What Our Patients Say…

Went in to see Mr. Gaskin regarding some back pain that I’ve had for years. He heard me out and asked me to do some stretches and movements and figured out that it was my SI joint causing me issues. He gave me a shot that was pain free(because I’m a huge baby when it comes to needles) and I’ve been lower back pain free going on two months now. I would recommend him to anyone having daily pain. Very affordable and a great doctor. I will definitely be back if I have to be.

Frequently Asked Questions

Republic Pain & Longevity is a patient-centered practice that combines interventional pain management with health optimization programs. We diagnose and treat the source of pain through advanced diagnostics and targeted, minimally invasive therapies, while also helping patients build long-term metabolic health, hormone balance, and vitality through personalized, ongoing care.

Traditional pain management focuses on diagnosing and treating a specific pain condition through procedures like nerve blocks, injections, and radiofrequency ablation. Health Optimization takes a broader, proactive approach — using interventional procedures, diagnostic labs, imaging, diet, exercise, coaching, and lifestyle strategies to decrease inflammation, improve energy, metabolic health, and resilience, whether or not you currently have a chronic pain condition.

We treat a wide range of conditions, including knee osteoarthritis, headaches and migraines, back and neck pain, joint pain, SI joint pain and sciatica, muscle spasms and myofascial pain, nerve entrapments, post-surgical pain, TMJ/jaw pain, long COVID and more. See our Conditions page for the full list and details on each.

No. Our treatments are minimally invasive, image-guided procedures — such as nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and targeted joint or soft-tissue injections — designed to reduce pain and restore function without surgery.

The Peak Wellness Plan is our structured Health Optimization program built around advanced lab testing, a detailed clinical assessment, and a personalized care plan followed over nine months — targeting metabolic health, hormone balance, inflammation, weight, sleep, nutrition, and physical function, with ongoing follow-up to track progress. This integrated approach treats chronic pain as a whole-body issue, not just a symptom to numb – combining precise medical intervention with the lifestyle foundations that support lasting relief.

Vibility is our guided lifestyle curriculum — a structured, self-paced resource that supports patients through nutrition, movement, recovery, and everyday habit changes alongside their clinical care. Real-time reporting on weight, sleep, energy, digestion, focus, and mood keeps you accountable.

Yes. Peptide therapy and IV hydration are available individually or as part of our health optimization offerings, and can be incorporated into your personalized care plan where appropriate.

For patients who prefer to pay out of pocket or whose plan doesn’t cover a given service, we offer financing through Cherry Financial. [Insurance acceptance policy to be confirmed with client before publishing — see note below.]

Your first visit is a consultation with our team to review your history, any prior imaging or labs, and your goals — whether that’s pain relief, health optimization, or both. From there, we build a personalized plan, which may include additional diagnostics, a procedure, or enrollment in a health optimization program.
