Iron Path Capital, a private equity firm focused on building differentiated businesses in the healthcare and specialty industrials sectors, is pleased to announce that Capitol Pain Institute (CPI) is entering the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan market via the acquisition of Nura Pain Clinics (Nura). This partnership expands CPI’s network of clinics and ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) in the Midwest, strengthening the ability to provide exceptional care to patients with chronic pain in the region. CPI’s expansion to Minnesota marks the company’s sixth state in its national platform. CPI currently operates in Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and Texas.

Minnesota is one of the fastest-growing states in the Midwest and is known for having a high-quality healthcare system. According to a Commonwealth Fund report, Minnesota ranks second in the United States for healthcare access, quality, and outcomes. This made it an attractive and natural next entry market for CPI.

“We are thrilled to continue growing our national network, and I feel very strongly that Nura Pain Clinic is the right team with whom to enter the Minnesota market,” said CPI founder and CEO Matt Schocket, M.D. “Nura’s commitment to providing personalized and patient-centric care aligns with our values at CPI. We are excited to work together as we expand our reach and treat more patients battling chronic pain with the innovative care they deserve.”

“Joining forces with CPI allows us to continue providing our patients with advanced quality care they have come to expect from Nura, while also giving us access to additional resources that will help us expand our services,” said Nura founder and CEO David Schultz, M.D. “We look forward to working with CPI and providing exceptional care and improving the lives of patients across Minnesota suffering from chronic pain.”

Nura is recognized in Minnesota and the overall Interventional Pain Management (IPM) community for its expertise in intrathecal pain pump implants and spinal cord stimulator implants. Dr. Schultz is a thought leader who has published multiple research studies on the efficacy of these treatments. A study designed by Dr. Schultz and subsequent article published in the Neuromodulation Journal found that 94% of patients reported improved pain control after pump implantation, 77.6% reported improved physical functioning, and 38.9% completely discontinued oral medication. Once a pain pump is implanted, it needs to be regularly refilled. To best serve patients, Nura also provides pharmacy and home care services to ensure the quality of their medication, as well as support patients who may be immobile or lack caretakers to bring them to the clinic for refills.

“Iron Path is investing behind Nura because of its strong clinical leadership in Dr. Schultz, reputation for compliance and quality patient care, high mix of specialty procedures, and contribution to scientific research that advances the entire IPM field,” said Iron Path Capital co-founder Rob Reistetter. “We are excited to have him join us as Chief Medical Officer of the Capitol Pain platform.”

CPI and Nura are committed to providing the most advanced, evidence-based pain management treatments available. The team of expert physicians and support staff work together to create individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs that are holistic and multidisciplinary, with the goal of reducing pain, improving function, and enhancing overall quality of life.

“As we embark on this journey with a new partner, we’re excited to advance our mission in finding the right talent and partnerships to bring our chronic pain treatment platform nationwide,” said Iron Path Capital co-founder Scott Mraz. “We look forward to the future and the positive impact on our partners, patients, and communities we serve.”
