Injections & Pain · Forest Hills, Queens

Pain Management

Pain relief that puts healing first and medication second.

Our team focuses on pain management and treatment that does not depend on pills. We look for the source of the pain, then use targeted injections, rehab and regenerative care to calm it so you can heal.

Injections we offer

  • Nerve blocks, including intercostal nerve blocks for rib and chest wall pain
  • Epidural steroid injections for back pain and sciatica
  • Facet joint injections for neck and back pain
  • Transforaminal injections for pinched nerves
  • Joint injections, including cortisone, gel and PRP

How injections help

A targeted injection delivers medicine right where the pain starts. It can bring fast relief and also confirm where the pain is coming from, which helps us plan the rest of your care.
