Pain Management Services in NJ & NY

You have tried rest. You have tried pills. You have tried ignoring it. None of those are treatments — they are delays. Interventional pain management works differently because it targets the structure generating your pain instead of masking the signal.

Metro Pain Centers offers 8 specialized treatment pathways across 12 locations in New Jersey and New York. Our board-certified physicians match each patient with the right combination of therapies based on diagnosis, imaging, and clinical response.

Treatment Options at Metro Pain Centers

Interventional pain management encompasses a spectrum of minimally invasive procedures performed under image guidance — typically fluoroscopy or ultrasound — to diagnose and treat pain at its anatomical source. These procedures range from diagnostic nerve blocks that identify pain generators to therapeutic interventions that provide weeks, months, or years of relief.

Metro Pain Centers delivers every treatment listed below at all 12 offices. Our physicians explain each option, its expected outcomes, and its risks before any procedure begins.

Interventional Pain Management

The foundation of what we do. Metro Pain Centers physicians perform epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and spinal cord stimulation to treat pain at its source.

These procedures use fluoroscopic guidance to place needles with sub-millimeter precision. Most take 15 to 45 minutes. Patients typically return to normal activity within 24 hours.

Radiofrequency ablation disrupts pain signals by applying thermal energy to targeted nerve branches. Relief lasts 6 to 18 months depending on nerve regeneration patterns.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy at Metro Pain Centers follows physician-directed protocols designed to complement interventional procedures. Rehabilitation restores mobility, strengthens supporting musculature, and reduces the likelihood of pain recurrence.

Our therapists work alongside your pain management physician. Treatment plans include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, and modality-based pain relief.

PRP Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma therapy concentrates your blood's healing factors and injects them into damaged tissue. Metro Pain Centers uses PRP for tendon injuries, ligament sprains, and early-stage osteoarthritis.

The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes. A small blood draw, centrifuge processing, and ultrasound-guided injection. No synthetic materials enter your body.

PRP Pain Management

PRP pain management applies platelet-rich plasma specifically to chronic pain conditions where inflammation drives the pain cycle. Metro Pain Centers uses this approach for facet joint pain, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and recalcitrant tendinopathy, a tendon condition that resists conventional treatment.

This protocol differs from standard PRP by targeting nerve-adjacent structures rather than soft tissue repair alone.

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cell therapy uses mesenchymal stem cells to promote tissue repair in joints, discs, and tendons. Metro Pain Centers offers this regenerative option for patients who have not responded to conventional injections.

The practice follows strict sourcing and preparation protocols. Every patient receives a thorough candidacy evaluation before proceeding.

Medical Marijuana

Metro Pain Centers physicians are state-certified to prescribe medical marijuana for qualifying chronic pain conditions in New Jersey and New York. This option supplements — but does not replace — interventional treatment.

Conditions that qualify include chronic pain lasting 3 or more months, neuropathic pain, and cancer-related pain. Our physicians evaluate your eligibility during a dedicated consultation.

Non-Surgical Orthopedic Care

Not every musculoskeletal problem requires a procedure. Metro Pain Centers provides conservative orthopedic care including bracing, activity modification guidance, corticosteroid injections, and supervised rehabilitation.

Our physicians evaluate whether a patient needs intervention or can recover with structured conservative management. This distinction saves patients time, money, and unnecessary risk.

Vein Treatments

Metro Pain Centers treats varicose veins and spider veins with sclerotherapy and endovenous laser ablation. These minimally invasive procedures collapse damaged veins so blood reroutes through healthier vessels.

Vein treatment sessions take 30 to 60 minutes. Most patients resume normal activity the same day.
