Pain Management
Our comprehensive pain management approach addresses both acute and chronic conditions through personalized treatment plans. We combine interventional procedures with multidisciplinary strategies to target pain at its source. Patients receive tailored care for conditions like migraines, spine pain, and joint disorders.
Ketamine Infusions
Ketamine infusions offer innovative treatment for chronic pain conditions resistant to conventional therapies. Our specialists administer controlled doses in a monitored clinical setting to maximize effectiveness. This approach has shown promising results for complex pain syndromes and treatment-resistant cases.
Radiofrequency Ablations
Radiofrequency ablation procedures target specific nerves causing chronic pain through heat-based nerve disruption. This minimally invasive technique provides long-lasting relief for conditions affecting joints and spine. Our board-certified physicians ensure precise application using advanced imaging guidance.
Spinal Column Stimulators
Spinal column stimulators deliver targeted electrical impulses to interrupt pain signals reaching the brain. We implant these devices for patients with severe, persistent back and limb pain. Our team provides comprehensive evaluation and post-implantation programming to optimize pain relief.
Migraine Treatment
Our migraine treatment program combines preventive strategies with acute intervention protocols for chronic headache sufferers. We utilize both pharmaceutical and interventional approaches tailored to individual migraine patterns. Patients receive education on trigger management and lifestyle modifications to reduce episode frequency.

Ive always given five very enthusiastic stars for Dr. Stinson and his nursing team, especially Tim and Hope. However, in my most recent experience, none of those people were there, and the quality of care was lessened. There were relaxed standards for the procedure room where sterile
technique is supposed to be used and no oxygen support during the procedure which always made me feel a little safer. The warm blankets always helped with my anxiety over procedures, and those werent available either. Everyone was kind and the procedure went fine, so the above changes have more to do with comfort

After dealing with lower back pain for 7 years and trying everything available in the Chiropractic sector, I was referred to this clinic by my physical therapist. Dr Sola Olamikan and his team are wonderful! He provided me a level of education on the how and why of my issues, and offered different levels of treatment and procedures. He has such a warm and upbeat personality that completely melts your stress and anxiety away. Im so lucky to have finally found a doctor who cares about my outcome. Looking forward to relieving this chronic pain!

I wish I could give zero stars. I was referred to this office by my ins. the day after they got my referral they denied me as a pt because I want to find other ways of managing my pain than meds once I can get off of them. I still need to see a pain management office to help me ween of meds and help with pain management. my previous office only gave pills and wouldn't let me seek other forms of pain management because they won't get paid. The fact of the matter is I need a pain management dr to let me know if the course I am seeking will help my pain or not and prescribe it as a treatment but no

Amazing staff! I've been a patient for several years and have always been grateful that they understand that it's not just about pain relief, but getting back to an active lifestyle! (I can pick my kids up again!) I also appreciate that their proactive approach to pain management differs from other practices. They are not pill pushers, and Dr. Stinson is known in medical circles for his stance against opioid dependance. I can't say enough, but you are in good hands with this group!

I have been seeing Doctor Stinson and his staff at Advanced Pain Centers of Alaska for the last 12 years, and consider him a lifesaver! Too many surgeons don't refer patients to a pain management specialist when they feel there is nothing more they can do surgically, leaving people struggling with chronic pain. I shattered L2 in an accident (which by all rights should have left me paralyzed) and had to have L1-L3 fused. Surgery revealed I had osteoporosis in my spine, and my vertebrae didn't hold the screws properly. A significant curve developed, which has progressively compressed the disks below

South Anchorage Surgery Center, LLC- this center is great. They are competitive price with everyone else. Quality of doctors is better. And the support is all about the client. And getting them to a better place of health and achieve a higher quality of life. Because of this facility I am able to have a good quality of life, not one of sitting home in pain. After many surgeries Dr. Stinson has been able to keep me pain free without taking medication daily. He has diagnosed many issues that I have spent years with other doctors that have no clue.
