Physical therapy at Queens Pain Clinic combines manual therapy, targeted exercise and movement retraining, and your therapist works directly with your pain physician. It is built for people with back, neck, shoulder, hip or knee pain who want to move with less pain and make that relief last. Programs usually run 4 to 8 weeks with 2 to 3 visits a week, and the exact plan depends on what is causing your pain and how you respond. If you are also having an injection, such as an epidural or a nerve block, therapy can use the period of reduced pain to build strength and fix the habits that kept the pain going.

Why Physical Therapy at a Pain Clinic Is Different
At Queens Pain Clinic, your therapist and your pain physician share notes, imaging results and progress updates. You are not carrying information between two offices.
If you are also having injections, such as an epidural or a nerve block, therapy can use the period of reduced pain to build strength and address the habits that kept the pain going. Timing the two together means you are not relying on either one alone.
Physical therapy is a main non-drug option for chronic musculoskeletal pain. The American College of Physicians and the CDC recommend trying non-drug treatments, such as exercise therapy, before stronger medication.
Patients come to us with back, neck, shoulder, hip or knee pain. The aim is to help you move with less pain and to make the relief last.
What Your Sessions Include
We choose the approach from your exam, not from a template. Your plan may include some or all of these.
Movement and Posture Assessment
We watch how you stand, bend, walk and lift to find the weak links and the compensations that keep pain going.
Manual Therapy
Hands-on joint mobilization, soft tissue work and myofascial release to ease stiffness and improve range of motion.
Therapeutic Exercise and Strength Training
Progressive exercises for the deep muscles that support the spine, hips and shoulders. We start light and build as you tolerate it.
Neuromuscular Re-education
Retrains how your muscles switch on, which helps with instability and pain tied to poor muscle timing.
McKenzie Method (MDT)
Sorts spine pain by how it responds to repeated movements. A direction of movement that eases your pain becomes the basis for your home exercises.
Dry Needling
Thin needles placed into tight muscle trigger points to release tension and reduce referred pain.
Supporting Modalities
Therapeutic ultrasound, TENS or NMES electrical stimulation, and laser therapy, used alongside active treatment to help with pain and swelling. They support exercise rather than replace it.
Dry needling is different from acupuncture, which we offer separately. See our acupuncture page.
Benefits of Physical Therapy for Chronic Pain
Results vary from person to person. Here is what a physician-coordinated program is built to offer.
The American College of Physicians and the CDC recommend trying non-drug treatments, such as exercise therapy, before stronger medication for chronic musculoskeletal pain.
After an epidural or nerve block, therapy uses the period of reduced pain to rebuild strength and address the habits that kept pain going.
Guidelines recommend trying physical therapy before surgery in most cases of back or neck pain. It is not guaranteed to work for everyone.
Conditions We Treat with Physical Therapy
Your therapist builds the plan from your exam and your diagnosis.
How Physical Therapy Works
Four steps, from your first evaluation to a home program you can keep using.
Evaluation
History, posture and movement checks, strength and flexibility testing, a neurological screen and a review of your imaging.
Your plan
A program built around your diagnosis and goals, confirmed with your pain physician.
Active treatment
Two to three visits a week that combine hands-on care with exercise. We increase the difficulty as pain settles and strength returns.
Re-testing and discharge
We measure your progress and send you home with an exercise program to keep the gains.
Coverage often applies, but it depends on your plan, referral requirements and visit limits. Auto injury (no-fault) and workers' compensation cases are handled differently.
