You Don’t Have to Live with the Pain Caused by
Pinched Nerves
Let Pain Management Specialists of New York
Help Alleviate Your Pain
Are you in pain?
Have you experienced any tingling in your arms, neck, lower back, elbows, legs or feet? Have you felt a sharp pain in your back that seemed to travel all the way to your feet? You may be suffering from a pinched nerve, also known as radiculopathy. A pinched nerve can bring your life to a virtual standstill, making it nearly impossible to get relief.
You don’t have to continue suffering.
We can help.
At Pain Management Specialists of New York, we concentrate our practice exclusively on helping patients minimize and manage all types of pain, including any type of pain associated with or cause by a pinched nerve. Dr. Ari Lerner, our lead pain management specialist, has effectively treated patients with all types of pain for more than 15 years, including people suffering from all types of radiculopathy. Dr. Lerner has board certifications in both pain management and anesthesiology from the American Board of Anesthesiology.

What Are the Most Frequent Causes of a Pinched Nerve?
As a general rule, neck pain tends either to be focused entirely in your neck (known as axial pain) or will radiate from your neck to other parts of your body, typically your arms or shoulders (referred to as radicular pain). Because your neck plays such a central role in virtually all movement and posture, it can be susceptible to injury in a number of ways:
Traumatic Injury
The impact of a car accident, a slip and fall, or a sports accident can put pressure on a nerve.
Spinal Stenosis
With this condition, your spinal canal can narrow and impinge on a nerve.
Repetitive Stress or Motion
Certain types of repeated activity can put pressure on nerves, causing carpal tunnel syndrome and other nerve conditions.
The Aging Process
As you age, your joints break down and the natural cushioning there becomes thinner, which can lead to the formation of bone spurs.
Rheumatoid Arthritis or Osteoarthritis
Different types of arthritis can cause bone spurs, break down cartilage and narrow nerve passageways
Obesity or Poor Posture
These conditions can put extra pressure on the spinal column and the nerves contained there.
