As an interventional pain physician, Dr. Nichelle Renk believes the most successful treatment involves identifying the appropriate diagnosis and then implementing a combination of modalities truly tailored to her patient. This multidisciplinary approach to pain management includes the potential use of procedures, limited use of medications, physical therapy, braces and devices, pain psychology, complementary alternative medicine (e.g. acupuncture), and nutrition/lifestyle modification. With a precise diagnosis and multifaceted plan, Dr. Renk achieves dramatic long-lasting results for her patients.
Dr. Renk is passionate about getting to know and educating her patient. She goes over every diagnosis and each component of the plan in detail. Dr. Renk uses anatomical models and reviews the imaging with the patient to make sure the diagnosis is well understood. She provides a personalized handout at the end of the first visit listing the patient's identified diagnoses and the plan for each multidisciplinary modality.
Dr. Renk performs advanced procedures head-to-toe but specializes in procedures for the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, sacroiliac joint, and other nerves and joints of the body. Dr. Renk is one of a few pain management physicians in Alaska to perform cooled radiofrequency procedures, a cutting-edge technology that creates a unique shaped and larger radiofrequency lesion to interrupt pain in the patient's painful area of the body. Additionally, Dr. Renk performs epidural platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections which can heal joints or diseased discs and nerves in the spine. She plans on adding ultrasound-guided platelet rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell injections for joints, tendons, ligaments, and fluoroscopic-guided intervertebral disc platelet rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell injections to her practice in the near future. Finally, Dr. Renk relieves chronic migraine headaches with Botox injections.
Dr. Renk completed her Medical Doctorate (M.D.) at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia, Anesthesiology residency at George Washington University Hospital in Washington DC, and Interventional Pain Medicine fellowship at Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto, California. She is board-certified in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine by the American Board of Anesthesiology.
For the four years prior to joining a private practice, Dr. Renk served in the United States Air Force as a Major and Director of the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) Pain Management Clinic. She had a great experience taking care of her fellow airmen, troops, retirees, dependents, and VA beneficiaries. She won several awards in her tenure there and consistently achieved 99% or greater patient satisfaction.
Outside of work, Dr. Renk enjoys spending time with her family, hiking, and traveling.

I feel better already and I could not ask for better care!! Thank you all so much!!
Always very friendly and attentive to my needs and comfort. Very knowledgeable and helpful! Highly recommend
It was excellent
There has never been a time in over 6 years as being Dr. Renk’s patient that I felt less than thankful and blessed.
A different experience from previous visits. Not a intense. But, I enjoyed the solitude.
It was an informative experience, although overwhelming it helped me to understand why Iv had the issues Iv had all my life.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Renk for almost a year, and I can’t say enough good things about her and her practice. She and her staff are very professional, yet extremely friendly and sweet. The facility is state of the art, modern, and clean. She was able to diagnose me, and help me find pain management solutions using what I would call a whole-person approach. She’s patient-driven, listens, and doesn’t push me to do anything I’m not yet comfortable with. I’ve been slowly building a trust based medical provider/patient relationship with her, and trying new things. Don’t hesitate to tell her anything you have learned/know about your body because she will listen to you and help you tailor your care accordingly. She’s also realistic about treatment outcomes. Her staff is easy to reach through the portal for simple questions or thoughts. They also sell all kinds of supplements and CBD products for convenience.
After being seen several times in this clinic, I continue to be impressed and very satisfied with the care from Dr. Renk and her staff. They are the best and I highly recommend them. Also their office is very aesthetically pleasing and you are put at ease and know you're in caring hands when you enter the door. They have so much to offer and they always go above and beyond.
The staff are Amazing - very friendly and professional. Always on time fr your appointment.
I love seeing Dr. Renk and her staff. They are all so kind and encouraging.
Most excellent!
I love Dr. Renk and her staff. They are friendly, efficient, caring and knowledgeable.
As always Dr. Renk is wonderful with listening to my concerns and making sure that my pain levels are staying at a low rate and that my prior treatments are working. She's caring and passionate about the well being of her patients. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with chronic pain.
Dr Renk always makes sure that all of my concerns are answered and that I never leave without going over everything.
Dr Renk listens to her patients and understands what their needs are. She explains all of the options to minimize pain, not just "toss you some medicine." I recommend Dr Renk for all pain management (she's been my pain management physician for over 8 years!)! Call to make an appointment today!!
Dr. Renk and her team is fantastic
Dr Renk is amazing an doctor, one that actually listens to her patients. Wouldn’t go anywhere else<3
Dr, Renk is awesome, I wish she was my everything dr . Her proceedures work woders
Dr Renk has been treating my pain for 8 years now and she listens at every visit. She's very kind and has excellent bedside manners! Dr Renk will help you find ways to reduce pain and will find the best options to fit your needs. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Nichelle Renk to anyone that needs pain management as I trust her completely.
It is always a pleasure and a joy to see Dr. Rent, she does one of the things that very few doctors do, She listens! I'd been to other pain management doctors but Dr. Renk is the best because she thinks outside the box to help get me out of pain or at least get my pain level to a manageable place. Dr. Renk cares about her patients, she doesn't just tell you this is what you should do, she talks to you about a plan and if there isn't any of the plan you don't like or want to do, she's good with that! Support staff is awesome as well! From the front desk people to the people who deal with the insurance and the medical staff, it's a really great place to go, for me it's like going home!
I can't complain at all! I am very impressed, it takes a lot to impress me but everyone there is oh so nice! Dr Renk is amazing I think the procedures they give work a lot better plus it doesn't hurt during the procedure I won't go anywhere else! Awesome place and people
Clean facilities. Competent Compassionate Professional team. Timely Attention. Love everything Dr. Renk has contributed to my life.
