NYC Pain MD is led by Dr. JeanJacques Mbabuike, a physician dedicated to helping patients find relief from chronic joint, back, and nerve pain. He focuses on advanced, non-surgical treatments that reduce pain, restore movement, and improve quality of life — all with a personalized, patient-first approach.
We help people move with confidence using image‑guided, non‑surgical treatments and a plan that fits your life. Short visits, plain‑English explanations, and a supportive team from start to finish.
NYC Pain MD was founded to close a gap: many patients were being offered only pills or surgery. We built a clinic around modern interventional options—from gel injections and PRP to radiofrequency ablation and nerve stimulation—delivered with imaging guidance and a calm, patient‑first approach.
We focus on reducing friction, calming inflammation, and improving function with non‑surgical, image‑guided options.
Cushions & lubricates arthritic knees; peak relief ~4–6 weeks; commonly lasts ~4–6 months.
Long‑acting anti‑inflammatory that can be paired with gel shots.
If a diagnostic numbing block helps, we can quiet the pain nerves. Repeatable; may help even after knee replacement.
Tiny leads modulate pain signals; trial, temporary, or permanent options; minimal downtime.
Unloader/stability braces reduce joint stress and support movement.
PRP supports a healthier joint environment; for select cases, cell‑based care may be considered after clinician review.
We translate imaging and exam findings into plain English so you can make confident decisions.
We respect your time and goals. No rush, no pressure—just thoughtful, practical guidance.
We aim for meaningful function gains: easier stairs, steadier walks, better sleep. Results vary.
We verify most major plans and explain costs before care. For non‑covered services, we outline simple payment options. Deductibles and copays may apply.
Bring your questions (and any imaging). We’ll review together and build a plan that fits your life.

Yes. All of our procedures are FDA-approved or evidence-based, and performed by trained specialists using advanced imaging guidance.

Relief can last anywhere from a few weeks to over a year, depending on the type of injection and the patient’s condition.
What’s the difference between cortisone, gel shots, and regenerative treatments?
Cortisone: Reduces inflammation, short-term relief.
Gel Shots: Lubricates joints, 6–12 months relief.
Regenerative (PRP, Stem Cells): Supports natural healing and long-term tissue repair.
Do I need surgery if these don’t work?
Not necessarily. Many patients find lasting relief without surgery. If surgery becomes the best option, our treatments often help delay or reduce the need for invasive procedures.
