Relief Without Surgery
You’re not spending another week waiting for callbacks while nerve pain shoots down your leg. You’re not explaining to your employer why you can’t stand through your shift. You’re not lying awake at 3 AM because your back won’t let you find a comfortable position.
At NY Spine Medicine, you get same-day appointments when pain can’t wait. Our Brooklyn patients receive comprehensive evaluation, accurate diagnosis using advanced imaging, and targeted treatment plans within 48 hours of first contact. We accept most major insurance including Medicare, Medicaid, Workers Compensation, and No-Fault coverage—and we handle all authorization paperwork so you can focus on getting better.
Our approach starts with the least invasive options: targeted injections, nerve blocks, physical therapy coordination, and medication management designed to reduce reliance on opioids. When you need interventional procedures like radiofrequency ablation or spinal cord stimulation, we perform them in our facility with fluoroscopic guidance for precision and safety. Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 days.
Brooklyn Pain Management Experts
NY Spine Medicine brings specialized pain management to Brooklyn through physicians with dual board certification in neurology and pain medicine. This combination means we diagnose the neurological source of your pain and treat it with interventional precision—not just mask symptoms with medications.
Our team has treated over 8,000 Brooklyn patients since establishing our practice, from residents in Park Slope brownstone walk-ups dealing with chronic knee pain from daily stair climbing, to Williamsburg professionals with work-related repetitive strain injuries, to Bay Ridge families managing arthritis worsened by Brooklyn’s cold, damp winters along the waterfront. We understand how this borough’s unique physical demands—extensive walking, subway stair navigation, aging housing stock—create and worsen chronic pain conditions.
We accept patients throughout Kings County, with particular expertise in car accident injuries requiring No-Fault insurance documentation and work-related injuries needing Workers Compensation authorization. Our staff handles the 30-day filing deadlines and authorization requirements so you don’t lose coverage while dealing with pain. Every treatment plan is personalized based on your specific condition, insurance coverage, and functional goals—whether that’s returning to work, playing with your children, or simply walking to the subway without suffering.
Our Treatment Process
Your first appointment includes comprehensive pain evaluation, medical history review, physical examination, and discussion of how pain affects your daily life. This typically takes 45-60 minutes. We review any previous imaging or treatment attempts and explain what’s causing your pain in clear terms—no medical jargon you can’t understand.
If diagnostic imaging is needed, we coordinate MRI or X-ray within 48 hours through our network of Brooklyn imaging centers convenient to your neighborhood. Once we have a complete picture, we develop your treatment plan starting with conservative approaches: targeted injections to reduce inflammation, nerve blocks for radiating pain, physical therapy referrals, and medication management focused on non-opioid alternatives.
For patients who need interventional procedures—epidural steroid injections, radiofrequency ablation, or advanced treatments like spinal cord stimulation—we perform these in our facility using fluoroscopic guidance for accuracy. Most procedures take 15-30 minutes. Patients typically experience relief within 48-72 hours for injections, 2-3 weeks for ablation procedures. We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed. Insurance pre-authorization usually takes 1-2 weeks; we expedite this process and keep you informed throughout.
Comprehensive Pain Treatment
Pain management addresses chronic and acute pain conditions that limit your ability to work, sleep, and enjoy life. At NY Spine Medicine, we treat the full spectrum of pain disorders affecting Brooklyn residents, from chronic back pain caused by degenerative disc disease common in adults over 40, to sciatica with nerve compression sending shooting pain down your leg, to arthritis worsened by Brooklyn’s humid coastal climate and cold winter temperatures.
We specialize in treating car accident injuries—whiplash, herniated discs, soft tissue damage—with proper No-Fault insurance documentation filed within the required 30-day window. Our team also manages work-related injuries including repetitive strain from physical labor, lifting injuries, and occupational pain conditions requiring Workers Compensation authorization. For residents in Flatbush, Crown Heights, and other neighborhoods with walk-up buildings, we frequently treat knee pain, hip arthritis, and chronic lower back strain from climbing multiple flights of stairs daily without elevator access.
Our treatment philosophy emphasizes non-surgical interventions first. We help patients avoid opioid dependence through multimodal pain management combining targeted procedures, physical therapy, and carefully monitored medications. When conservative treatments don’t provide adequate relief, we offer advanced interventional options including radiofrequency ablation for long-term pain reduction and spinal cord stimulation for complex chronic pain syndromes.
