Why neck pain persists

Standard care treats the pain — not the structure causing it

Neck pain is the fourth leading cause of disability globally, yet most patients cycle through physical therapy, NSAIDs, and muscle relaxants without lasting relief. The reason: standard care treats the symptom. Interventional pain management targets the exact structural source.

  • Physical therapy strengthens muscles but can't address disc, nerve, or facet damage
  • Medications manage pain perception without treating the underlying cause
  • Cervical disc herniation and facet syndrome are highly treatable without surgery
  • Image-guided injections can reach structures PT and medication simply cannot

Our approach: fluoroscopic and ultrasound guidance delivers treatment precisely to the disc, nerve, or joint driving your pain, with an accuracy physical therapy and oral medication can't match.

Symptoms & causes

What's really driving your neck pain?

The same symptoms can have completely different structural causes. Finding the specific driver is the difference between treatment that works and treatment that doesn't.

How we treat neck pain

Interventional treatments at Hudson Medical

Minimally invasive procedures targeting the exact source of neck pain, at our Lower Manhattan clinic.

Fluoroscopy-guided

Cervical epidural steroid injections

Anti-inflammatory medication delivered into the cervical epidural space. Highly effective for disc herniation and nerve root compression causing arm pain.

Relief within 3–7 days
Diagnostic + therapeutic

Medial branch blocks & nerve blocks

Targeted injections to the nerves supplying the cervical facet joints, confirming the pain source and treating it.

Relief within 24–48 hours
Long-lasting relief

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)

Heat energy disrupts the nerve signals from cervical facet joints. The gold standard for confirmed facet-mediated neck pain.

Relief for 6 to 18 months
Regenerative

PRP therapy

Platelet-rich plasma injections using your own growth factors to support disc and joint healing in the cervical spine.

For degenerative disc and facet disease
Immediate relief

Trigger point injections

Targeted injections to myofascial trigger points in the neck and trapezius muscles, addressing the muscular side of chronic neck pain.

Often immediate relief

Call or book online. Same-day appointments available.

Can neck pain be treated without surgery?
Yes — the vast majority of chronic neck pain patients can be treated effectively without surgery. Cervical epidural injections, medial branch blocks, and radiofrequency ablation provide significant and lasting relief for most patients with disc herniation, facet syndrome, and nerve root compression. Hudson Medical's physicians pursue the most conservative effective approach first. Surgery is a last resort.
What type of doctor treats neck pain in NYC?
Pain management specialists treat chronic neck pain using interventional techniques — epidural injections, nerve blocks, and radiofrequency ablation — that most orthopedists and primary care physicians don't perform. Hudson Medical at 281 Broadway in Lower Manhattan coordinates closely with referring physicians throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. No referral is required.
Is neck pain treatment covered by insurance?
Most major insurance plans cover diagnostic evaluations, cervical epidural injections, medial branch blocks, and radiofrequency ablation for chronic neck pain. Coverage for PRP varies by plan. Hudson Medical verifies your specific coverage before your appointment at our 281 Broadway New York City location — no surprises.
What is cervical radiculopathy and how is it treated?
Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a cervical disc herniation or bone spur compresses a nerve root in the neck — causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that travels from the neck into the shoulder, arm, or hand. It is one of the most common and treatable causes of neck and arm pain. Cervical epidural steroid injections are highly effective, often providing significant relief within days.
How long does neck pain treatment take to work?
Cervical epidural injections typically provide relief within 3 to 7 days. Nerve blocks can provide relief within 24 to 48 hours. Radiofrequency ablation takes 2 to 3 weeks to reach full effect and can last 6 to 18 months. PRP therapy shows results over 4 to 8 weeks. We set clear timelines at your first appointment.
