Living with pain can make even simple routines feel exhausting. Chronic back issues may leave you stiff before the workday begins. Knee pain can make it hard to climb stairs or enjoy time outdoors. Some people try multiple treatments only to find the pain keeps returning. Whatever the source, walking through life with constant discomfort can feel isolating and discouraging.
Your first visit to Maywell Health is designed to change that. Dr. Brian Mayrsohn will listen carefully to your history, your symptoms, and the ways pain interrupts your daily rhythm. This is not about quick fixes. It is about understanding the root causes of your condition and building a plan that addresses both symptoms and underlying factors.
With world-class training and a patient-centered approach, Dr. Mayrsohn offers care that adapts to your needs. That may include interventional procedures to target problem areas, physical therapy to restore movement, medication strategies, or guidance on lifestyle changes that support long-term relief.
By the end of your first appointment, you will leave Maywell Health with a clear and realistic plan forward. Pain management does not have to feel intimidating. With the right support, it becomes the first step toward steadier relief and a better quality of life.
Understanding Pain Management at Maywell Health
When pain keeps showing up day after day, you need more than temporary relief. At Maywell Health, pain management means finding the source of pain and treating it effectively. You are not given a one-size-fits-all answer. Instead, your care is highly focused and solution-oriented. We listen to your story, review your medical history, and use advanced tools when needed to understand exactly what is driving your symptoms.
Chronic back or neck pain, joint pain and arthritis, nerve-related pain, migraines, or discomfort that lingers after surgery all have different causes. Each requires a tailored approach. That is why our specialists spend time diagnosing carefully and designing treatment plans that reflect your specific needs. Interventional procedures, physical therapy, targeted medications, or lifestyle strategies may be part of your plan.
The key is this: pain management at Maywell Health is about more than controlling symptoms. It is about pinpointing the cause and creating a lasting plan to improve daily life. That combination of precision and compassion is what sets your first visit with Dr. Brian Mayrsohn apart from a standard doctor’s appointment.
Preparing for Your First Appointment
A little preparation can make your first visit at Maywell Health smoother and more productive. Bring any recent imaging, records of past treatments, and a list of current medications so Dr. Brian Mayrsohn can see the full picture of your health.
It also helps to track your symptoms for a few days before the appointment. Note when the pain starts, what makes it worse, and anything that brings relief. These details give valuable insight into patterns and possible causes.
Finally, write down your top questions. Whether you want to know about tests, treatment options, or how soon you might feel better, having your priorities clear ensures you leave with the answers you need.
The goal is simple: arrive prepared so your specialist can pinpoint the cause of your pain and create a personalized plan for lasting relief.
Step-by-Step: What Happens During the Visit
Your first appointment at Maywell Health, whether it’s at our Long Island location, in NYC or one of our many other locations, begins with a comprehensive review of your pain history. Dr. Brian Mayrsohn will ask when and how your pain started, how often it occurs, what treatments you have already tried, and how daily habits like sleep, stress, or work may be affecting your condition. This conversation lays the groundwork for an accurate diagnosis.
Next, you’ll have a focused physical exam to see how pain impacts your movement and function. If needed, imaging or diagnostic studies such as X-rays, MRIs, or nerve tests may be recommended. These tools help pinpoint the cause of pain and guide precise treatment.
From there, you and your specialist will talk about goals. This could mean fewer pain days, better mobility, or returning to activities you have had to put aside. Setting these objectives ensures your treatment plan reflects what matters most to you.
Finally, Dr. Mayrsohn will create a personalized plan that may include targeted injections, physical therapy, or medication strategies. The aim is not just short-term relief but long-term improvement in how you move through life.
Treatment at Maywell Health
Pain management is never one-size-fits-all. At Maywell Health, your care plan may include interventional procedures such as nerve blocks, joint injections, epidural steroids, or Botox therapy for chronic migraines.
Medication management is approached carefully, with attention to safe, effective use and non-opioid alternatives when possible. Physical therapy and guided rehabilitation help restore strength, mobility, and posture, while lifestyle strategies like nutrition support, stress reduction, and better sleep round out long-term care. Every step is designed to address the source of pain and create lasting relief.
