Nerve pain, also called neuropathic pain, is a condition that happens when nerves become damaged, irritated, or inflamed. Unlike muscle or joint pain, nerve and pain problems come directly from the nervous system. People often describe nerve pain as burning pain, stabbing sensations, electric shocks, or a deep aching discomfort that can spread along the nerves.
This condition can affect any part of the body, including the lower back nerves, arms, legs, and internal organs. Common examples include diabetic nerve pain, peripheral nerve disease, and phantom pain after an limb injury or surgery. When nerves are not functioning properly, they may send incorrect signals to the brain, leading to persistent discomfort and nerve trouble that can interfere with sleep, work, and daily activities.

We provide expert nerve pain care for patients in Flushing, Queens, Bayside, Whitestone, Fresh Meadows, and other areas across New York.
Treatments range from conservative treatment to surgery. Our goal is to provide you with the best treatment plan to reduce pain, but these treatments do not change the underlying source of pain. Medical treatments are often used in combination such as: medications, physical therapy programs, and injection therapy.
Treats radiating pain; deposit the medication, typically steroids in the epidural space of the spine.
Targets a specific spinal nerve and deposit medication around the nerve at the point where it exits the intervertebral foramen (bony opening between adjacent vertebrae).
Treat pain stemming from a specific facet joint.
Deposit medication around the medial branches of spinal nerves. The medial branch is a nerve that sends pain signals to the brain from an arthritic facet joint. An injection directed around the medial branch can relieve neck and lower back pain.
Treats pain by lesioning medial branch nerves of the facet joints.
