New York's dedicated back pain clinic
Hi there — we'd love to help you feel better.
Acute and chronic low back pain doesn't just happen once and fade. It returns, it limits you, and it deserves a treatment plan that actually addresses the root cause — not just the symptoms.
About Us
A clinic built around one question: what does your back need right now?
We opened Acute Low Back Clinic on Lexington Avenue because we saw a gap in how back pain is treated in New York. Too many patients cycle through urgent care, get a prescription, and are sent home — only to return weeks later with the same pain.
Our practice is different. Every patient receives a thorough initial assessment, a clear diagnosis, and a personalized treatment plan that combines hands-on therapy with the latest evidence-based techniques. We don't rush. We listen first.
Located in the Upper East Side, we serve patients from all five boroughs who want a second opinion or a more thoughtful approach to their back care.
Our Services
Comprehensive care for every type of back pain
Whether your pain started yesterday or years ago, we have the tools and expertise to help you move freely again.
Initial Assessment & Diagnosis
A comprehensive evaluation including medical history, physical examination, and functional assessment to identify the source of your pain — not just treat it.
Manual Therapy
Hands-on joint mobilization, soft tissue techniques, and myofascial release to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore normal movement patterns.
Therapeutic Exercise
Targeted exercises designed to strengthen your core, improve spinal stability, and prevent future flare-ups — tailored to your specific condition.
Chronic Pain Management
Long-term strategies for persistent back pain including posture correction, ergonomic guidance, and lifestyle modifications that address the whole picture.
Acute Injury Care
Immediate attention for sudden back injuries — from sports trauma to lifting accidents. We see walk-ins and work with you to reduce pain quickly.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Structured recovery programs for patients who have undergone spinal surgery, helping you regain strength and confidence in your movements.
Our Approach
Four steps toward a life without back pain
We believe the best outcomes come from a clear, collaborative process. Here's what to expect from your first visit through your recovery.
-
01
Listen & Evaluate
We start with a thorough conversation about your pain, your history, and your goals. Then we perform a detailed physical assessment to pinpoint the source.
-
02
Diagnose & Explain
You'll leave your first visit with a clear understanding of what's causing your pain and what we recommend — no jargon, no ambiguity.
-
03
Treat & Adjust
Your treatment plan combines hands-on therapy, targeted exercises, and any additional modalities we deem helpful. We adjust as you progress.
-
04
Prevent & Empower
Recovery isn't the end goal — prevention is. We teach you the habits, movements, and strategies to keep your back strong long after treatment ends.
Patient Stories
What our patients say about their experience
I'd been dealing with lower back pain for three years before I found this clinic. The team took the time to really understand my condition and created a plan that actually worked. Six weeks later, I'm back to hiking on weekends.
After my disc surgery, I was terrified to move. The rehabilitation program here gave me confidence again. They never rushed me, and I could always reach someone when I had questions between visits.
I came in after a bad fall at work, convinced I'd need surgery. Instead, I got an honest assessment and a conservative treatment plan. Two months later, I'm back at work and doing better than before.
