MAPS is a medical practice that specializes in interventional pain management, delivering a coordinated program that combines procedural relief with physical therapy and behavioral health services. It traces its origins to 1994, when founder Dr. David Schultz, an operating room anesthesiologist with expertise in regional anesthesia, identified a gap in care for people with chronic pain and a need for patient education. He assembled a multidisciplinary team to explain pain mechanisms and to offer a range of evidence-based treatments, with the aim of improving patient outcomes beyond symptom relief. The organization began with a clinic known as North Pain Institute in 1994 and later established the Pain Relief Center in Coon Rapids in 1997, ultimately expanding to multiple locations throughout the Twin Cities. Its services integrate interventional procedures with rehabilitative therapies and access to behavioral health professionals, including aquatic therapy and one-on-one mental health sessions. Based in the Minneapolis area, MAPS serves patients with chronic pain and is positioned as a regional provider of multidisciplinary pain care.
