Pain Specialists is a group of dedicated, highly trained interventional pain medicine physicians providing comprehensive and individualized treatment for chronic pain. Our friendly staff and experienced providers’ goal – Restore Function and improve quality of life one patient at a time.



Space City Pain Specialists was founded in 2001 by Dr. Joseph T. Alvarez and Dr. Eduardo A. Garcia with the express goal of providing a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to pain management. Dr. S. Jeffrey Cannella joined Space City Pain Specialists in 2007 and opened the group’s second office in 2009. SCPS continues to study and research new techniques to help our patients. Intrathecal Micro dosing, Spinal Cord Stimulation, Regenerative Injection Therapy and the m.i.l.d. procedure are all examples of our pursuit of the latest and most effective treatment protocols for our patients.
