Dr. Marco Duran
When the doctor asks where it hurts and you answer, “everywhere,” it may be time to consider interventional pain medicine.
Dr. Marco Duran of the Pain Institute of Southern Arizona addresses Health Night Out on the latest techniques and treatments in pain management. Chronic pain plagues some 50 million adults in the U.S., and Tucson is fortunate to have had the Pain Institute of Southern Arizona here for 20 years.
Dr. Duran himself is an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) fellowship-trained specialist in interventional pain medicine. He is passionate about helping patients throughout Tucson and Green Valley return to an enjoyable and fulfilling quality of life.
Pain may be acute, with an identifiable cause, or chronic and complex. Dr. Duran is experienced in pain attributed to many causes.
Dr. Duran attended Texas Christian University for his undergraduate studies and is a graduate of the University of Arizona College of Medicine. He trained in internal medicine at Banner University College of Arizona Medical before attending Case Western Reserve University/MetroHealth Level 1 Trauma Center to complete his residency in anesthesiology. Dr. Duran completed his Interventional Pain Management/Pain Medicine Fellowship at the University of Illinois Chicago Medicine Center.
Fluent in both English and Spanish, Dr. Duran is highly trained and skilled in all areas of pain medicine, including physical medicine, neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome, sympathetic blockade, spinal injection techniques, spinal cord stimulation/implantation, kyphoplasty, and radiofrequency ablation.
