An Anchorage interventional pain clinic that combines spinal and nerve procedures with platelet-rich plasma and stem cell injections delivered through the Regenexx network.
Alpenglow Pain and Wellness is an interventional pain management clinic in South Anchorage, Alaska, led by Dr Nichelle Renk. Interventional pain management means diagnosing where pain is coming from and then treating it with targeted injections and small procedures. The clinic says it builds a plan around each patient's condition and goals rather than applying a single approach.
Its procedural work includes radiofrequency ablation, medial branch blocks, epidural and steroid injections, nerve blocks, trigger point injections, spinal cord stimulator trials, kyphoplasty for spinal fractures, and nerve testing using electromyography and nerve conduction studies. It also uses botulinum toxin, sold as Botox and Xeomin, for migraine, cervical dystonia, arm spasticity and teeth grinding.
Regenerative treatment is offered as platelet-rich plasma and stem cell therapy, delivered through the Regenexx platform, a national network with its own treatment protocols. The website names platelet-rich plasma and stem cells but does not on these pages specify which tissue the stem cells come from, so a patient should ask directly whether bone marrow, fat or another source is used. The clinic also offers a range of infusions, including ketamine, glutathione, methylene blue, saline and vitamins, plus red light therapy and massage.
The clinic lists a wide range of conditions. Ask specifically what evidence supports the use of regenerative injections in your own condition, as the strength of evidence differs greatly from one problem to another.
The site names the treatments but not the tissue the cells are taken from, which is worth asking about.
