Dr. Stephanie Vanterpool’s Documentary on Pain Treatment Premieres on PBS

Dr. Stephanie Vanterpool, a distinguished pain management expert from the British Virgin Islands, has unveiled her latest project—a documentary aimed at reshaping how we approach chronic pain. The film, Targeted Pain Treatment – Hope for Patients with Pain, premiered on East Tennessee PBS on January 8, 2025. As executive producer, Dr. Vanterpool is featured prominently alongside patients whose lives have been dramatically transformed by targeted pain treatments.

The documentary delves into groundbreaking, patient-centered pain management techniques that are offering real hope to individuals battling chronic pain. By focusing on the root causes of pain rather than merely alleviating symptoms, the film presents a fresh perspective on a condition that affects millions. Personal stories from patients who have undergone these innovative treatments provide a deeply human element, illustrating the profound impact on quality of life.

Dr. Vanterpool, who serves as the medical director of the University Center for Pain Management in Knoxville, Tennessee, as well as an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine, expressed her enthusiasm for sharing this film with a wider audience. “As a proud native of the British Virgin Islands, I hope this documentary resonates with people locally, as well as those around the world, who may benefit from these transformative pain treatments,” she said.

The full documentary is now available for on-demand streaming, allowing viewers to explore the cutting-edge techniques showcased at their convenience.
