Dr. Racz is considered the "father of interventional pain medicine" and will join physicians who focus on pain management, neuromodulation and minimally invasive spine surgery on the Stimwave medical advisory board.
Here are five key notes on Dr. Racz:
1. He has been honored with several lifetime achievement awards.
2. His career spanned more than five decades.
3. He is a founder and past president of the World Institute of Pain.
4. He was instrumental in developing the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians.
