We have extensive experience in effectively managing pain resulting from work-related injuries, slip and falls, and motor vehicle accidents. Additionally, we offer specialized treatment to alleviate pain caused by sports injuries and the aging process.

Our approach includes a range of conservative care options, such as physical therapy, pain-relieving injections, and minimally invasive procedures, providing alternatives to surgery. For patients who continue to suffer from pain post-surgery, we offer advanced treatment options designed to control persistent pain.

Neck Pain

Neck pain can stem from a wide range of conditions, such as arthritis, a pinched nerve, and more.

Knee Pain

Knee pain can stem from a wide range of conditions, including tendon, muscle and ligament damage.

Arthritis

Arthritis, most often caused by wear and tear or overuse of a joint, can make it painful to engage in even the most basic tasks.

Tendonitis

Injury or overuse of your tendons, which connect muscles to bones, can lead to inflammation, swelling, pain and joint stiffness.

Pinched Nerve

Common causes include injury, arthritis, poor posture, obesity and herniated discs.

Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain may be the result of sprain or strain, herniated disc or other causes.

Hip Pain

Your hips provide stability for your whole body and can be susceptible to arthritis, bursitis, repetitive stress and motion injury.

Sciatica

Pressure on or damage to your sciatic nerve can lead to pain radiating from your lower back down your leg.

Shoulder Pain

Your shoulder is a highly complex joint, making it susceptible to pain from injury or overuse.

Mid Back Pain

Discomfort in your mid back may stem from a herniated disc, fractured vertebra, spinal stenosis or arthritis.

Herniated Disc

Your vertebrae, the bones in your spinal cord, are cushioned by soft, jellylike discs, which absorb shock and protect nerve endings.

Spinal Stenosis

Stenosis is narrowing of the spinal column that may be caused by arthritis, injury, cysts or tumors

Dr. Lerner is a professional, concerned and caring physician. His main goal is to address your medical issues and treat them with the best medical options. He gives the pros and cons of every treatment and that allows me to make trusting and conscious decisions about my treatment. Very hard to find a doctor of this caliber nowadays. I am blessed to have a doctor like Dr. Lerner.

5 star review
I have been a patient of Dr. Ari Lerner for a long time. And if someone were to ask me: What is the main reason why you prefer Dr. Lerner? I would answer, because he has a very sure and precise hand when he gives me epidural injections in the spine. In addition, because both he and his staff provide very efficient and fiendly attention in englis and spanish. Its facilities have high-tech medical instruments and equipment, and are very spacious and safe, as it has a personal elevator for the disabled.
