19 Infection Is More Common Than You May Think

Pain associated with COVID-19 infection can be grouped into three main categories: pain associated with being critically ill, pain …

From Courts To Course, NWH Helps Hip Patient Get Back In The Game
For both professional and recreational athletes, nothing can derail an activity like chronic pain. One of the most common issues -- especially with older athletes -- is chronic pain in the hip and leg. That's exactly what happened to Bonnie, a Westchester resident, who found herself unable to live the life she always had after developing a constant pain in her hip. An avid skier, golfer and tennis player, Bonnie had seen her mobility slowly decrease to the point that, not only was she unable to enjoy the activities she loved, but was reduced to walking with a cane for everyday t…

Understanding Pain Management: Techniques And Treatments
Pain management is designed to treat chronic pain and allows a person to live a full, enjoyable life. Chronic pain is pain that lasts more than three to six months or pain beyond the point of tissue healing. Some forms of chronic pain can be linked to an identifiable cause, such as degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis or spondylolisthesis. Other forms have no clear cause, such as fibromyalgia or nerve pain. Fighting chronic pain is a lifelong struggle for many. With an accurate diagnosis and early intervention, we hope to help patients avoid a state of chronic pain, or at least reduce t…

When Pain Comes Knocking, Are Opioids The Answer?
“You can’t talk about pain without addressing the use of opioids, because of their potent ability to reduce pain,” said Yili Huang, DO, board certified pain management anesthesiologist and director of the Phelps Pain Center. Opioids can be effective for acute pain, such as that resulting from an injury or surgery, but they should only be used for a period of 3-7 days. They may also be helpful in providing comfort as part of palliative care or to diminish pain caused by cancer, but beyond that, there is very little room for long-term opioid use. Opioids have not only been shown to be ineffect…
