Interventional
Orthopedics

The human body is designed to repair damage. In certain instances, however, the body may not be able to heal as effectively due to inadequate blood supply to the tissue, chronicity of the condition, or severity of the injury. Interventional orthopedic treatments harness our body’s own natural healing factors to accelerate and enhance the repair of damaged tissues. Ospina Medical’s physicians are leaders in the field of non-surgical interventional orthopedics with extensive advanced training from the Interventional Orthopedic Foundation. As part of our treatment options, we are proud to offer these cutting-edge therapies to our patients in New York City.

Functional
Medicine

Functional medicine is a systems biology-based model that empowers patients and providers to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. By addressing root cause, rather than symptoms, practitioners become honed to your unique genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your disease process. By understanding your body as a whole, our practitioners at Ospina Medical can leverage this information to direct personalized treatment plans that ultimately lead to improved outcomes.

  • "I have been seeing Doctor Kohler for a couple of years. He is the most respectful doctor I have. He is very knowledgeable and understanding. I will never see anyone else. He is a doctor who wont give up on your health issues."

    James R.

  • "I've been having severe low back pain for over 10 years since my back fusion. Just learned to deal with it, but over the past few years it has really started affecting my quality of life. I had heard about spinal cord stimulation therapy but was unsure about it. Dr. Maniam explained it very thoroughly and ultimately I decided to go ahead with it. I'm now back to walking and playing with my grandkids. Can't wait to see how much more I improve!"

    Sarah O.

  • "This was my first appointment with Dr. Kohler and he treated me like I was a long time patient. He was clear and he was thorough. He answered my questions and I didn’t feel rushed. His assistant was super efficient. I really hope this is the norm at his office."

    Lisa S.

  • "This is my go to doc for sports injuries! I’m a judo teacher and unfortunately have gotten injured more than I’d like over the years. Surgery is not an option for me so I’ve worked with Dr. Maniam to find alternatives for pain control that don’t involve narcotics or surgery. Really knowledgeable and just an overall nice guy."

    Marcus M.

  • "My visit to Dr. Kohler was amazing.. He is very professional very alert and helpful. Very detailed about solutions to resolve my reasons for visit and I highly recommend anyone to not only visit the office but to Dr. Kohler himself."

    Jennifer S.

  • "I had the pleasure of being taken care of by Dr. Maniam and his staff. He was patient and understanding and took great care in making sure all my questions and concerns were addressed. After a quick and painless procedure, I am feeling much better! I highly recommend Dr. Maniam and his staff."
