Lexington Avenue starts at Gramercy Park, and our clinic is on the same avenue about a mile north, at 369 Lexington Avenue, Floor 25, between 40th and 41st Streets. From the 23rd Street station, the 6 train reaches Grand Central in three stops. Dr. Alex Movshis completed his interventional pain medicine fellowship at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and is board-certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine.
Beyond General Practice
Many patients come to us after seeing a primary care doctor, a chiropractor, or a physical therapist without enough improvement. What a pain physician adds is diagnosis and procedures. The first visit is a history and examination aimed at the structure most likely producing the pain, and a diagnostic block can help when the exam leaves doubt. Treatment then starts with the least invasive option that fits.
Conditions We Treat
Our practice covers a wide range of pain conditions: lower back pain and lumbar disc disease, neck pain and cervical radiculopathy, sciatica, chronic migraine and headaches that start in the neck, knee, hip, and shoulder joint pain, post-surgical and scar tissue pain, TMJ disorders, and muscle spasms with myofascial trigger points.
Available Treatments
We offer epidural steroid injections under fluoroscopic guidance, diagnostic and therapeutic nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation for facet, sacroiliac and knee pain, ultrasound-guided joint and soft tissue injections, trigger point injections, and Botox for chronic migraine and cervical dystonia. The practice also offers a separate, physician-supervised IV therapy menu, including NAD+, immune support, anti-inflammatory and hydration IVs.
Getting Here
The office is on Lexington Avenue between 40th and 41st Streets. Southbound M101, M102 and M103 buses run down Lexington, and the same routes run north on Third Avenue. We offer Monday through Friday appointments from 9 AM to 7 PM with same-week availability for most conditions.
