Therapeutic Botox
FDA-approved Botox injections for chronic migraine treatment involve precise muscle targeting to block pain signals. This minimally invasive procedure offers up to 12 weeks of relief by interrupting pain transmission pathways. Patients typically experience reduced headache frequency after two treatment cycles, with effects building over 6 months. Covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, this service requires prior failed preventative treatments for approval.
Epidural Steroid Injections
Targeted corticosteroid injections treat nerve-related back and neck pain caused by herniated discs or spinal stenosis. The procedure delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to the epidural space, providing pain relief lasting from days to years. Ideal candidates include patients with sciatica, degenerative disc disease, or post-surgical pain. Most patients resume physical therapy within days following treatment.
Joint Pain Treatment
Specialized injections address shoulder, hip, and knee pain from arthritis or bursitis. Using ultrasound guidance, we administer corticosteroid-anesthetic combinations directly into affected joints for immediate inflammation reduction. Treatments typically provide 2-3 days of initial relief, with long-term benefits developing over weeks. Patients receive post-injection activity guidelines to maximize treatment effectiveness.
Trigger Point Injections
Targeted injections treat chronic muscle knots in back, neck, and limb regions. The procedure involves depositing small medication doses into hyperirritable muscle bands to break pain cycles. Most sessions treat multiple trigger points simultaneously, with immediate pain relief followed by gradual steroid effectiveness over days. Recommended for patients unresponsive to physical therapy or medication management.
Weight Loss Program
Personalized weight loss plans combine InBody composition analysis with customized nutrition and fitness protocols. Our program features monthly body scans, weekly coaching sessions, and medication-assisted options like Wegovy. Patients receive tailored meal plans aligned with metabolic profiles, alongside lifestyle coaching addressing sleep, stress, and hydration factors affecting weight management outcomes.

This has to be one of the most poorly run medical offices in San Diego. The front office staff is very rude. While the doctor is nice the overall experience was terrible. Ive never been to a professional office where they charge an extra fee to use a credit card. To rub salt in the wound when I went to pick my pain meds they put in the wrong prescription.

I was referred here hoping they would be able to help with my lower back pain. I've had about 5 visits and nothing works. The wait time to be called inside is ridiculously long. Takes about 45-1hr for a nurse to take you to a room then you wait another 45 minutes just to see Doctor Steiner for 5 minutes. She's always in a rush, doesn't seem like she cares or pays attention to what you say. The pain hasn't gone away and her answer to it is getting shots which make the pain worse. Feels like I'm wasting my time and seeing the wrong person to help my pain.

Great office staff, great doctor. She Listens and is very thorough. Staff is kind and polite. Ive been to 2 previous pain management doctors that made me feel like running out the door. Dr. Steiners practice is by far a better quality of human beings who care about their careers and their patients. I feel welcome and cared for here.
