Dr. Sujoy Menon, MDInterventional RadiologyBack pain is one of the most common reasons people miss work, sleep poorly, and give up the activities they love. It can come on suddenly after an injury, or build slowly over years of wear, poor posture, or age-related changes in the spine.
At Menon Regenerative Institute, our board-certified physicians look past the symptom to find what is actually generating your pain, whether that is a disc, a joint, a nerve, or the surrounding muscle. Only then do we build a plan around the least-invasive option that can give you real, lasting relief.
You should not have to limit your mobility or lean on heavy medication to get through the day. We treat back pain without surgery and without reliance on pain pills, using a patient-centered approach and comprehensive, personalized treatment plans designed to resolve chronic pain at its source rather than cover it up.
Back pain rarely stays in your back. Left untreated it can disrupt your sleep, drain your energy, strain your focus and your relationships, and raise the risk of anxiety and depression. By treating the root cause instead of masking it, we aim to reverse that cycle.
The impact compounds over time. When bending, lifting, and even sitting through a meal become something you have to think about, everyday tasks start to feel like obstacles, and the discomfort often follows you into the night and drains the next day.
Our goal is simple: to help you walk, bend, and lift comfortably again, sleep through the night without pain, and get back to the activities you love, whether that is golf, gardening, exercise, or keeping up with your children and grandchildren.
Pinpointing the source is the first step. These are the conditions we most often diagnose in patients with back pain.
Shooting nerve pain that travels down the leg when a nerve root in the lower back is compressed or irritated. We target the source to stop the pain rather than mask it.
A bulging disc pressing on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, arms, or legs.
Narrowing of the spinal canal that brings pain and numbness in the back, legs, neck, or arms, often worse with standing or walking.
Worn spinal discs that bring age-related pain and make everyday movements like bending and lifting harder.
Painful, arthritic joints in the spine that cause stiffness and limit bending and twisting.
A vertebra that has slipped out of place, causing back pain that worsens with activity and eases with rest.
Overworked or injured back muscles that cause sudden pain, stiffness, and limited movement.
Pain in the joint connecting your spine and pelvis, which can radiate into the lower back and legs.
Discomfort linked to an abnormal spinal curvature that often worsens with prolonged standing or activity.
Back pain does not stay in your back. It shapes how you sleep, sit, work, and move, and it rarely resolves on its own.
We match the least-invasive effective option to your diagnosis. Most are performed in-office, with little to no downtime.
Using fluoroscopic, real-time X-ray guidance, anti-inflammatory medication is delivered directly to irritated nerve roots, easing inflammation and radiating pain from herniated discs and spinal stenosis. A single treatment may provide months of relief.

Precise injections into arthritic or inflamed spinal joints that provide both a diagnosis and relief, and are especially effective for pain that worsens when you extend your back.

A minimally invasive procedure that calms the small nerves feeding painful facet joints, offering longer-lasting relief when injections alone are not enough.

Targeted injections that release the tender, spasming muscles along the back that contribute to pain and stiffness.

Not sure which treatment fits your back?
Start with a 10-minute phone call to see whether an in-person visit can help.
Same-week appointments are usually available. Here is how your first visit unfolds.
We listen carefully to your story and check your spine’s movement, alignment, and strength. Dr. Menon takes time to understand how the pain affects your daily life and what you have already tried.
When it helps, advanced imaging such as an MRI or a diagnostic injection pinpoints whether a disc, joint, or nerve is behind your pain.
You leave knowing exactly what is causing your pain, explained in plain language.
We match treatment to your specific condition, targeting both quick relief and the underlying source for longer-lasting results.
Strengthening exercises, activity guidance, and adjustments to your plan support you through recovery and help keep the pain from returning.
That begins with your symptoms, examination, and any relevant prior imaging. When numbness, tingling, or weakness suggests nerve involvement, your physician may recommend EMG and nerve conduction testing in Millburn to help guide the evaluation. Testing is chosen for the clinical question; not every person with back pain needs an EMG.
If spine surgery has been recommended, learn how a second opinion before back surgery can help you review the diagnosis, prior treatments, and whether additional non-surgical care is reasonable.

5.0 Rated 5.0 out of 5 on GoogleI was suffering from neck, back and arm/elbow pain for four months, had seen two doctors and had been urged to have back surgery when I went to Dr. Menon. She rejected the idea of surgery, and with vitamins, all-natural injections, an excellent physical therapist recommended by her, and acupuncture, also recommended by her, my pain was gone by the end of two months.
