DIAGNOSIS OF YOUR BACK PAIN
If you are suffering from ongoing back pain that is constantly disrupting your day to day life, then it’s time to reach out to the back doctors at New York Spine Institute who can provide you with personalized back pain treatment options. Our spine specialists understand the complexities of the spine and provide personalized back or neck pain treatments as needed. Doctors will perform a thorough exam to identify the source of your pain, the extent of your pain and put in place a full diagnosis before recommending treatment options.
We give primary focus to your described symptoms as well as test results when making our diagnosis. There are a wide range of factors that play a role in prescribing appropriate treatment options. Depending on our diagnosis and final assessment, your treatment options can vary from bracing to surgical intervention. We customize each treatment plan to meet the individual needs of all our Lloyd Harbor patients and give focus to non-surgical back pain treatment methods rather than surgical interventions.
PAIN MANAGEMENT
Millions of Americans will suffer from a variety of body pain related conditions throughout their lifetime. Understanding the many different treatments that are available is essential to practicing effective treatment options. With that said our certified neck and back specialists are highly trained in the newest technologies, medical treatment methods, and medical diagnostics related to a wide range of back and neck pain-related issues.

Even the most mildly invasive surgeries require some degree of physical therapy as part of the rehabilitation process. Physical therapy following back surgery or neck surgery aids patients with their movement and mobility, helps to decrease pain and restore function, and limits disability in individuals with injuries or impairments.* Physical therapy is especially important to those individuals who have lifestyles that put additional strain on their necks or backs. If you have suffered from a neck or back injury, then look to our dedicated back specialists here at the NYSI.

We combine both cardio and weight machines to target strength and endurance training for all our Lloyd Harbor patients undergoing physical therapy. Before a patient begins a PT program, they must be evaluated by a licensed physical therapist who will determine current functioning levels, pain threshold and physical restrictions that hinder their daily activities. Depending on your evaluation results, Michael Friar, D.P.T. and the team of specialists, will work together to determine the best treatment plan and set practical goals for patients to aim toward.
Here at the NYSI we are equipped with a state of the art radiology department. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is used for diagnosing a wide range of conditions and is both safe and noninvasive.
