Daniel Kline, MD, is a board-certified interventional pain management specialist that provides pain management and spine care. He specializes in utilizing a comprehensive and compassionate approach to diagnose and treat the source of pain. The most common conditions that Dr. Kline treats include radiculopathy, sacroiliac (SI joint) pain, hip joint pain, and painful discs and facet joints in the neck and back. He’s an expert in performing image-guided procedures such as transforaminal epidural steroid injections, medial branch blocks, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, kyphoplasty and intra-articular SI and hip joint injections. Dr. Kline is committed to providing a caring and thorough approach to accurately diagnose and treat the source of pain in order to restore functionality to those with painful conditions.
Dr. Kline graduated with a medical degree from the University of Virginia School of Medicine in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2008. He completed a residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York City. Dr. Kline’s interest in painful conditions of the spine led him to undertake an interventional spine care fellowship at Virginia iSpine Physicians in Richmond, Virginia. During his time there, Dr. Kline was involved in clinical trials investigating innovative treatments for spinal disorders. He also co-authored three book chapters with a focus on interventional spine care.
Dr. Kline has been in private practice for five years. Prior to this, he started and directed a hospital-based interventional spine program. His primary interest is the use of minimally invasive image-guided procedures to treat painful spine conditions. He aims to use his expertise to improve function and reduce pain for patients who have painful spine conditions and minimize the use of medications wherever possible.
