Pain Management Experts
With a reputation as a leading authority on pain management, the Center for Pain Management at Stony Brook University Medical Center has served Long Island since 1982. Our team is made up of double board-certified physicians who are dedicated experts in the field of pain medicine. We use the biopsychosocial model of medicine to treat chronic and acute pain, provide palliative care, and improve the functionality and quality of life of our patients.
We work in partnership with area physicians to offer consultations, diagnoses, plans of treatment and multidisciplinary care before returning the patient to his or her primary care doctor.
The Center for Pain Management, located within Stony Brook’s Cancer Center and adjacent to the hospital, offers state of the art facilities, an in-office procedure suite for interventional pain management procedures such as fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, spinal cord stimulation, radio frequency ablation, and access to Stony Brook’s wide range of resources and technology.
At our state-of-the-art fluoroscopy suite, we do Interlaminar and transforaminal epidural steroid injections, facet joint blocks and injections, intercostal nerve blocks, stellate ganglion blocks, and lumbar sympathetic blocks on a daily basis. We are one of the few Pain Centers around the country to utilize ultrasound-guided nerve blocks.
