About

Alpine Advanced Pain Management at 1392 Tavern Road in Alpine operates as a pain medicine anesthesiology practice under NPI 1205210523, treating chronic and acute pain conditions along the Tavern Road commercial connector near I-8. The practice's diagnostic workflow incorporates pathology-guided tissue analysis and imaging interpretation to isolate pain generators before interventional procedures, a triage sequence that parallels the acute-care intake at Alpine Urgent Care on Alpine Boulevard for patients presenting with emergent musculoskeletal injuries. Board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation since 1982, the clinic's physician applies interventional pain management training spanning fluoroscopic-guided injection technique and neuromodulation to East County San Diego's chronic pain population. Treatment protocols span epidural steroid injections, facet joint blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and spinal cord stimulation for patients whose conditions have not responded to conservative therapy. Post-procedural rehabilitation plans coordinate with Alpine Physical Therapy Center & Wellness Center on Alpine Boulevard for functional recovery following nerve-block and ablation procedures. Highest-tier interventions include implantable spinal cord stimulator trials and permanent generator placements for complex regional pain syndrome and failed back surgery syndrome.
