When you have severe pain in your spine or areas affected by your spine, it can have debilitating effects on your life, well-being, and happiness. Dealing with the pain on your own can be overwhelming, and that’s why our pain management team at New York Spine Specialist is here to provide you the treatment you need. We have the experience and expertise needed to offer procedures and interventions to alleviate symptoms from spine-related conditions. If you are living with the painful effects of spine injuries or accidents, our pain management specialists want to hear from you and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
What Is a Pain Management Specialist?
When you are in pain, it may be your first instinct to reach for some type of pain reliever to provide temporary relief. If, however, you are dealing with chronic pain, the common pain relievers will not suffice or give a long-lasting respite from your suffering. It is for this type of pain that you may consider contacting and setting up a consultation with a pain management specialist to discuss your condition and develop a treatment plan.
A pain management specialist is a doctor who is also an expert in the prevention, assessment, and treatment of pain. Your specific situation will likely determine what type of pain management expert you consult. This may include a general medical physician, a doctor who focuses on interventions and the physical structure of anatomy, rehabilitation, and psychology or psychiatry.
At New York Spine Specialist, our team specializes in the interventional treatment of common and complex problems related to the spine. Our focus is helping you find relief from your pain through non-narcotic, interventional pain management. When it comes to the spine, pain has the ability to completely interrupt and derail your normal way of life, and our experts want to help you restore your mobility and to get your pain-free life back.

Pain Management Treatments
Every patient’s situation is unique to them, and this is why we will evaluate your case individually before we begin to develop a treatment plan. Though you may have pain as a result of an accident or chronic illness that we have seen in other patients, there may also be other compounding factors which complicate your case or make certain treatment methods unnecessary or unaccessible. Our specialists want to make sure that you get the best possible treatment for your pain, so we will diagnose your injury or pain source and work from there to strategize the proper pain management.
Before treatment begins, our initial appointment may include a physical exam, inquiries into your medical history, a pain assessment, and diagnostic imaging such as x-rays, MRIs, or CAT scans. We want to make sure that we are able to thoroughly evaluate your situation and determine the best course of action for your treatment and pain management. Among our treatment options we may suggest are:
- non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication
- physical therapy
- rest
- hot and cold packs
- bracing
- steroid medication injections
- rehabilitation program
- mobility exercises
- weight loss
- Minimally invasive surgery
- Surgery (in the most extreme cases and depending on the source of the pain)
We may find that a combination of some of these treatments is the best solution for your pain, or we may have to alter the strategy if the pain does not subside or improve after a number of weeks. Our specialists will always be available to answer your questions and address your concerns to make sure that you are on the right path to a pain-free life. We strive to treat our patients like family, and we never want our family to be in pain.
