Board-certified in anesthesiology with a pain management fellowship from NYU Medical Center, Alicja Steiner, MD treats chronic pain conditions from her practice on Fifth Avenue in downtown San Diego's Bankers Hill. The clinic's interventional approach to spinal stenosis, radiculopathy, and complex regional pain syndrome frequently involves coordinated rehabilitation with physical therapy providers such as THRIVE Physical Therapy San Diego in the same neighborhood. Treatment protocols include fluoroscopy-guided epidural steroid injections, facet joint blocks, medial branch nerve ablation, and spinal cord stimulator trials for patients who have not responded to conservative management. The practice's multilingual staff serves patients in English, Polish, and Russian while managing fibromyalgia, cancer-related pain, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy, with complementary neuromusculoskeletal care available at Swell Chiropractic nearby on the Bankers Hill corridor. Highest-complexity interventions include permanent spinal cord stimulator implantation and intrathecal drug delivery system placement for refractory cancer pain and failed back surgery syndrome.
