Rehabilation Medicine Associates - Dr. Avniel Shetreat-Klein

Upper Manhattan’s Broadway corridor feels like a quiet stretch of expertise. Rehabilation Medicine Associates - Dr. Avniel Shetreat-Klein sits among the clinics and cafes that serve the neighborhood’s steady mix of students and long-time residents. Physiatry, the medical field that bridges rehabilitation and pain management, is often overlooked until it’s exactly what someone needs.

The practice occupies the second floor at 2875 Broadway, a building that blends into the block without fanfare. Inside the scope of physiatry, treatments span from nerve-conduction studies to targeted injections, all aimed at restoring movement without surgery. Patients might arrive for help with back pain, sports injuries, or post-stroke recovery, each case approached with the same diagnostic precision.

Those who prefer to schedule in advance can call (212) 241-6321; the line is answered during weekday hours. The office handles referrals, but self-referred patients are also seen, making it easier for newcomers to the specialty to book an initial evaluation. While the focus remains on non-operative solutions, the team coordinates with surgeons and physical therapists when necessary.

For anyone unfamiliar with the area, a quick check of the map confirms the address is just steps from the 1 train at 110th Street. The practice has been part of the community long enough that directions are rarely needed twice.
