If you suffer from chronic back or neck pain that continues to interfere with your day to day activities, then the doctors here at NYSI are the team for you. Our knowledgeable doctors fully understand the complexities of the spine and provide insight and facts on a wide range of back or neck pain treatments. When you schedule a consultation with one of our doctors you can ask questions and discuss any concerns you may have with regard to back pain treatment options. After your consultation is completed, a neck specialist will perform a complete examination and analysis so as to gather data needed to help in the design of your customized treatment plan.
They will inquire about your symptoms and medical history, conduct an assessment and a range of tests and ultimately pull together information needed to begin the design of your personalized treatment plan. Once the assessment and testing is completed, your doctor will discuss the various treatment options available from bracing to surgical intervention and everything in between. The most common course of action is that of non-surgical treatments for your back pain treatment. However, in some instances, it may be necessary to rely upon surgical procedures as well.
PAIN MANAGEMENT
Following the diagnosis, assessment, and development of your personalized treatment plan for your back or neck pain, our doctors will work with you on developing an appropriate pain management program as well. You can always rely upon our team of experts to be there every step of the way.
Our neck surgeons and back pain specialists are highly educated in the assessment, diagnosis, and management of various types of pain.*
For those patients whose treatment plan includes surgery, physical therapy and rehabilitation is an important component of your post-surgery protocol. All types of surgeries require physical therapy, even the most minimally invasive surgeries. PT helps patients with movement and mobility, decreases pain, restores function, and limits disability in individuals with injuries or impairments.*
Michael Friar, D.P.T., who leads our physical therapy department provides all types of physical therapy treatments, some of which include proper stretching, exercise, and manual therapy. His goal is to help patients improve their health, by familiarizing them with their own body mechanics and postural awareness, as well as offering instruction on how to perform home exercises which, over time, will contribute to their healing and help to avoid any further injuries.
PT treatment involves a combination of cardio and weight machines to help target strength and endurance training for those patients participating in physical therapy. One of our licensed physical therapists will evaluate and assess you before you can begin a PT program and the completed assessment will assist your doctor in determining current functioning levels, pain thresholds and physical restrictions that may affect daily activities. Once the evaluation process has been completed, Michael Friar, D.P.T., along with your doctors, will design and develop a PT treatment plan specific to your individual health goals.
An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is an innovative, advanced technology used for diagnosing many conditions. Very safe and noninvasive, MRIs allow radiologists to analyze images of both bone and soft tissue anatomy. The diagnostic imaging equipment here at the NYSI includes a high field short bore 1.5T MRI system and a Digital Radiography (DX) x-ray, with the 1.5T system supporting multiple clinical applications such as MRI’s of the spine, brain, abdomen, pelvis, shoulder, knee, hip, elbow, wrist, hand, ankle and foot.* Further equipment located here in our clinic, includes Long Length Imaging (LLI), used for performing scoliosis assessments.
