Pain Management
Patients can suffer from both chronic and acute back pain. Our team includes specially trained Pain Medicine physicians who evaluate and manage spine-related pain due to a number of causes. We offer nonsurgical and/or minimally invasive interventional treatments to relieve pain, such as:
- Spinal injections for pain management
- Sympathetic neurolysis (temporary and permanent), a way to destroy nerve cells causing pain which is used for complex pain following spinal surgeries
- Comprehensive pain management for cancer patients who suffer from vertebral fractures and bone metastasis
- Minimally invasive procedures for herniated discs
- Neuroaugmentation techniques, such as spinal cord stimulators and peripheral nerve stimulators
Neurology
Our Neurology specialists diagnose and manage disorders of the spine. They have an expert track record of providing comprehensive care to adults suffering from neurologic disorders and are sought both locally and nationally for their expertise and experience in managing spinal disorders
Diagnostic Services
We recognize that the most important step in your care is an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your pain. In addition to traditional imaging methods such as x-rays, CT scanning, and MRI scanning in conjunction with Weill Cornell Imaging at NewYork-Presbyterian (WCI-NYP), our physicians conduct diagnostic procedures to visualize spinal problems. WCI-NYP’s superb diagnostic facilities are located only blocks away from our practice and appointments and referrals can be made directly by the Spine Center staff.
