Born in New Jersey, raised in South Florida, and now proud to be a North Carolinian since 2009, I am excited to offer comprehensive pain management services at Pain and Wellness Solutions of the Carolinas (PWSC) in Durham.  We love living in the Triangle and taking care of patients from every part of the state and from all kinds of backgrounds.  I find a special sense of purpose as I connect with fellow veterans in the area as well, having proudly served in the United States Air Force as a flight surgeon both domestically and overseas. 

I am a board certified anesthesiologist with additional fellowship and accreditation in pain management. I completed my residency at Emory University in Atlanta and my fellowship at Rush University in Chicago. Previously, I was the pain medicine fellowship director and Medical Director of the UNC Pain Management Center.  I am a graduate of MIT and received my medical degree from the George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

 At PWSC, our Mission is straightforward - to treat chronic and subacute pain while placing the patient at the center of his or her care. I am Dr. Manoj Bobby Wunnava, and I bring my compassioned experience and expertise in interventional and comprehensive pain management to Durham. I am committed to treating the complex pain patient and helping individuals live healthy and fulfilling lives.   We can incorporate novel and complementary therapies to improve patients' lives.

We treat all types of chronic pain, specialize in interventional pain treatments (epidural treatments, radiofrequency ablations, joint injections, nerve blocks, spinal cord stimulation), provide IV ketamine for pain and psychiatric conditions, and offer comprehensive pain management with and without medication therapy as well.  We can also provide medication assisted treatment for patients with opioid abuse disorder and hard to treat pain.  Novel therapies include horizontal therapy and acoustic wave therapy.
