Welcome to Westchester Medical Center Pain Management Division
Multidisciplinary Approach to Pain is Most Effective
We treat our patients with a comprehensive approach to pain management, emphasizing back-to-work recovery, non- addicting medication alternatives and specializing in minimally invasive pain management procedures. We offer cutting edge treatments using state-of-the-art technology and equipment in a comfortable and patient-friendly setting. We treat a patient’s entire physical, emotional and mental being. Our approach is to strive for the most effective treatment with the least invasive method, while avoiding surgery when possible. We advocate for lifestyle modifications to include stress management, exercise and nutritional support.
Quality Patient Care, Culture of Excellence
Patient satisfaction, safety and quality of life are a priority of our practice and as such we strive to achieve the highest standards in the most up-to-date patient care, research-based medicine and clinical education as well as research. As an academic medical center, we are able to bring together a comprehensive team approach. We are always striving to increase our knowledge and understanding of pain.
Advanced Interventional Procedures for Spine and Joint Care
Typically, a very small percentage of our patients require surgery, as we aim to find relief for our patients through other interventional procedures first. Epidural or facet joint injections can be very effective in relieving chronic neck and back pain. In some cases, spinal cord stimulation is also an option. There are also many newer techniques that can be used to avoid or delay surgery. We also offer cryoablative therapy as an alternative for patients suffering from chronic knee and joint pain.
Coping with Chronic Pain
Our team takes a patient-centered approach to pain and focuses on our patients’ needs when selecting treatment options. Each patient is treated as an individual case with a customized plan for treatment and recovery through comprehensive and compassionate care.
