Pain relief begins with being understood. At Neurology & Pain Treatment, in Milwaukee, that understanding is grounded in both clinical precision and a broader view of healing—one that looks beyond symptoms to the systems beneath them.

Dr. Neal Pollack, Neurology & Pain Treatment, Milwaukee

Led by Dr. Neal Pollack, a board-certified neurologist with decades of experience, the practice reflects an evolution in care. After years of relying on conventional tools such as pharmaceuticals and surgical referrals, Dr. Pollack began to recognize their limitations. While often necessary, these approaches did not always resolve the root of chronic pain or neurological dysfunction. His work has since expanded to integrate non-surgical, root-cause therapies that support the body’s capacity to heal. 

Dr. Bridget Harcus, Doctor of Nursing Practice and board-certified family nurse practitioner, contributes extensive expertise in regenerative medicine. Her work focuses on therapies that stimulate the body’s natural repair processes, strengthening damaged tissues and restoring function. This collaborative, patient-centered approach emphasizes individualized care rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Relieving Pain at the Root

Today, the clinic addresses a wide spectrum of
concerns, including:

• Head, neck and back pain
• Numbness and tingling
• Weakness
• Dizziness and imbalance
• Cognitive changes
• Arthritis pain
• Temporomandibular Joint Pain (TMJ)
• Fibromyalgia-related pain
• Migraines and Headaches
• Hip, shoulder and joint pain

Many conditions, especially back pain, are frequently linked to nerve compression, often compounded by muscular compensation patterns that develop over time.

Conventional treatments such as injections, generalized physical therapy and surgery can offer partial relief, but outcomes are often inconsistent. Through an integrative model, patients commonly experience more substantial and lasting improvement.

Among the many patients who have found substantial healing, one shares, “Dr. Pollack knows the body and its proper function. He has given me priceless insight to understand what it is that can be done to alleviate my pain.” 

Another adds, “Dr. Pollack properly diagnosed me when MANY others failed. He is very attentive, courteous and respectful. He is an excellent doctor and I would highly recommend him.” A third reaffirms, “[He] was very compassionate and gave me many answers and options besides pain medications. I highly suggest you see Dr. Pollack.” 

These stories help to share that healing and pain relief are possible for many who have lost hope, and there are many treatments beyond just medication to consider. Here are some that Dr. Pollack and his team specialize in.

Prolotherapy: Eliminating Pain without Surgery

A cornerstone of the clinic’s regenerative approach, prolotherapy involves injecting a natural solution into weakened ligaments, tendons or joint spaces. This stimulates the body’s healing response, encouraging tissue repair and stabilization. As a non-surgical, in-office treatment, it offers a lower-risk and more cost-effective alternative to surgery, with minimal downtime and a focus on long-term structural support.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Used primarily for disc-related low back pain, spinal decompression therapy applies gentle, controlled forces to the spine. This process promotes the flow of oxygen, water and nutrients into injured discs and creates space to reduce nerve pressure. The result is both structural realignment and an environment that supports natural healing.

Perineural Injection Therapy

This therapy targets irritated or damaged superficial nerves that can perpetuate chronic pain. By calming inflammatory signaling and supporting nerve repair, perineural injection therapy helps address pain that persists even after the original injury has healed, offering relief at a neurological level.

Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy

Through skilled, hands-on techniques, osteopathic manipulative therapy works to restore alignment, improve circulation and regulate nervous system function. This manual approach can relieve muscle and joint pain while supporting the body’s overall structural and energetic balance.

“By listening carefully, examining thoroughly, properly diagnosing and combining conventional and alternative treatments, meaningful relief becomes possible,” the team shares.

For those navigating persistent pain or seeking alternatives to surgery, Neurology & Pain Treatment offers a different path—one rooted in clarity, compassion and the belief that healing remains within reach, reflected in decades of grateful patients.
