With a focus on personalized care, we create a treatment plan designed to offer substantial, long-lasting relief.
When to See a Doctor
Cancer pain can be a persistent, challenging experience, but there are key moments when it’s essential to seek professional help. Consider consulting a doctor if you experience:
Pain that limits your ability to perform daily tasks or reduces your comfort significantly
Pain that continues to worsen despite medication or home treatments
Unrelieved pain following cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy or surgery
Pain that disrupts your sleep, mood, or overall quality of life
Pain that radiates to other areas, such as the back, abdomen, or limbs, or any new pain symptoms that arise
Addressing cancer pain promptly can enhance treatment outcomes and improve your quality of life, ensuring that you receive appropriate care for the pain you’re experiencing.
Conditions We Treat for Cancer Pain in New York City
Our specialists address a range of cancer-related conditions that lead to pain, including:
Vertebral Compression Fractures – Caused by the weakening of bones due to cancer, these fractures can create severe pain and instability in the spine.

Advanced Cancer Pain Treatments in NYC
Our team provides a comprehensive suite of options to manage cancer pain, with a focus on minimally invasive techniques and long-term relief. Following a thorough assessment, our specialists will recommend a customized treatment plan that may include:
Targeted Nerve Blocks and Procedures for Cancer Pain
Celiac Plexus Block/Splanchnic Block – Targeting abdominal nerves, this block provides significant relief for patients experiencing abdominal cancer pain, particularly effective for pancreatic and gastrointestinal cancers.
Celiac Plexus Neurolysis – This procedure offers extended relief for chronic abdominal pain due to cancer, effectively blocking pain signals from the abdominal area.
Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty – Designed to stabilize the spine, these procedures treat vertebral compression fractures caused by bone-weakening cancers, reducing pain and preventing further spinal damage.
Innovative Pain Management: Pumps & Stimulators
Baclofen and Morphine Intrathecal Trials & Infusion Pumps – These pumps deliver pain relief directly to the spinal cord, providing a potent solution for managing severe, persistent cancer pain when other treatments fall short.
Spinal Cord Stimulators – Thoracic, Lumbar, and Sacral Areas – By blocking pain signals before they reach the brain, these stimulators offer relief from hard-to-treat cancer pain, especially beneficial for patients with widespread or intractable pain.
Nerve-Targeting Procedures for Lasting Cancer Pain Relief
RadioFrequency Rhizotomy – This minimally invasive procedure targets specific nerves to disrupt pain signals, offering relief from cancer pain that affects the back, spine, and extremities.
Lumbar Sympathetic Block – Effective for cancer pain in the lower body, this block addresses nerve clusters that transmit pain, reducing discomfort associated with tumors or metastasis in the lower extremities.
Supportive Therapies for Cancer Pain Relief
Ketamine for Pain Management – Known for its analgesic properties, ketamine is used for complex pain cases, providing an effective solution when cancer pain is not responsive to conventional treatments.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy – Although primarily regenerative, PRP can support overall pain management by reducing inflammation in damaged or stressed areas, complementing other cancer pain treatments.
