A resident of New York City, New York, Marvin Moy, MD, earned his doctor of medicine from the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Science, and holds a New York State medical license. Marvin Moy, MD, is the medical director of Medical Now P.C. In this role, he focuses on physical and rehabilitative medicine, orthopedic surgery, and interventional and non-interventional pain management.
Interventional pain management is focused on blocking pain using specific invasive methods, including surgery, injected steroids, nerve blocks, and implanted devices that administer medication. Interventional strategies are typically used for patients that experience a high level of pain that reduces their quality of life.
Non-interventional pain management strategies are considered non-invasive and include physical therapy, drug-free electrical stimulation such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and H-wave. A rehabilitative device, H-wave helps to reduce pain by enhancing blood and lymphatic flow, which in turn reduces the transmission of pain signaling between nerves. Medications such as muscle relaxants and pain relievers are also non-interventional strategies, though they are not without the risk of side effects.
