We utilize advanced techniques like sympathetic pain management for conditions like pelvic pain, abdominal pain, tailbone pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, neck pain, hand and wrist pain, lower back pain, and more.
We focus on the entire spine – cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine – as well as the sacrum and coccyx. Our understanding of musculoskeletal disorders extends to treating shoulder joints, hip joints, hand and wrist issues, foot and ankle joints, and sympathetic mediated pain.
Innovative Treatments Offered by NY Pain Solutions
Our interventional procedures include Stellate Ganglion Block for sympathetic mediated pain relief and Lumbar Sympathetic Block for lower extremity pain. We also perform Ganglion Impar blocks for coccyx-related discomfort. For patients seeking alternative therapies, we offer Medical Marijuana consultations under New York State regulations.
Our use of Anesthesia ensures patient comfort during procedures such as Ultrasound-Guided Trigger Point Injections and Ultrasound-Guided Tendon Injections. We also specialize in Trigger Point Injections With Platelets Rich Plasma – a form of regenerative medicine that promotes healing.
For those suffering from spinal conditions like sciatica or radiculopathy due to herniated discs or spinal stenosis, we provide minimally invasive options such as Vertiflex implantation or Percutaneous Discectomy. Spinal cord stimulators are another avenue for chronic back pain relief when conservative treatments have failed.

What Our Customers Say
I come here with some neck and back issues for Pain management. The wait room is very small so they only sit patients in the main area. The family is expected to sit in another area. The wait time is so long for injections. Be prepared to spend most of your day there on an empty stomach. Dr Sekhar is the best. He consults you and answers any concerns you may have. After the procedure, they give you little juices. After sitting for awhile the doctor comes and evaluates your pain to see if the injection worked. You make your follow up appointment and you're done.

I saw Dr.Kogan at Pain Solutions for my spinal stenosis. He administered epidurals with anesthesia, so Dr. Sekhar had to work on that which meant I had 2 md's billing. Oddly enough, when I received the same epidural from Dr. Kogan at his other location (NYU Langone - Forest Hills) where Dr. Sekhar did not practice, Dr. Kogan administered the epidural by himself without the use of anesthesia. There were no problem, and since there was no anesthesia to recover from, I was free to leave right away. I submitted my insurance information but they did not bother to get clearance. It turns out my insurance was only accepted at the NYU-Langone location. But I never received a bill.
