Recovering from spinal cord injuries is a complex process as they can be the result of serious localized trauma or lifestyle habits. That is why it is helpful to have a professional by your side while you undergo recovery. Thomas N Bryce, our leader in Spinal Cord Medicine at the Department of Rehabilitative medicine, has been a part of our team here at Mount Sinai since 1997 and could be the answer to your problem.
Dr Thomas Bryce has an impressive academic record. Prior to joining us, he completed his undergraduate degree from Albany Medical College and received speciality training at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. He is a leader in the field, being the principal investigator of several ongoing studies in these areas and “wrote the book” (quite literally) on spinal cord injuries having authored numerous chapters and peer-reviewed articles on the subject.
Dr Bryce’s research is focused on assessing residing pain after spine damage, use of robotic exoskeletons to facilitate walking, and stem cell implantations for neurological recovery. He has been involved in several international taskforces with the aim to reduce pain after spinal cord surgery.
He is currently Governor Cuomo to the New York State Spinal Cord Research Board. Dr Bryce’s method is intersectional. He works closely with physical therapists, occupational therapists, neuropsychologists, and other surgical specialists to provide bespoke comprehensive care.
Dr Bryce understands the intricacies that are involved in recovering from spinal cord injury.
A bespoke plan can be constructed to suit anyone’s individual needs when going through this difficult period. Spine damage can be the result of hard trauma or lifestyle or a mix of both. Dr. Bryce can accommodate plans that involve difficult lifestyle changes. This includes both long-term habitual corrections, such as posture to post-surgery rehab.
