About Dr. Nino Mikaberidze
Clinical Background
Dr. Mikaberidze is a board-certified rheumatologist and internal medicine physician specializing in musculoskeletal conditions, autoimmune disorders, and complex inflammatory syndromes. She earned her medical degree from David Tvildiani Medical University in Tbilisi, Georgia, completed residency training at Jacobi Medical Center at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and completed fellowship training in rheumatology at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.
Academic & Clinical Experience
Dr. Mikaberidze has been a practicing physician for more than 15 years. Before joining Manhattan Pain Medicine, she served as Assistant Director of Rheumatology at Northwell Health. She is also an Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Clinical Focus
Dr. Mikaberidze treats a wide range of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis, ankylosing spondylitis, seronegative spondyloarthropathies, and rare or hard-to-detect syndromes. She also specializes in hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, POTS, dysautonomia, and Small Fiber Neuropathy.
Role at MPM
At Manhattan Pain Medicine, Dr. Mikaberidze helps identify and manage systemic, inflammatory, and immune-driven contributors to complex pain. Her role is especially important when inflammation, autoimmune activity, mast cell activation, dysautonomia, or neuropathic symptoms may be amplifying pain or interfering with healing.
Treatment Approach
Dr. Mikaberidze’s care may include advanced diagnostic evaluation, laboratory review, diagnostic ultrasound, MRI review, skin punch biopsy for Small Fiber Neuropathy, medication management, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, biologic therapies, injections, and infusions. Her work helps stabilize systemic contributors so the broader team can select treatments in the appropriate order.
Collaborative Care
Dr. Mikaberidze works closely with the MPM team, including physician assistants, interventional pain physicians, rehabilitation partners, and pain psychology specialists. Her approach supports MPM’s diagnosis-first model by helping clarify when pain is being driven or amplified by systemic inflammation, immune dysfunction, autonomic dysregulation, or overlapping rheumatologic disease.
Languages
Dr. Mikaberidze is fluent in English, Russian, and Georgian.
Rheumatology for Complex Pain
Dr. Mikaberidze helps identify autoimmune, inflammatory, and systemic contributors that may be missed when pain is evaluated only through a structural lens.
