He has also authored several publications and presentations on topics of chronic pain. Prior to joining Louisville Orthopaedic Clinic, Dr. Compton served as Medical Director of the Pain Center at Schneck Medical Center in Seymour, Indiana, for six years.
Dr. Compton was born and raised in Somerset, Kentucky. He earned his undergraduate degree at Murray State University, and his M.D. from the University of Louisville School of Medicine. He then completed his residency in anesthesiology at the University of Louisville, receiving honors as the outstanding resident in pain medicine.

Dr. Compton utilizes a multimodal treatment approach to managing pain, with goals of minimizing the need to rely on opioid pain medication (narcotics). He offers numerous minimally invasive procedural options, when appropriate, to restore function and reduce pain for his patients.
Real Hope for Patients in Pain. Living with pain, whether chronic or acute, is incredibly frustrating and disheartening. Dr. Compton understands. That’s why he merges evidence-based techniques from multiple disciplines to help his patients better manage and recover from painful symptoms – without relying on potentially addictive narcotics. For many patients with chronic pain from neurological and spine conditions, surgery is not necessary to achieve improved mobility and a better quality of life.
“Many patients suffer from debilitating symptoms that can lead them to believe that major surgery is their only option,” says Dr. Compton. “Sometimes surgery is clinically appropriate, but the majority of patients can benefit significantly from conservative methods and minimally invasive treatments.”
Don’t settle for a life with pain. If you are ready to find relief from your symptoms, turn to Dr. Compton to receive the compassionate, personalized care you need and deserve. He will carefully listen to your concerns, pinpoint the root of your symptoms, and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you get back on the move.
