It’s life-changing. There’s nothing more important than your health, right? Without your health, nothing else really matters.

Patient Stories – Sam

Sam // Age: 51

Condition // Severe Sciatica / Shooting Leg Pain

What was your life like before seeking treatment?

When I first started, it was like an unbearable pain running through my whole body. I used to have shooting pain down both of my legs. It got to the point where I could hardly walk, and it was incredibly hard to sleep. It was really bad—the pain was essentially in control of my life.

Why did you choose the team at Pain Management NYC?

I am so glad I have the relationship I do with this practice. From the start, the doctors took care of me and stayed with me throughout the process. The entire staff is great, and the doctors are just wonderful people.

What makes this practice stand out is the personal connection. You feel like they are truly looking out for you. Whether it was the primary specialists or the other doctors on the team, everyone was fantastic. I recommend Pain Management NYC to anyone who has any kind of pain problem; they are absolutely professional and dedicated.

How did you feel once the treatment process began?

Once the treatment started kicking in, everything changed. As the pain got better, I started feeling better about myself. That relief gave me the motivation to start taking better care of my health—I started exercising and losing weight. Now, everything is manageable. I can live a normal life again. I’m no longer under the control of the pain; instead, I control the pain with the team’s help.

How has your life changed since visiting the clinic?

It has been life-changing. I’m just so glad I met this team and started this journey. When you are in that much pain, you realize that there is nothing more important than your health. Without it, nothing else really matters. To be back to a place where I can move and live normally is everything.
