Michael Furman MS, MD

I earned my master’s degree in chemical engineering from Cornell University and my medical degree from Temple University. I completed an internship at York Hospital and my residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at the Temple University Hospital. I then completed my interventional pain fellowship at Georgia Spine & Sports Physicians, a private practice affiliated with Emory University.

I have been practicing spine care and musculoskeletal medicine in York since 1995, and I am board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation with subspecialization in pain medicine and sports medicine. My special interests lie in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal disorders and other painful conditions through aggressive, non-operative care, including the latest minimally invasive and regenerative techniques. I also use electrodiagnostics, ultrasound and injections to help diagnose and treat painful conditions. My ultimate clinical goal is to support my patients as they attain their highest level of function and independence and continue enjoying their favorite activities.

I publish and lecture locally, nationally, and internationally on my areas of practice and have won prestigious international awards for my work, including the IPSIS Lifetime Achievement Award, PASSOR Legacy Award and Lectureship, the PASSOR Distinguished Clinician Award and the Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Foundation Lectureship Award. In addition, I teach and attend numerous meetings, workshops, and seminars to keep up-to-date on the latest advances in my field. My years of experience and teaching, and my passion for the field, culminated in my writing the innovative “Atlas of Image-Guided Spinal and Pain Procedures”, an innovative book that teaches physicians how to safely perform minimally invasive interventions.

In my leisure time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, amateur photography, biking, skiing, and other outdoor activities. Please enjoy some of my outdoor photography scenes hanging around our department!
