What Pain Management Involves
Treating the source of your pain, with one team following you from diagnosis to follow-up.
Finding the source
Pain that lasts more than a few weeks usually has a specific source, such as an irritated nerve, a worn joint or a muscle spasm. Pain management means finding that source and treating it, rather than only covering up the symptom.
One team, start to finish
One Queens Pain Clinic team handles diagnosis, procedures and follow-up. For example, you might have an injection, then physical therapy, then a check-in with the same doctor.

Pain Management Treatments in Rego Park
Not everyone needs a procedure. Medication changes and physical therapy may help. For injections and ablations, live X-ray (fluoroscopy) or ultrasound guides the needle placement.
Epidural steroid injections
Anti-inflammatory medication placed near an irritated spinal nerve. Often used for herniated discs, sciatica and spinal stenosis.
Learn more →Facet joint injections
Medication delivered into the small joints at the back of the spine. They treat neck and back pain and can help confirm whether a facet joint is the source.
Learn more →Radiofrequency ablation
Heat from a radio wave, delivered through a thin needle, quiets nerves that carry pain signals from a joint. It may be considered after a facet injection gives temporary relief, and the benefit may last months.
Learn more →Sacroiliac joint injections
For pain low in the back or buttock, where the spine meets the pelvis.
Learn more →Trigger point injections
Small injections into tight muscle knots that do not release with stretching or massage.
Learn more →Peripheral nerve stimulation
A thin wire placed near a specific nerve sends mild electrical pulses that change how pain signals travel. It usually begins with a trial.
Learn more →Spinal cord stimulation
A small implanted device sends similar stimulation along the spinal cord. It is an option for long-lasting back and leg pain, including pain after back surgery when other treatments have not worked. It begins with a trial before you commit.
Learn more →PRP (platelet-rich plasma)
We draw your blood, concentrate the platelets and inject them into an injured tendon, ligament or joint. Evidence is stronger for some conditions, such as knee arthritis and certain tendon problems, than for others. We explain how the evidence applies to you.
Learn more →Prolotherapy
Dextrose injections meant to prompt a healing response in strained ligaments and tendons. Research is mixed, so we talk through realistic expectations first.
Learn more →Physical therapy
Strengthening and mobility work that supports other treatment and helps keep pain from coming back.
Learn more →Functional medicine
Bloodwork and assessment of inflammation, blood sugar, vitamin D, thyroid and sleep, which can all contribute to chronic pain. It supports your treatment plan but does not replace it.

What you can expect when you come to us with pain that will not go away.
Opioids may have a place, especially short term, but they treat how pain feels rather than where it comes from. We start with non-opioid options and follow the CDC's 2022 clinical practice guideline for prescribing opioids. We will not abruptly stop opioids you already take. We work with you to lower the dose gradually while we treat the source of your pain.
We accept most major insurance plans and treat auto accident injuries and workers' compensation cases. Coverage varies by plan, so call 1-877-97 NO PAIN with your insurance card handy and we will check your coverage before your visit. See our Insurance page for details.
Strengthening and mobility work supports your other treatment and helps keep pain from coming back.
What Happens at Your First Visit
Four simple steps, from your first conversation to follow-up. See Your First Visit for more.
Talk and exam
Bring any MRI, X-ray or CT reports, a medication list and notes on treatments you have already tried. The doctor asks where it hurts, what makes it worse and how it affects your sleep and work, then does a hands-on exam.
Your options explained
The doctor explains the suspected cause and your treatment options, including options that do not involve a procedure. You decide what happens next.
Treatment
If you choose a procedure, it is outpatient, so you go home the same day.
Follow-up and adjustment
We check how you responded and change course if something is not working.
