About Dr. Mizhiritsky
Dr. Michael Y. Mizhiritsky is a physiatrist and co-founder of New York Bone and Joint Specialists. He is a graduate of the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education at CUNY and New York Medical College, and completed his residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. He has built his clinical career around the non-operative management of musculoskeletal and spine conditions, with a specific subspecialty focus in electromyography and nerve conduction studies.
As co-founder of New York Bone & Joint Specialists alongside Dr. Leon Popovitz, Dr. Mizhiritsky was central to building a practice where surgical and non-surgical care exist within the same center — not in separate silos. His role within New York Bone & Joint Specialists is the clinical bridge between the sports medicine team, the interventional pain management physicians, and the orthopedic surgeons: he evaluates patients who need precise electrodiagnostic workup to determine whether their symptoms originate from a nerve root, a peripheral nerve, or a structural musculoskeletal problem, and coordinates care from that diagnosis.
EMG and nerve conduction studies performed by a physiatrist with New York Bone & Joint Specialists’ orthopedic and pain management resources immediately available is a genuine clinical differentiator. A patient with numbness and weakness in the arm who receives an EMG in Dr. Mizhiritsky’s office has the New York Bone & Joint Specialists spine team, interventional pain management team, and surgical team accessible within the same center if the study reveals a finding that warrants further intervention.
