The Center for Spine & Sport Medicine

What The Center for Spine & Sport Medicine does

The Center for Spine & Sport Medicine is a private, founder-owned interventional pain management and sports medicine practice operating two physical clinics in the New York metropolitan area (Astoria, Queens and Huntington Station, Long Island). Founded by Dr. Sawey Harhash in 1993, the practice delivers a comprehensive suite of outpatient procedures including fluoroscopic-guided spinal injections, epidural steroid injections, medial branch blocks, facet joint injections, nerve blocks, trigger point injections, radio frequency ablation, Hyalgan injections for knee osteoarthritis, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, stem cell procedures, and NCV/EMG diagnostics, alongside sports medicine and auto accident injury treatment. The clinical model is built around multispecialty credentials (physical medicine and rehabilitation board certification with dual fellowship training in interventional pain management and sports medicine) and the use of fluoroscopic guidance for precision needle placement, positioning the practice as a non-surgical alternative for chronic spine, joint, and musculoskeletal pain.

The practice operates as a direct-to-consumer provider, with patients scheduling via phone, text, or the practice website. It is out-of-network with major commercial insurance carriers but accepts Medicare, Aetna, Workers' Compensation, and No-Fault insurance, and bills carriers directly. Patient acquisition is driven by word-of-mouth, orthopedist referrals, and online presence (Google Business Profile, Healthgrades), with no formal digital marketing or paid acquisition program documented. Bilingual staff in Spanish and Arabic, including a Spanish-language version of the website and a dedicated intake line, support the practice's reach into New York's immigrant communities. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the practice has no external investment, parent company, subsidiaries, or documented M&A activity.

Broad incumbents

• Hospital for Special Surgery: National leader in orthopedic, spine, and sports medicine based in NYC. Comparable because it serves the same NY metro market with overlapping interventional pain, sports medicine, and spine services, though at far greater scale and as a multi-specialty institution.
• Rothman Orthopaedic Institute: Large multi-specialty orthopedic practice with strong sports medicine and spine service lines across the Northeast. Comparable as a specialist orthopedics / sports medicine / interventional pain provider operating multiple office locations, but with much broader scale and institutional infrastructure.
• NYU Langone Orthopedics & Sports Medicine: Major academic health system's orthopedic and sports medicine service line. Broad incumbent competitor that absorbs many of the same spine, joint, and sports injury patients in the NY metro, including workers' comp referrals.

Direct peers

• New York Pain Medicine: NYC-based interventional pain management practice offering fluoroscopic-guided injections, RFA, PRP, and similar procedures. Direct peer because it competes for the same chronic pain and spine patients in the NY metro using a nearly identical service menu.
• New York Pain Care: Midtown Manhattan practice specializing in interventional pain management and sports medicine with multiple office locations in the NY metro. Direct peer because it offers similar procedures (epidural injections, PRP, nerve blocks) to overlapping patient populations.
• Ospina Medical: NYC interventional pain management practice focused on minimally invasive spine and joint procedures. Direct peer because it provides comparable fluoroscopic-guided injections, RFA, and regenerative treatments in the same NY market with a similar specialist-only model.
• Manhattan Spine & Sports Medicine: NY-based practice combining interventional pain management, sports medicine, and physical therapy. Direct peer because it competes in the same niche with overlapping spine injections, sports injury treatment, and out-of-network-style personalized care.
• NYC Spine & Sports Medicine: NY metro interventional pain and sports medicine practice offering similar procedures (epidural, facet, RFA) and worker comp / no-fault services. Direct peer because it competes for the same patient base with nearly identical service mix.

Emerging players

• Rehabilitation Medicine Center of NY: NY-based physiatry and interventional pain management group. Comparable because it offers overlapping PM&R-led interventional procedures, though typically with stronger rehab therapy integration that The Center could expand into.
• Spine & Sport Regenerative Medicine: Niche regenerative medicine practices focusing on PRP and stem cell therapies for spine and joint conditions. Emerging player because it competes in the same regenerative, surgery-alternative service category but typically with a narrower traditional medicine footprint.
