SPINE SURGERY & CARE IN VALLEY STREAM, NY

Although spine disorders can be a number of serious issues, they are most commonly referred to simply as “back or neck pain”. The NYSI team assisting Valley Stream, NY has decades of experience diagnosing all types of spinal disorders. Further, we offer top-of-the-line treatment options to get you back on your feet.*

When thinking of spinal treatment, the intimidating thought of back or neck surgery often comes to mind. However, surgery is only appropriate when all other treatment options have failed, which does not often happen. The most common operations done by our spine surgeons are to fix pain caused by a pinched nerve or immobility.

Types of Spinal Surgeries we offer our Valley Stream patients:

The physicians at New York Spine Institute are board-certified orthopedic surgeons specializing in surgery of the spine. They have all received advanced training and are knowledgeable of many different bone and neurological disorders related to the spine. Our spine surgeons are committed to not only the surgical aspect, but the follow-up pain treatment as well. Our main goal is to get you back to maximum function. We don’t want to rush any of our patients into surgery––we take the time to thoroughly explain what is going on in your body, how we plan to treat it, and answer any and all of your questions. *

DIAGNOSIS OF YOUR BACK PAIN

Many of us will suffer from back or neck pain at one point in our lives. This is completely normal, until it begins interrupting your daily life. Since many conditions are difficult for the client to pinpoint, it is crucial you see an expert physician. That’s when you visit the NYSI, where your spinal condition can be accurately diagnosed and treated. Once a diagnosis is made, our specialists offer a variety of appropriate treatment options, from physical therapy to surgery.

We understand that a customized treatment plan can make a huge impact on the recovery process. No two Valley Stream, NY patients are the same, and neither are their conditions. Even patients suffering from the same disorder will have varying treatment plans.

Our neck and back doctors begin with an evaluation, to get a complete feel of what you are experiencing. This includes listening to the patient’s complaints and concerns, and administering appropriate tests to ensure the correct diagnosis is made. New York Spine Institute is a surgical practice, though surgery is never our first option. We understand most patients will completely recover with a non-operative treatment plan, which is why that is our first choice whenever possible.*

PAIN MANAGEMENT

The majority of Americans suffer from mild levels of pain on a daily basis that is easily managed and does not interfere with daily activities. However, moderate to severe back and neck pain requires a pain management treatment developed by an expert physician.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Our first, second, and third treatment options are always minimally invasive and non-surgical rehabilitation. Even our patients who undergo surgical operations will require physical therapy for successful recovery. New York Spine Institute serving Valley Stream is proud to announce our very own licensed physical therapist, Michael Friar D.P.T.

Physical therapy is helpful for many ailments, especially regarding the spine. The goal of physical therapy is to encourage mobility, decrease pain, restore function, and prevent further damage or injury. This can be done through stretching, custom exercise programs, manual therapy, etc. Just like our treatment options are customized, so is our physical therapy. We believe an important aspect of physical therapy is to teach. Michael Friar, D.P.T. takes the time to teach patients body mechanics, postural awareness, and home exercise programs to further progress, maintain their condition, and avoid recurrent injury.

In addition to simple stretching, exercise, and teaching, NYSI emphasizes strength and endurance training for qualified conditions. Our licensed physical therapist will evaluate each patient to determine current level of function and desired level of function, while keeping their pain intensity and daily lifestyle in mind.

IMAGING SERVICES FOR VALLEY STREAM PATIENTS

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a helpful diagnostic tool for many conditions. This procedure is noninvasive, comfortable, quick, and most importantly, safe. The MRI allows radiologists to get an inside look at bones and soft tissue. Our state-of-the-art digital radiology department provides individualized care in line with NYSI’s mission and advanced diagnostic and imaging tools.

MRIs have grown in popularity over the last few decades for their ability to assist in accurate diagnosis of numerous conditions. The safe and painless procedure is able to produce detailed images that allow for visibility of certain conditions which may otherwise be undetectable through X-Ray, ultrasound, or CT scan. *

New York Spine Institute serving Valley Stream utilizes a high-field short-bore 1.5T MRI system and Digital Radiography (DX) X-Ray technology. The high field short bore 1.5T MRI system can be used for a wide range of clinical applications, including but not limited to: spine, brain, abdomen, pelvis, shoulder, knee, hip, elbow, wrist, hand, ankle, foot. *

The NYSI is proud to offer the brand new GE 1.5T system, which is able to evaluate a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders through high quality, detailed picturing of inside anatomy.

Additionally, select NYSI locations offer a digital radiography department. Digital radiography is able to capture and digitize images, providing the radiologist an easy way to analyze inner bone and tissue anatomy. In a similar vein, we also offer Long Length Imaging (LLI) to assist in the assessment of scoliosis.

Aside from providing patients with an accurate diagnosis and customized treatment plan, our top priority is individualized care and overall comfort and safety. We offer the option of providing our patients who undergo imaging with choice of music, earplugs, and a sleeping mask to keep you relaxed and comfortable.

*The effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment will vary by patient and condition. New York Spine Institute does not guarantee certain results.
