For interventional pain management in La Mesa's Grossmont area, John Qian, MD operates Sage Pain & Wellness Institute from an office on Jackson Drive near Sharp Grossmont Hospital. He is board certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, earned his medical degree from Bengbu Medical College, and completed his PM&R residency at Loma Linda University Medical Center followed by a pain fellowship at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences—a training sequence reflected in his multimodal approach that includes complementary provider coordination with practices such as Bodywork 4 Health for manual therapy integration. His clinical scope spans interventional injections, electrodiagnostic testing via EMG and nerve conduction studies, and intrathecal pain pump management for complex chronic pain syndromes. Affiliated with Sharp Grossmont Hospital, the practice handles acute pain escalations that may originate from facilities including Sharp Grossmont Express Care when initial triage identifies radiculopathy or neuropathic pain requiring specialist-level intervention. Highest-acuity services include fluoroscopy-guided transforaminal epidural steroid injections, spinal cord stimulator implantation trials, and intrathecal pump dose titration for refractory cancer pain.
