General Practitioners

• Arthritis

Neurologists

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Radiologist

• MRI
  Once the pain and swelling start to improve, at New York Pain Management we may recommend an MRI, physical therapy and possibly Platelet Rich Plasma(PRP) injection to try to heal the ligament.  The recovery time can be a few weeks or up to a year, depending on the severity of the ligament tear.

Surgeons

• Sciatica
  A lumbar epidural steroid injection delivers steroid medication directly to spinal nerve roots in order to reduce leg pain (also known as sciatica) and lower back pain. This pain can be caused by spinal conditions like a herniated disc or spinal stenosis, which pressures nerve roots leading out of the spine.

Dermatologists

• Lesions
  Medial Branch Blocks: Medial branch nerves are small nerves that feed out from the facet joints in the spine and carry pain signals from those joints. A medial branch nerve block briefly interrupts the pain signal being carried from a specific facet joint. If pain is improved, we can perform a rhizotomy which lesions the nerve improving pain for up to a year.

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  For an athlete, sports injuries are more than just a nuisance. Being sidelined from the activities you enjoy the most can be incredibly frustrating, especially if your pain is persistent and nagging. This chronic pain not only prevents you from participating in the sport of your choice; it also hampers your ability to function normally in everyday life.
• Physical Therapy
  Your doctor may recommend one or more of these treatments combined with physical therapy to strengthen your sports injury to prevent re-injury.
• Tennis Elbow
  Golfer’s elbow is not as common or well known as its cousin, tennis elbow. Both are forms of elbow tendinitis, which causes inflammation and pain. The difference is that tennis elbow stems from damage to tendons on the outside of the elbow, while golfer’s elbow is caused by tendons on the inside.
• Neck Pain
• Back Pain
