Dr. John “Daniel” Frugé is a fellowship-trained interventional pain medicine specialist, board certified in both Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Pain Medicine. He specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic spine conditions through minimally invasive procedures.

He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Loyola University in New Orleans before completing medical school, residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and fellowship training in Interventional Pain Medicine at Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans.

Dr. Frugé’s expertise includes epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, kyphoplasty, and other advanced interventions. He also performs nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electromyography (EMG) to accurately evaluate nerve and muscle disorders.
