Understanding Pain Management After an Injury

Pain management is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing the source of pain and developing targeted treatment plans to reduce it. After a car accident, work injury, or slip and fall, pain can stem from multiple sources simultaneously — a herniated disc pressing on a nerve root, inflamed facet joints, torn ligaments, and protective muscle spasm can all contribute to a single patient's pain experience.

At MAIC, our pain management approach begins with a thorough diagnostic workup. Same-day MRI imaging on our on-site 1.5T and 3T machines identifies structural injuries. EMG and nerve conduction studies performed by Dr. Belok pinpoint nerve damage. Physical examination by Dr. Shekhtman maps pain patterns to specific anatomical structures. Only after this comprehensive evaluation do we design a treatment plan.

Our interventional pain procedures follow the NYS Medical Treatment Guidelines step-care model: conservative treatment first (physical therapy, medication management), followed by minimally invasive interventions (epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, trigger point injections) when conservative care is insufficient, and surgical referral only when non-operative options have been exhausted and documented.

Every procedure and clinical finding is documented to WCB and litigation standards from day one — because in personal injury and workers' compensation cases, the quality of your medical record directly affects the outcome of your claim.

Insurance Coverage for Pain Management

MAIC accepts no-fault (PIP) insurance, workers' compensation, all major commercial carriers, and personal injury liens. If you were injured in a car accident, your own auto insurance policy covers up to $50,000 in pain management treatment regardless of fault — you do not need to prove liability or wait for a settlement. Our billing team handles all prior authorizations, insurance submissions, and carrier correspondence so you can focus on recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a pain management doctor treat?

A pain management doctor diagnoses and treats chronic and acute pain conditions including herniated discs, radiculopathy, sciatica, whiplash, joint pain, neuropathy, and musculoskeletal injuries. At MAIC in the Bronx, our board-certified pain management physicians use interventional procedures like epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, trigger point injections, and radiofrequency ablation alongside physical rehabilitation.

Does MAIC accept no-fault insurance for pain management?

Yes. MAIC accepts all no-fault (PIP) insurance, workers' compensation, and personal injury liens for pain management treatment. No-fault covers up to $50,000 in medical treatment regardless of who caused the accident. Our billing team handles all insurance authorization and paperwork.

How soon after an accident should I see a pain management doctor?

You should see a pain management doctor as soon as possible after an accident — ideally within 24 to 72 hours. Early documentation of your injuries is critical for both your treatment plan and any insurance or legal claim. Delays in seeking care can be used by insurance companies to dispute that your injuries were caused by the accident.

What is an epidural steroid injection?

An epidural steroid injection (ESI) delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly into the epidural space around the spinal nerves. It reduces inflammation and pain caused by herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and radiculopathy. At MAIC, ESIs are performed by Dr. Benjamin Shekhtman under fluoroscopic guidance for precision.

Do I need a referral to see a pain management doctor at MAIC?

No referral is needed. You can schedule a same-day appointment directly. If you were in a car accident, slip and fall, or work injury, you have the legal right to choose your own doctor in New York. Attorneys can also refer patients directly through our referral portal.
