Back Pain

At CitiMedNY in New York, our injury doctors recognize the prevalence of back pain resulting from work injuries, personal injuries resulting from a car accident, or slip and fall.

We understand that this issue affects a significant portion of New Yorkers, with up to 80% experiencing it at some point in their lives. This discomfort can substantially hinder your ability to move, sleep, and carry out your daily routines.

Back pain can vary in severity, ranging from mild discomfort to intense sensations such as shooting pain or stabbing. Fortunately, many cases can find relief through rest, pain medication, and our specialized physical therapy services.

If your back pain persists for more than two weeks, radiates down your legs, or leads to numbness or tingling, it is advisable to seek consultation with one of our doctors for personalized care and effective treatment.
