Pain is one of the most common—and complex—symptoms people experience. Yet, traditional medicine often focuses only on numbing the pain, not understanding its root cause.
At Patients Medical in New York City, we treat pain differently. Using an integrative model, we blend conventional, holistic, and functional medicine to uncover the real reason behind your discomfort—and restore your body’s balance naturally.
We treat more than the pain. We treat you.
Pain is the body’s signal that something is wrong. It can be acute (short-term) or chronic (lasting more than 3 months) and may affect muscles, joints, nerves, organs, or multiple systems at once.
Types of Pain:
Pain may present in many ways, depending on its cause:
Functional medicine seeks to understand why pain is happening—so we can treat it at the source. Common contributors to pain include:
At Patients Medical, we go beyond standard X-rays and MRIs. We use comprehensive labs and imaging to pinpoint the origin of your pain:

We developed a 4-month plan that included:
Within 3 months, David’s pain had dropped from an 8 to a 2 on the pain scale—and he was back to hiking again.
Yes. At Patients Medical, we focus on uncovering and treating the root causes of pain. Many patients reduce or eliminate medications through natural therapies like diet changes, IV nutrients, acupuncture, and stress reduction.
We address a wide range including chronic pain, neuropathy, joint pain, fibromyalgia, migraines, back and neck pain, and autoimmune-related pain.
We don’t just block symptoms—we investigate what’s causing the pain using functional lab testing. Our integrative treatments support long-term healing rather than short-term masking.
Yes. We combine conventional medical care with therapies such as acupuncture, Chinese herbs, IV therapy, and lifestyle coaching.
We may recommend imaging if structural damage is suspected. However, we also use advanced lab tests to evaluate inflammation, toxins, hormones, and gut health—often missed in standard evaluations.
Absolutely. We specialize in integrative care for autoimmune pain by reducing inflammation, healing the gut, and supporting immune balance.
Yes. We carefully tailor all treatments to work alongside your current prescriptions and monitor your response closely.
Some patients experience improvement in weeks, while others need several months, depending on the root causes, severity, and their body’s healing capacity.
We are an out-of-network provider but can give you a superbill for reimbursement. Some lab tests and diagnostics may be partially covered.
We use comprehensive diagnostic tools beyond standard scans. This may include tests for inflammation markers, hormone imbalances, heavy metals, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and autoimmune activity—giving us a deeper understanding of what’s driving your pain.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
