Knee Pain Treatment in NYC Shouldn’t Slow You Down
There’s nothing like the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple. If you’re a New Yorker, you thrive on that energy. But when you live in “The City That Never Sleeps,” you know there’s never a good time to be sidelined with knee pain. Whether you’re running to hail a cab, jogging through Central Park, or holding your stance on the Subway, you count on your knees to carry you through your busy lifestyle.
That’s why finding a knee pain doctor in New York with swift remedies is essential to your productivity. Some forms of treatment for knee pain, like surgery, prolong the problem, since they require work absence, physical rehabilitation, and lengthy recovery. But Pain Treatment Specialists provides better solutions through state of the art diagnostic and treatment tools. The latest research shows that activity helps prevent knee pain, so procedures that slow you down are counterproductive.
The knee pain doctors at Pain Treatment Specialists are board certified in interventional pain medicine, so they stop pain at the source and prevent it from recurring. Don’t waste time with other knee pain doctors who won’t expedite relief. We provide the best knee pain treatment in NYC, often within a matter of minutes!
Some Knee Pain Doctors Slow You Down
Unfortunately, some knee pain doctors, including primary care physicians and orthopedic surgeons, might actually prolong pain. If they don’t have the time or tools to properly diagnose your pain, they’re likely to recommend treatment that only numbs the pain, like narcotic medicine, or systemic steroids. Or, if they can’t determine the cause, they might suggest invasive or exploratory surgery, which is often unnecessary.
Both surgery and narcotics come with significant risks and side effects. And both treatments increase the duration of your symptoms. Surgery often requires a long waiting period to be scheduled, followed by a long recovery. In many cases, surgery causes complications that further lengthen the time of recovery. Narcotics are prone to dependence or addiction, which also inhibit your productivity. Opioid medication often loses effectiveness as your body acclimates, leading to an endless cycle of increased dosages for relief.
Many knee pain doctors aren’t trained in the minimally invasive options that relieve knee pain quickly with minimal downtime. As a result, too many patients postpone seeking knee pain treatment for fear of hampered productivity, complications, lost wages, and financial burdens. But Pain Treatment Specialists offers safer, quicker, more effective treatments, so you don’t have to miss a beat.
How Pain Treatment Specialists Keeps You in Motion
Pain Treatment Specialists has a unique approach to knee pain, in that we identify the exact source of pain before recommending treatment.

We Offer the Fastest State of the Art Treatment for Knee Pain
Surgery is increasingly unnecessary for many types of knee pain. You might fear that knee pain means you’re due for a total knee replacement, but this is rarely the case. Keep in mind that knees are incredibly complex, combining cartilage, bones, ligaments, tendons, fluid, and muscles to work properly. Any of those components can incur disease, infection, injury, or degeneration. So the odds of you needing a knee replacement are relatively small. Here are some of the common causes of knee pain, many of which don’t require surgery.
- Ligament Injuries
- Meniscus Injuries
- Arthritis
- Bursitis
- Patellar Tendinitis
- Fractures
- Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
