​

Understanding Spine Pain in NYC

 

The spine is a vital structure, providing stability, mobility, and protection for the spinal cord and nerves. Due to its complex arrangement of bones, discs, nerves, and ligaments, the spine is vulnerable to a range of issues that can lead to pain in the neck, mid-back, and lower back. Whether your pain radiates to other areas or is localized, our NYC team is here to find the source and develop an effective treatment plan for lasting relief.

When to See a Doctor

 

Seeking medical attention for spine pain is essential when the pain becomes persistent or begins to interfere with your daily life. You should see a doctor if you experience any of the following:

​

• Chronic or Persistent Pain: Spine pain lasting more than a few weeks or that doesn’t improve with rest and at-home care.

• Pain That Radiates: Any spine pain radiating into the arms, shoulders, or legs, which could indicate nerve involvement.

• Numbness, Tingling, or Weakness: Sensations of numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in the limbs, which may indicate nerve compression or damage.

• Loss of Bladder or Bowel Control: A rare but serious symptom that may suggest a critical issue in the spine, such as cauda equina syndrome, and requires immediate attention.

• Trauma or Injury: Pain following an injury or accident should be evaluated to rule out fractures, disc damage, or other structural issues.

​

Addressing spine pain early on can prevent worsening symptoms and help you maintain mobility and quality of life.

Conditions We Treat for Spine Pain in New York City

 

At Manhattan Restorative Health Sciences, our specialists are experienced in treating a variety of spine-related conditions, including:

​

• Arthritis of the Cervical and Lumbar Spine – Degenerative arthritis can cause pain, stiffness, and inflammation in both the neck (cervical) and lower back (lumbar) spine.

• Degenerative Disc Disease – Age-related wear and tear can damage spinal discs, resulting in pain, limited flexibility, and nerve compression.

• Herniated Discs – Occurs when discs in the spine rupture or slip, pressing on nerves and causing pain that may spread to the arms or legs.

• Spinal Stenosis – A narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses spinal nerves, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness, often in the neck or lower back.

• Radiculopathy – Compression of nerve roots in the cervical or lumbar spine, causing radiating pain in the shoulders, arms, or legs.

• Spondylolisthesis – Occurs when one vertebra slips forward over another, leading to alignment issues, nerve compression, and pain in the spine.

• Vertebral Compression Fractures – Often due to osteoporosis, these fractures cause intense pain and impact spinal stability.

• Failed Back Surgery Syndrome – Persistent pain following back surgery, often due to scar tissue or nerve irritation.

• Work Injuries and Car Accidents – Trauma from accidents can cause damage to the discs, ligaments, and surrounding structures in the spine.

Our Spine Pain Treatment Options in New York City

 

Our non-surgical treatments in New York City offer a comprehensive range of solutions for spine pain, focusing on effective relief and restored function. Following a thorough assessment, our specialists design a customized treatment plan, which may include:

​

Conservative Treatments for Spine Pain Relief

​

• Physical Therapy – Strengthening the muscles that support the spine, improving alignment, and enhancing flexibility are essential for managing pain and preventing recurrence.

• Lifestyle Adjustments – Simple changes like ergonomic improvements, posture corrections, and core strengthening exercises can reduce spinal strain and help prevent future pain.

​

Advanced Interventional Procedures for Spine Pain

 

Our specialized interventional procedures are designed to target spine pain directly and minimize discomfort:

​

• Epidural Steroid Injections (Cervical and Lumbar) – Anti-inflammatory injections in the spine reduce nerve irritation, providing relief for herniated discs and spinal stenosis.

• Facet Joint Injections (Cervical and Lumbar) – Anti-inflammatory medications are delivered directly into the small joints of the spine to reduce pain caused by arthritis and other conditions.

• Nerve Root Blocks – By blocking pain signals from specific nerve roots, these injections provide relief for radiculopathy and other nerve-related spine pain.

• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – A minimally invasive procedure that disrupts pain signals from spinal nerves, providing long-term relief for chronic conditions.

• Percutaneous Discectomy – A technique that removes herniated disc material to relieve nerve compression, reducing pain and improving spinal function.

• Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty – These procedures stabilize fractured vertebrae, providing relief from pain and improving structural support for the spine.

• Sacroiliac Joint Injections – Targeting the joint that connects the spine to the pelvis, these injections reduce lower back pain stemming from joint inflammation.

​

Pumps & Stimulators for Spine Pain Management

​

• Spinal Cord Stimulators – Implantable devices that block pain signals along the spinal cord, useful for managing chronic pain following spine surgery.

• Intrathecal Pain Pumps – These pumps deliver medication directly to the spinal cord, providing powerful pain relief for severe, long-term spine pain.

​

Regenerative Treatments to Support Spine Health

​

• Stem Cell Therapy – A regenerative approach that uses the body’s own cells to repair damaged spinal tissues, ideal for degenerative spine conditions.

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy – PRP injections promote healing and reduce inflammation in damaged spinal structures, beneficial for chronic pain management.
