“If I can help one person and say you’ll make it through this, go to them, they will help you. I would help you to let you see what it is like on the other side of the fence when someone goes through so much injury and trauma and then in turn, feels like I do.

“I was having severe chronic back pain daily. This went on for almost fifteen years. As soon as I met Dr. Macagno I said, “that’s the guy.” I eventually had a spinal fusion L4/5 and S1. This was a ten-hour procedure. I exceeded both Dr. Macagno and the hospital staff expectations. Instead of walking a few steps, I easily walked the full length of the hospital halls and climbed stairs almost immediately after surgery. I am so happy to have met Dr. Macagno. I sing his praises every day and I always post on social media about how amazing I am doing every year on the anniversary of my surgery.”

Dr.v is a great doctor !!! From day one he has accessed and managed my pain while acknowledging me not only as his patient but as a person as well. Every Dr office should have a Dr. V and the world for patients with pain would be a much better place. I haven’t had a Dr this great since Dr de Mourra who did my surgery In 2013. Thank you Dr de Mourra for referring me to a pain management dr who really cares for my needs as his patient. It has been a tough road . I can now honestly say the road I travel now as a pain patient is much smoother and manageable. Thank you Dr v and NYU.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

After an injury to your spine, you might need surgery if other methods don’t help you feel better. If you need surgery, then you should know that physical therapy will be added to your normal routine for a period of time. You need to rebuild the function to your movement and mobility while minimizing your pain. In some instances, you may need to execute significant lifestyle shifts, particularly if your current one prompted your back or neck pain.

The physical therapy supervised by our spine doctors in Wappingers Falls, NY is a vital part of the recovery process. Physical therapy is one of the most significant parts of healing from chronic pain or after surgery. Michael Friar D.P.T. is New York Spine Institute’s premier licensed physical therapist.

IMAGING SERVICES FOR COLD SPRING PATIENTS

The experts at NYSI in Wappingers Falls, NY, use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to help in the diagnosis of health conditions. It’s a noninvasive and safe process that validates our diagnosis. * The radiologists in our digital radiology department use this machine to capture images of bone and soft tissue anatomy and then analyze them. NYSI advanced diagnostic imaging allows us the chance to precisely indicate the best-personalized care to our patients.

New York Spine Institute uses technologically advanced diagnostic imaging: a high field short bore 1.5T MRI system and Digital Radiography (DX) x-ray for our patients in Wappingers Falls, NY.

The high field short bore 1.5T MRI system can be used in a broad range of clinical applications including but not limited to MRI’s of the Spine, Brain, Abdomen, Pelvis, Shoulder, Knee, Hip, Elbow, Wrist, Hand, Ankle, and Foot. *

New York Spine Institute’s modern GE 1.5T system gives our physicians with sharp, accurate images of anatomy and pathology to support their evaluation of a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe and helpful tool allowing spine doctors to diagnose various back conditions. It uses magnetism and radio waves to form detailed images. Our back doctors then evaluate these images of different regions of the body for certain diseases or other issues. MRI succeeds when other various methods, like x-ray, ultrasound, or CT (Computed Tomography), do not have as much success. *

It is our number one priority to give world-class back, neck and spine treatment to guarantee steady patient care and comfort. During your visit to our office, we give you the choice of music, earplugs, and a sleeping mask to improve your comfort level.

Our radiologists in our digital radiography department use superior digitized images of bone and soft tissue anatomy in many assessments to locate an accurate diagnosis. For example, a scoliosis diagnosis is done with the use of Long Length Imaging (LLI).

*The effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment will vary by patient and condition. New York Spine Institute does not guarantee certain results.
