Understanding Different Types of Back Pain

Acute Back Pain

Acute back pain typically develops suddenly and lasts for a few days to a few weeks. At Pain Physicians NY, we provide rapid intervention to prevent acute conditions from becoming chronic. Our targeted treatments focus on both pain relief and addressing the underlying cause, whether it's a muscle strain, ligament sprain, or disc-related issue.

Chronic Back Pain

When back pain persists for 12 weeks or longer, it's considered chronic. Our NYC pain management specialists excel in treating chronic conditions through a combination of innovative therapies, including minimally invasive procedures, regenerative medicine, and comprehensive rehabilitation programs. We understand that chronic pain requires a long-term management strategy focused on improving quality of life.

Sciatica and Radicular Pain

Radiating pain that travels down the legs often indicates nerve involvement. Our specialists at Pain Physicians NY utilize advanced diagnostic imaging and nerve testing to precisely identify the source of sciatic nerve compression or irritation. We offer targeted treatments ranging from epidural injections to specialized physical therapy protocols designed to provide both immediate relief and long-term resolution.
