Joshua Weaver

Joshua Weaver, M.D., serves as Assistant Professor of Clinical Neurology at Weill Cornell Medical College and Assistant Attending Neurologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. His clinical practice focuses on neuromuscular disorders with specialization in peripheral neuropathy and spinal conditions through the Neuromuscular Center and Peripheral Neuropathy Center.

His educational background includes:

• B.A. in Cognitive Neuroscience from Harvard University (2002), magna cum laude
• M.D. from Albert Einstein College of Medicine (2007)

Dr. Weaver's research integrates clinical neurology with integrative medicine, emphasizing evidence-based approaches to neuropathic pain and spinal disorders. His work bridges electrodiagnostic medicine with complementary therapies like Tai Chi and qigong, particularly for low back pain management. He maintains a holistic treatment philosophy combining conventional neurology with integrative techniques.

Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on neuropathic pain therapeutics, virtual mind-body interventions for musculoskeletal conditions, and pandemic-era adaptations in neurology education. These works span pain medicine, neuromuscular disorders, and medical education research with increasing emphasis on integrative approaches.

Triple board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine, and American Board of Integrative Medicine, Dr. Weaver exemplifies specialized expertise across multiple domains of neurological practice.

As Neurology Clerkship Director, he actively mentors medical students and residents while leading educational research on clerkship trends and faculty compensation. His clinical work is anchored in the Neuromuscular Center where he provides specialized electrodiagnostic testing and comprehensive management of complex neuromuscular conditions.
