Overview
My primary interest in pain medicine is interventional pain management procedures. My passion is neuromodulation and I am excited to be on the cutting edge of that field. I perform both spinal cord stimulation and dorsal root ganglion stimulation procedures for patients with specific types of chronic pain. I have had many positive experiences with patients engaging in these types of advanced pain treatment modalities and look forward extending these treatments to other patients.

Office
I am the interim chief of the pain medicine division and medical director of the Duke Raleigh Pain Clinic and have been in the clinical practice since 2007. Prior to joining Duke, I practiced at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, and the University of Virginia, serving as both clinic director and director of the pain medicine fellowship. I enjoy practicing pain medicine because of the close interaction with patients who may not always have a clearly identified reason for the pain and suffering they experience. I take a patient-centered approach to care and focus on achieving functional improvement goals and decreasing pain and suffering. Often, this involves multimodal therapies, such as therapy, medications, and interventional procedures. Outside of work, I enjoy outdoor activities with my family. Our favorites are soccer, skiing, hiking, camping, and bicycling. Dr. Vorenkamp is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Fibromyalgia. His top areas of expertise are Chronic Pain, Acute Pain, Neuralgia, and Sciatica.
