“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.
Surgery alone does not lead to successful rehabilitation. Even surgery that’s minimally invasive must be accompanied by physical therapy for aiding movement and mobility, decreasing pain, restoring function, and limiting disability in patients with injuries or impairments.* This is especially important for lifestyles that add additional strain to their neck and back. If you are seeking treatment for a neck or back injury, come see our back specialists in Tarrytown, NY.
New York Spine Institute has a licensed physical therapist, Michael Friar, D.P.T., who’s committed to providing patients superior physical therapy treatment. You’ll be provided assistance and instructions to properly stretch, exercise, and manual therapy. We know that to help our patients’ conditions improve, essential information on body mechanics, postural awareness, and exercises that can be done at home must be administered. This helps them heal in addition to preventing reinjury.
The combination of cardio and weight machines allows the NYSI to target strength and endurance training as a whole for Tarrytown, NY patients in physical therapy. Prior to the start of a program, individuals must be evaluated by a licensed physical therapist to determine their present functioning levels, pain threshold, and any physical restrictions affecting their daily lives.
