Frequently Asked Questions
What types of pain conditions does OrthoNY treat?
OrthoNY treats a broad range of pain conditions. We see patients with chronic back and neck pain, osteoarthritis pain in knees and hips, joint and soft tissue injuries, and nerve-related pain such as sciatica and radiculopathy, carpal and cubital tunnel, and peripheral neuropathy. We also manage complex regional pain syndrome, post-surgical pain, and pain from compression fractures or sports injuries.
Each patient receives a comprehensive evaluation to identify the source of their pain. Your specialist may order imaging such as X-rays, MRI, ultrasound, or CT scans to better understand the reason for your pain. Based on these results, they will recommend a personalized treatment plan, which may include medications, therapeutic injections, nerve blocks, or minimally invasive procedures. At OrthoNY, our pain management specialists collaborate closely with our orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists to deliver integrated, multidisciplinary care. Patients from Albany to Saratoga, NY, benefit from our personalized, outcome-driven approach.
When should I seek pain management care?
You should consider pain management care when pain begins to interfere with your daily activities or does not improve with rest and over-the-counter treatments.
Early referral to a pain specialist is important, as it allows for timely evaluation of the underlying cause and may help prevent the development of chronic or worsening symptoms. A specialist will assess your condition through a combination of physical examination, imaging, and diagnostic testing to create a personalized treatment plan.
Early intervention not only promotes faster recovery but also helps you return to the activities you enjoy sooner. Don’t wait for the pain to become severe or disabling — consulting a specialist early can make a meaningful difference in your quality of life.
What non-surgical pain treatment options are available?
OrthoNY provides a comprehensive range of non-surgical treatments customized to address the underlying source of your pain. Our non-opioid medication management approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, using targeted prescriptions to reduce pain and inflammation while closely monitoring for benefit and potential side effects.
We offer advanced, image-guided injection therapies, including corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, and viscosupplementation, for effective relief of joint pain. For nerve and joint-related pain, we provide interventional procedures such as nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and neuromodulation therapy to disrupt pain transmission pathways.
In addition, regenerative treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are available to stimulate tissue healing and recovery in appropriate cases. Physical therapy is integrated into the care plan and coordinated with specialists to enhance strength, flexibility, posture, and overall function.
All services are delivered in convenient outpatient settings, and our patients’ progress is monitored regularly to fine-tune the treatment plan and maximize pain relief.
Are there minimally invasive procedures for pain relief?
Yes. OrthoNY performs minimally invasive procedures to treat a range of pain conditions, such as image-guided injections using ultrasound or fluoroscopy to deliver medication directly to inflamed joints or pinched nerves.
We also offer advanced options like radiofrequency ablation for chronic joint or back pain, trigger point injections for muscle pain, and epidural steroid injections to reduce nerve root inflammation caused by radiculopathy or sciatica. In appropriate cases, a minimally invasive lumbar decompression surgery can be done to give the nerves more space. These procedures are performed in our state-of-the-art surgery centers in Albany and Clifton Park, NY. These treatments provide targeted pain relief with minimal downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities with greater comfort and ease.
What can I expect during and after a pain management procedure?
Each pain management procedure at OrthoNY begins with a dedicated consultation to review your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. This evaluation helps us determine the most appropriate procedure to address your specific pain generator.
On the day of your procedure, our care team will guide you through check-in and preparation. Depending on the type of treatment, you may receive local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort. Advanced imaging techniques, such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy, are used to enhance precision and safety during the procedure.
Following the procedure, you will rest briefly under observation by our medical team. Patients are able to return home the same day. Temporary soreness or numbness at the treatment site is common and usually resolves quickly. You will receive instructions regarding medications, activity limitations, and any necessary follow-up appointments.
To promote lasting relief and functional improvement, your care plan may include physical therapy, home exercise programs, or additional treatments tailored to your progress. The OrthoNY team is committed to supporting your recovery at every stage of care.
How does OrthoNY coordinate pain management with orthopedic and rehab services?
OrthoNY provides integrated care by coordinating among pain specialists, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists. If surgery becomes necessary, we plan together to align treatments and optimize outcomes.
Patients across Albany, Clifton Park, Delmar, Glens Falls, Malta, Saratoga, and Schenectady benefit from coordinated, personalized care plans. Our team works collaboratively, and this integrated approach supports better outcomes, faster recovery, and a more seamless patient experience. Our priority is to reduce your pain and help you return to the life you enjoy — with expert care every step of the way.
