NorCal Pain Treatment Center Launches PatchRx to Strengthen Adherence and Outcomes

NorCal Pain and Treatment Center launched PatchRx's innovative medication management technology to further their patient-centered, comprehensive approach to pain management.

TURLOCK, Calif. and NEW YORK, March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NorCal Pain and Treatment Center is setting a new standard for proactive medication management by partnering with PatchRx, a leader in remote monitoring and medication adherence solutions. Since 2019, NorCal Pain Treatment Center has led the Central Valley in pain management care with a strong track record of innovation and patient-centered care. This partnership continues NorCal's commitment to their patients by providing proactive tools for patients to manage their medications and transparency for their providers to better assist in care.

While millions of Americans rely on chronic opioid therapy to maintain pain control and daily living, the risk of these medication treatment regimens are well known. Managing chronic pain, a multi-faceted and complex disease, requires an individualized, proactive, and comprehensive approach. Providers at NorCal Pain Treatment Center employ a range of tools to ensure compliance and efficacy. In an effort to further improve compliance, and unlock proactive intervention capabilities, NorCal Pain has tapped PatchRx to help implement a first of its kind remote monitoring program.

PatchRx is a leader in the remote monitoring space, utilizing its novel prescription bottle sensors to provide real-time, real-world medication adherence data. This data unlocks new insights for Pain Management providers, who leverage the novel insights from PatchRx into early intervention and improved outcomes for patients. With three years of experience across tens of thousands of patients in the Pain Management space, PatchRx has seen first hand how pairing this data with innovative practice approaches can increase adherence and improve patients' livelihoods.

"At NorCal Pain Treatment Center, we are committed to leveraging innovative solutions to enhance patient care and improve treatment outcomes," says Dr. David Lindenberg, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of NorCal Pain and Treatment Center. "Partnering with PatchRx allows our providers to monitor medication adherence in real time, ensuring patients receive the full benefits of their prescribed treatments. This technology empowers our team to make data-driven decisions, reduce medication-related risks, and provide a higher level of personalized care. By integrating PatchRx into our practice, we are not only optimizing patient outcomes but also strengthening the connection between providers and those we serve."

NorCal Pain is a standard bearer in the Central Valley, so we are incredibly honored to partner with their phenomenal team of providers and work side by side to provide the best care for their patient populations," says Andrew Aertker, Co-Founder and CEO at PatchRx.
