Spine & Back Pain Specialists in the Bronx

Sciatica, herniated discs, and nerve pain — evaluated personally by board-certified spine specialists.

Back, neck, or nerve pain shouldn’t mean weeks on a waitlist. Shein Orthopaedics treats the full range of spine conditions for Bronx residents and workers — with same- and next-day appointments and imaging reviewed before your visit.

Your Insurance, Handled

We accept most major medical insurance plans and make the coverage side simple. Before your first visit, we confirm exactly what your plan covers — so there are no surprises.

Our Approach Is Different

At Shein Orthopaedics, we are not a high-volume, conveyor-belt practice. You’re evaluated directly by a board-certified, fellowship-trained spine and joint specialist who:

  • Reviews your imaging and history personally — not just your MRI report

  • Starts conservative — therapy and injections first, surgery only when truly needed

  • Explains muscle-sparing and advanced techniques when appropriate

  • Prioritizes long-term function and durability
