Modal Pain Management NYC provides interventional pain care for people who live or work in Kips Bay, the East Side neighborhood between roughly 23rd and 34th Streets. Our clinic at 369 Lexington Avenue, Floor 25, is a few stops north on the 6 train, between 40th and 41st Streets.
A Pain Physician, Not a General Clinic
Dr. Alex Movshis is board-certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine and completed his interventional pain medicine fellowship at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. You see him at every visit, from the first examination through the procedure and follow-up.
The approach is straightforward: work out which structure is most likely causing your pain, with the exam, your imaging and, when needed, a diagnostic block, then start with the least invasive treatment that fits. Many people improve without surgery, and when surgery is the better answer, Dr. Movshis refers you.
Conditions We Commonly Treat
Patients from this area frequently seek treatment for chronic low back pain and disc herniation, neck pain and cervical spondylosis, sciatica and lumbar radiculopathy, chronic migraine and headaches that start in the neck, rotator cuff and shoulder pain, knee osteoarthritis and meniscus-related pain, sports injuries and overuse conditions, and post-surgical pain syndromes.
Interventional Treatments
Procedures at our Lexington Avenue office include fluoroscopy-guided epidural steroid injections, selective nerve root blocks and stellate ganglion blocks, radiofrequency ablation for facet joint and sacroiliac pain, trigger point injections, ultrasound-guided joint injections, PRP for selected tendon and joint problems, Botox for chronic migraine, and physical therapy and rehabilitation. The practice also runs a separate IV therapy menu, including NAD+, glutathione, Myers’ cocktail hydration and athletic recovery IVs.
How to Reach Us
From the neighborhood, our clinic is a quick trip up Lexington Avenue. Take the 6 train from 28th Street or 33rd Street to Grand Central (two stops or one), then walk about a block south on Lexington. The M101, M102 and M103 buses run north on Third Avenue and south on Lexington. We’re open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 7 PM, and typically offer same-week appointments.
