Reviews
Expert Pain Management Care
Living in Astoria means daily stair climbing in walk-up buildings, long subway commutes to Manhattan, and walking everywhere from Ditmars Boulevard down to the Long Island City border. When chronic pain interferes with that mobility, you lose your independence and the vibrant lifestyle that makes this neighborhood worth living in.
You get targeted pain relief that lets you navigate your daily routine without limitation. Our interventional procedures, physical therapy protocols, and medication management plans are designed for active urban residents who need to stay mobile. We understand that pain management for Astoria patients means preserving your ability to take the N train to work, carry groceries up three flights, and enjoy everything from Astoria Park to the restaurants along 30th Avenue.
Most patients experience significant pain reduction within 2-4 weeks of starting treatment. We offer same-day appointments because we know chronic pain doesn’t wait for convenient scheduling. Evening hours available for professionals commuting to Manhattan who can’t take time off work.
Astoria Pain Specialists
NY Spine Medicine has provided pain management services throughout Queens for nearly two decades, with deep experience treating the diverse Astoria community. Our physicians are board-certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology with fellowship training in interventional pain management. We’ve treated over 12,000 patients across Astoria, Long Island City, and surrounding neighborhoods since opening our practice.
Our approach combines advanced interventional procedures with comprehensive conservative care. We offer epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, trigger point injections, and joint injections performed under fluoroscopic guidance for precision. These procedures are paired with physical therapy, medication management when appropriate, and lifestyle modifications tailored to urban living challenges.
We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, and Medicaid. We also work extensively with workers compensation and no-fault auto insurance cases, understanding the 30-day filing requirements and documentation needs. Our multilingual staff serves Astoria’s diverse population with culturally sensitive care.
Our Treatment Approach
When you contact NY Spine Medicine, you speak with our scheduling team who can typically arrange appointments within 24-48 hours. We gather your insurance information and verify coverage before your visit so there are no surprises about costs. Bring your insurance card, photo ID, list of current medications, and any recent imaging studies to your first appointment.
Your initial consultation lasts 45-60 minutes. Our physician conducts a comprehensive evaluation including medical history review, physical examination, and discussion of how pain affects your daily activities. We review any previous treatments you’ve tried and what worked or didn’t work. If you need diagnostic imaging like MRI or X-rays, we coordinate those studies and review results before recommending treatment.
We create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific condition, pain location, severity, and lifestyle needs. For many patients, this starts with conservative approaches like physical therapy and medication management. If you need interventional procedures, we explain exactly what to expect including preparation, procedure duration, recovery time, and realistic outcomes. Most injections and nerve blocks are performed in-office and take 15-30 minutes. Follow-up appointments monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.
Comprehensive Pain Treatment
We specialize in treating chronic pain conditions affecting Astoria residents, from work-related injuries in healthcare and service industry workers to repetitive stress from daily commuting and urban mobility demands.
Our treatment options include minimally invasive interventional procedures that provide relief lasting 3-12 months depending on the technique used. We emphasize non-opioid approaches including nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, epidural injections, and regenerative medicine options. Physical therapy and lifestyle modifications help maintain results long-term. Call 212-750-1155 to schedule your consultation and start your path toward pain relief in Astoria.
