Spine and Orthopedic Surgeons in Yonkers, NY

There can be many causes of back or neck discomfort. Fractures, a herniated or diseased discs, or even infections can cause debilitating pain. Sometimes it can feel like a mystery what is causing it. And when you come to New York Spine Institute, we use science to solve it. All of our spine and neck specialists are trained in the best medical practices and will diagnose you using only the best scientific methods. After that, they will prescribe a reasonable and medically accepted treatment. That way, you can be back on your feet as soon as possible.*

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is useful for diagnosing many conditions. It is safe and noninvasive, and helps NYSI to uphold its mission of treating patients with comfort. The digital radiology department allows the radiologist to analyze images for bone and soft tissue anatomy. NYSI diagnostic imaging provides individualized care as well as state-of-the-art diagnostics.

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 conditions. Our MRI machine in Yonkers will give our doctors the tools that they need to analyze your bones and soft tissue anatomy.

Our office in Yonkers 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 also provide our physicians with their best images yet. With this system, our doctors will be able to see high-quality and detailed pictures of your condition. That way, they can try to more accurately diagnose and eventually treat your back pain.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses magnetism and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body. It is extremely safe, non-invasive, and helpful to physicians. Many times, an MRI scan will pick up the presence of a certain disease when other tools such as x-rays cannot.

We know that spine and neck treatment can be scary. But we care about you and don’t want you to be nervous! So we have made our office in Brentwood as calming as possible. When you come here, you will have access to relaxing music, earplugs, and even sleeping masks. You’ll feel right at home.

Our office in Yonkers 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 proper scoliosis assessment.

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