Get to know Interventional Pain Management Specialist Dr. Mohammed Omar, who serves patients in Tampa, Florida.

Dr. Omar is a determined interventional pain management specialist currently affiliated with Aspire Pain Relief Institute in Tampa, Florida. 

Surgery or heavy doses of prescription medications are usually not the first choice for people in pain and those methods don’t work for everyone. The Aspire Pain Relief Institute is highly successful in utilizing minimally invasive pain relief procedures. Dr. Omar prides himself in educating and empowering his patients regarding the safe and  effective pain management solutions he offers that many people did not even know were available. 

With a multi-modal approach to pain management, Dr. Omar incorporates medications, physical therapy, injections and state-of-the-art procedures both in-office and in surgery centers. He is deeply committed to compassion, empathy, listening and partnering with his patients to achieve their goals of pain relief, improved function and a better quality of life.

His areas of expertise and specialization include X-ray and ultrasound guided injections and procedures targeting the source of a patient’s pain. Some examples include: painful diabetic neuropathy, radio-frequency ablation, epidural steroid injections, low back nerve blocks, neck nerve blocks, injections for arthritis, knee injections, knee nerve ablations, spinal cord stimulation, interventional treatment for peripheral neuropathy, interventional treatment for CRPS, injections for sciatica, pain management for fibromyalgia, pain management for rheumatological diseases, pain management before and after surgery, cancer pain management, and pain management for lumbar spinal stenosis.

Pertaining to his educational pursuits, Dr. Omar received his medical degree from St. George’s University School of Medicine. He completed his residency in Anesthesiology at the prestigious Boston University and then went on to complete an ACGME accredited fellowship in Interventional Pain Medicine at the distinguished program through the Department of Neurology at University of South Florida. He has also gained valuable experience working at Moffitt Cancer Center, Veterans Affairs, and Tampa General Hospital.

In order to stay up to date in his field, Dr. Omar remains an active member of several professional societies, including the American Society of Pain and Neuroscience, the North American Neuromodulation Society, and the American Society of Anesthesiologists. 

Interventional pain management or interventional pain medicine is a medical subspecialty defined by the National Uniforms Claims Committee (NUCC) as, “ invasive interventions such as the discipline of medicine devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of pain related disorders principally with the application of interventional techniques in managing sub acute, chronic, persistent, and intractable pain, independently or in conjunction with other modalities of treatment.” Rather than just prescribing medication or only recommending physical therapy, an interventional pain management specialist utilizes all sources of treatment to eliminate pain in the fastest and most effective way possible for each individual patient.

As a testament to his success, Dr. Omar has been the recipient of the Chairman of the MEC Scholarship by Hackensack University Medical Center/St George’s University in 2012, and the Legacy Award by Rutgers University in 2009. He was also named a Top Doctor for 2022 by Best in Florida Magazine.

On a more personal note, he is fluent in both English and Arabic. In his free time he loves catching up with family and friends and
