PainTEQ is the creator of LinQ (pronounced “link”), a minimally invasive therapy for sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction.

With extensive experience in interventional pain management and a clinical professor of anesthesiology at West Virginia University, Deer brings both clinical and institutional knowledge of pain management.

“PainTEQ’s LinQ system has changed the way we treat SI joint dysfunction. This posterior approach is the safest, and I’ve seen many suffering patients experience relief immediately,” said Dr. Timothy Deer. “I’m thrilled to work alongside a group of innovators to help make LinQ more accessible across the country and help launch a comprehensive medical education program to train physicians with LinQ.”

Dr. Deer is known for extensive research published in scientific journals and online resources with topics ranging from minimally invasive disc procedures to spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulation.
