ABOUT CHABLA PAIN & PERFORMANCE MEDICINE
The Philosophy Behind the Practice
Pain medicine has a problem. For too long, the standard of care has meant prescriptions refilled month after month – treating symptoms rather than root causes, and leaving patients dependent on medications that were never meant to be permanent solutions. Dr. Luis Chabla founded Chabla Pain & Performance on a different premise: that the body, when given the right tools, has a remarkable ability to heal itself.
ABOUT THE PHYSICIAN
Meet Dr. Luis Chabla, MD
Board-Certified Anesthesiologist & Pain Medicine Physician
Dr. Chabla brings nine years of clinical expertise to every patient encounter – along with an academic foundation few private practitioners can match.
He completed his undergraduate education at Tulane University, graduating cum laude with a double major in Psychology and Cell & Molecular Biology. He earned his medical degree from SUNY Downstate, completed his anesthesiology residency at SUNY Downstate, and went on to a fellowship in pain medicine at the University of Maryland.
Before opening his private practice, Dr. Chabla served as an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine at Columbia University, following four years as a faculty clinician at NYU.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our Approach
Heal, Don't Just Manage
We use minimally invasive therapies - including PRP injections, nerve injections, trigger point injections, botox injections, ketamine infusions, ultrasound-guided treatment, and MLS Laser Therapy - to address pain at its source. Our goal is always to restore function and reduce dependence on medications.
Precision Over Protocol
No two patients are the same. Whether you are a professional athlete with a nagging tendon injury or someone managing years of neuropathic pain, your treatment plan is built around your unique biology, goals, and lifestyle - not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
OUR PATIENTS
Who We Serve
Our patients range from 18 to 80 years old. They are athletes pushing the limits of what their bodies can do. They are weekend warriors dealing with overuse injuries. They are professionals managing chronic or neuropathic pain that is affecting their quality of life. What they have in common: they want more than a prescription.
DIRECT CARE
Cash-Pay Care in Midtown Manhattan
Chabla Pain & Performance operates on a cash-pay model, which means we work directly for you – not for insurance companies. No prior authorizations. No denied claims. No compromises on the treatments you need. Just direct, physician-led care.
