“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

Most patients want a procedure that is both minimally invasive and non-surgical.  Physical therapy, in that case, is often a perfect choice. And thankfully, our patients in the Glenham, NY area now have access to our world-class licensed physical therapist – Michael Friar. Physical therapy is designed to help decrease pain, restore function, and prevent disability. 

If you have an injury or impairment, physical therapy also may aid in the recovery of it. Exercises that we use in our physical therapy sessions often vary and are usually centered around stretching, modalities, and manual therapy. Patients also work on proper body mechanics and postural awareness. They even receive a home-based routine that they can practice in their free time. Our Glenham patients will also have access to weight machines at our offices.*

The first step in our process is to conduct an evaluation by one of our licensed physical therapists. They will assess your current level of function and pain intensity. They will also consider your lifestyle. Then, our resident Michael Friar, D.P.T. will take these findings into account when he curates a treatment plan for your spinal condition. He will always focus on specializing your treatment and setting goals with treatment that works.*

IMAGING SERVICES FOR GLENHAM PATIENTS

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine was invented in 1977 and has since revolutionized medical practices everywhere. It is a useful, non-invasive, and safe way to help diagnose a variety of conditions. Our MRI machine gives our spinal specialists the tools that they need to analyze your bones and soft tissue anatomy.

Our office also has state-of-the-art and technologically advanced diagnostic tools. In addition to our 1.5 MRI system, we also have a Digital Radiography (DX) X-ray. Our high-field short bore 1.5 MRI system supports many clinical situations. We can do MRI scans of the spine, brain, abdomen, pelvis, shoulder, knee, hip, elbow, wrist, ankle, and even the foot!*

New York Spine Institute’s brand-new GE 1.5 system will provide our physicians with precise, resolute pictures. With this system, we will be able to see high-quality and detailed pictures of your condition. Having these options will allow them to accurately diagnose and eventually treat your back pain or spinal condition.*

We want you to feel comfortable and confident in our office. Doctor’s visits can be overwhelming, and we don’t think they should be. That is why we have made our office serving our Glenham patients as “snug” as possible. We have relaxing music, earplugs, and even sleeping masks. We care about our patient’s comfort, starting with a relaxed environment to help cut out the stress you may often feel in a medical environment.

New York Spine Institute is even outfitted with its own digital radiology department. In this part of our practice, the images are digitized and radiologists can analyze bone and soft tissue. As part of this, we also offer Long Length Imaging (LLI) for a proper scoliosis assessment.*

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