Alpenglow Pain & Wellness
About Alpenglow Pain & Wellness
Located in Anchorage, Alaska, Alpenglow Pain & Wellness is a board‑certified interventional pain and regenerative orthopedics center dedicated to non‑surgical joint pain relief and comprehensive pain management. The practice blends advanced interventional techniques with cutting‑edge regenerative therapies to address chronic musculoskeletal conditions across the spine, elbow, ankle, foot, hand, and wrist. The solution philosophy centers on regenerative medicine. Patients receive ultrasound‑guided platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) injections, stem‑cell‑derived therapies, and cooled radiofrequency ablation to stimulate the body’s natural healing pathways while minimizing medication use. In addition to PRP and stem‑cell procedures, the team offers epidural PRP, ultrasound‑guided PRP for joints, tendons, ligaments, and a full suite of infusion therapies—including NAD+, vitamin C, methylene‑blue, and glutathione—to support cellular repair and longevity. Authority stems from the leadership of Dr. Nichelle C. Renk, MD, a board‑certified anesthesiologist and interventional pain physician with a distinguished Air Force career, and Dr. Gavin Nixon, DO, a board‑certified physiatrist. Together with a multidisciplinary team of physician assistants, licensed massage therapists, and advanced practice nurses, they provide evidence‑based care. The practice’s affiliation with Regenexx and its use of high‑concentration cell‑based injectates underscore its commitment to regenerative orthopedics and non‑surgical joint pain relief. Alpenglow Pain & Wellness also integrates complementary modalities such as acupuncture, pain psychology, nutritional counseling, and tailored physical‑therapy programs. This holistic, multimodal approach ensures each patient receives a personalized plan that addresses the root cause of pain, restores function, and improves quality of life.
