Our History

The NYU Pain Management Center (NYU PMC) was established in 1979 to treat individuals who suffer from acute and chronic disabling pain. The uniqueness and strength of the NYU Pain Management Center lies in its ability and experience in utilizing the multidisciplinary approach effectively to benefit the patient, the employer and the insurer.

Why We Are Unique

The NYU Pain Management Center is a unique and comprehensive facility which provides extensive diagnostic and therapeutic services all in one location. The clinical corner-stone of the Center is its multidisciplinary "Pain Team" consisting of pain specialists. This approach assures clinical excellence, cost effectiveness and most importantly, compassionate and effective pain treatment. Regularly scheduled "Interdisciplinary Pain Team" conferences promote the most efficient use of the patient's treatment sessions and a quicker and more complete recovery.

All of the specially trained health care professionals at NYU PMC are dedicated to providing each and every patient with the highest quality pain-focused medical care available to treat their pain condition. The most recent and advanced diagnostic technologies coupled with the latest and individualized medical, physiatric, psychological and interventional therapies can diagnose and treat your patients' conditions successfully.

By providing timely, efficient and thorough care, our goal is to achieve the most optimal level of functionality for all patients. Patients are encouraged to be active participants in their own care and patient education regarding diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation is an essential part of the program.

In order to promote continued success, we also offer Maintenance Services through our professionals to monitor long term effects of treatment and to offer the appropriate therapy as needed.

Patients referred to our program soon after onset of pain have the benefit of an earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment that allows them to avoid falling into a "chronic pain syndrome" where development of other serious problems such as permanent disability, depression and drug dependency can occur. A timely
treated patient at the NYU PMC returns to a productive life and workforce sooner saving resources for themselves, the employer, insurance company and the government.
