About the Author
Dr. Thomas Buchheit completed his residency in anesthesiology and perioperative care at the University of California, San Francisco, and his fellowship in interventional pain management at Wake Forest University. During the first decade of his career, he cared for patients with spine and joint disease in private practice. In 2010, he moved his practice to Duke University, where he began studying nerve injury pain and served as division chief for pain medicine. During his academic career, Dr. Buchheit investigated the immune basis of pain relief following injury and the mechanisms behind regenerative therapies, including platelet-rich plasma, stem cells, and autologous conditioned serum. He has led several studies funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense. In 2025, Dr. Buchheit founded Triangle Regen Medicine and Biologics Center in Chapel Hill, NC, to bring a wide range of regenerative therapies to patients. He now serves as an adjunct associate professor at Duke and continues to work with scientists at the Center for Translational Pain Medicine. In his free time, you may find Dr. Buchheit hiking in the woods, on a single-track mountain bike trail, or cooking.
