Based in New York City, Dr. Patel is the Director of Pain Medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital, the Founder and CEO of the NYC Neuromodulation Center of Excellence, and the Executive Vice President of SynerFuse®. She is leading the charge in rewriting how we treat chronic pain by targeting it directly at its electrical source.In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of neuromodulation and Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) stimulation - a cutting-edge approach that filters out irritated pain signals directly at the body’s neural relay station.
