It was my first visit with Dr. Polesin. I have been to three other pain management doctors over the many years that I have had different back issues. I was very impressed with Dr. Polesin. She was very easy to converse with, weShow morent right to the area of concern, and treated it with a couple of pin prick injections. Also ordered an MRI for more detailed analysis. She had a relaxed, pleasant manner that is beneficial to the patient. Yet seemed very experienced and knowledgeable with my issue, and her field of expertise. I like her very much and would highly recommend her!

Alena Polesin, MD, is a board-certified Physiatrist (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physician), and also specializes in sport and pain medicine. She is proud to serve patients at New Jersey Pain Management, with offices in Morristown, and Rockaway.

After graduating from University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, she completed her residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at New York Presbyterian – The University Hospital of Columbia & Cornell, serving as a Chief Resident.  After extensive post residency training and clinical experiences in musculoskeletal medicine, she became Director of Spine, Sports & Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation at New Jersey Pain Management -The Spine, Sports and Pain Medicine Center.

Dr. Polesin specializes in helping individuals recover from acute and chronic injuries. Her expertise in non-operative spine and orthopedic medicine, combined with large clinical acumen of neurologic and rheumatologic conditions and board certifications in Pain and Sports Medicine set her aside from many narrowly-trained physicians as a comprehensive specialist in all aspects of conservative neuromusculoskeletal care. She is an expert in image-guided diagnostic and therapeutic injections utilizing ultrasound and fluoroscopy, and is fully proficient in electrodiagnosis. Her clinical approach is focused on both: immediate effective pain reduction, as well as an assessment of the whole musculoskeletal system to prevent further injury and slow down effects of wear and tear associated with aging.

Dr. Polesin recently developed a growing interest in Regenerative Medicine approaches, a new and exciting field with emphasis on a more natural recovery from many chronic and difficult-to-treat conditions.

Dr. Polesin is pleasant, very knowledgeable, and very focused on getting to the root cause of why I am having pain.
