Pain management doctor, Dr. Leon Reyfman, of a pain management clinic in NYC, is a board-certified pain management specialist and experienced sciatica specialist, recognized as a top-rated New York pain specialist providing highly personalized and comprehensive pain care. He is known for a consistent, patient-focused approach to pain relief.

As an experienced pain management doctor, Dr. Reyfman offers advanced treatment options tailored to each condition. Care is provided in a modern, state-of-the-art pain management and sports injury clinic in NYC.

Dr. Reyfman is highly focused on treating pain-related conditions — including back pain, lower back pain, neck pain, and nerve-related conditions such as sciatica. He is part of a highly trained team of pain management specialists in New York, with a strong focus on the diagnosis and treatment of lumbar radiculopathy.

Pain that radiates from the lower back into the hip or leg is commonly associated with irritation of the sciatic nerve, often originating in the lumbar spine. This condition may also present with numbness, tingling, or weakness along the affected nerve pathway.

Many patients seek evaluation when lower back pain begins to radiate beyond the hip or into the leg, or when neurological symptoms persist over time. In many cases, this pattern may reflect nerve root involvement rather than isolated muscular pain.

How symptoms are clinically interpreted:
• Pain radiating below the knee may indicate lumbar nerve compression
• Pain that worsens with sitting may reflect disc-related pressure
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness may suggest progressing nerve involvement
• Pain triggered by walking or prolonged standing may be associated with spinal conditions

As a New York back pain and nerve pain treatment specialist, Dr. Reyfman provides a full spectrum of treatments designed to relieve pain and improve function. Treatment typically begins with advanced non-surgical options such as epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and targeted physical rehabilitation.

For patients who require additional care, minimally invasive procedures such as discectomy and the MILD procedure may be considered. Advanced therapies, including Magnetic Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (mPNS) and Scrambler Therapy, may also be used to address nerve-related pain.

At Pain Management NYC, treatment decisions are based on clinical evaluation and diagnostic findings, with a focus on identifying the precise source of pain before proceeding with treatment.
Evaluation is often recommended when pain worsens with sitting, prolonged standing, or begins to interfere with walking, mobility, or daily function.

At our Pain Management Clinic, a full range of safe and effective techniques is used to treat spine-related and musculoskeletal conditions, including sciatica, herniated discs, nerve compression syndromes, and joint-related injuries.

The clinic is located in Midtown Manhattan at 240 E 23rd St, in the heart of New York City, serving patients across Murray Hill, Gramercy, East Village, and nearby areas including the 23rd Street corridor, Flatiron District, and Union Square.

Patients can expect a structured and coordinated approach to care, supported by a team of pain management specialists and physical rehabilitation providers working together to improve function and reduce pain. With accurate diagnosis and a tailored treatment plan, many patients are able to return to daily activities with minimal downtime.

Dr. Reyfman provides care for patients experiencing both acute and chronic pain conditions and is recognized for a thoughtful and modern approach to pain management.

Conditions commonly treated include:
• Sciatica
• Neck injuries
• Herniated disc (cervical and lumbar)
• Pinched cervical and lumbar nerves
• Shoulder bursitis and rotator cuff injuries
• Frozen shoulder
• Tennis elbow and golf elbow
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
