How We Help After a Work Injury
Work-related injuries take many forms — lifting injuries, falls, repetitive stress, machinery accidents, construction injuries, and more. If you were injured on the job anywhere in the New York metro area, our board-certified pain management team treats the full range of work-related pain conditions at four convenient locations.

Relief for Pain and Injuries
We use targeted interventional treatments — including radiofrequency ablation, epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, trigger point injections, and physical therapy — to relieve pain and support your recovery. When surgery isn’t needed, we help you avoid it. When advanced care is truly needed, we coordinate it with trusted specialists.
For patients who develop chronic pain or need advanced care, we also offer percutaneous discectomy, spinal cord stimulator trials and implants, and other interventional procedures.
No Out-of-Pocket Cost With Workers’ Compensation
Under New York’s workers’ compensation system, your employer’s insurance covers medical treatment for injuries sustained on the job. That means:
- No copays
- No deductibles
- No medical bills sent to you
- We handle the insurance paperwork directly with your workers’ comp carrier
You focus on recovery. We handle the rest.
What Your First Visit Looks Like
- Brief intake paperwork — available in English and Spanish; forms can be emailed ahead of time.
- Consultation and exam with Dr. Lerner or a member of our team.
- Imaging when needed — if an MRI is required, we schedule it at a convenient imaging center near you.
- Personalized treatment plan, including any recommended interventional procedures.
- First treatment when appropriate — many patients begin treatment the same visit.
Most first visits take 45 to 60 minutes.
If you need help finding legal representation, ask us — we can point you toward experienced attorneys who handle these cases. You never need legal representation to be treated here.
