Are you in pain?

Are you suffering from any type of acute or chronic pain? Is it keeping you from doing the things you love or maybe even keeping you from doing the ordinary tasks of daily life? You don’t have to suffer…we can help.

At Pain Management Specialists of New York, with four convenient offices across the Greater New York City metropolitan area, we bring more than 20 years of experience to individuals suffering from either acute or chronic pain. Dr. Lerner is board-certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology in both pain management and anesthesiology.

The following are some of the main pain conditions that our specialists treat.

Neck Pain

Neck pain can stem from a wide range of conditions, such as arthritis, a pinched nerve, repetitive stress or motion injury, traumatic injury, herniated disc, whiplash or spinal stenosis. We can help manage your pain.

Pinched Nerve

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

Upper Back Pain

Discomfort in your upper back may stem from a herniated disc, a fractured vertebra, from spinal stenosis or from some type of arthritis. Common treatment options include nerve blocks and other injections, as well as physical therapy.

Tendonitis

Injury or overuse of your tendons, which connect muscles to bones, can lead to inflammation, swelling, pain and joint stiffness. Tendonitis is most commonly found in the elbow, knee, shoulder, heel and wrist.

Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain may be the result of sprain or strain, herniated disc, inflammation of the sciatic nerve, poor posture, arthritis, repetitive stress, degenerative conditions, or traumatic injury.

Herniated Disc

Your vertebrae, the bones in your spinal cord, are cushioned by soft, jellylike discs, which absorb shock and protect nerve ending. Injury and overuse can cause those discs to rupture or bulge, which puts pressure on nerve roots.

Shoulder Pain

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

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. We offer a variety of treatment options, including nerve blocks and other injections to effectively treat arthritic pain.

Knee Pain

Knee pain can stem from a wide range of conditions, including tendon, muscle and ligament damage, arthritis or bursitis, or tearing or deterioration of the cartilage (meniscus) that cushions the bones.

Hip Pain

Your hips provide stability for your whole body and can be susceptible to arthritis, bursitis, repetitive stress and motion injury, as well as muscle and tendon injury and degenerative conditions.

Spinal Stenosis

A narrowing of the spinal column that may be caused by arthritis, injury, cysts or tumors, stenosis can increase pressure on your spinal cord and nerves, leading to pain, weakness or numbness in your arms, legs, hands and feet.

Sciatica

Pressure on or damage to your sciatic nerve, which runs from your tailbone to your feet, can lead to pain that radiates from your lower back all the way down your leg. Common causes in herniated discs, aging and injury.

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.

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.
