Premier Scoliosis Treatment Center Serving Farmingville

Scoliosis affects many people in the United States and is one of the most difficult chronic conditions to deal with. Unlike natural front-to-back curves, scoliosis refers to how the spine curves from side-to-side. It can cause many issues in the body if not treated properly, with more mild issues like muscle and back pain and more serious issues like the inability to stand straight and breathing issues.

The spine and back doctors at NYSI serving Farmingville, NY can provide you with exceptional scoliosis treatment.* We have one of the best American scoliosis treatment centers because of how thoroughly we treat your scoliosis and understand the pain it can cause. We know it impacts people of all ages and offers extensive care for both children and adults.

Depending on how severe your spine’s curvature may be, our spine doctors may determine you may need to revert to surgery. Luckily, if your situation is that drastic, we have a nationally ranked center where our surgeons thrive. The NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases features high-quality medical care whose back surgeons have provided lectures around the world. For more details on this, please visit Spine 101 on our website.

IMAGING SERVICES FOR FARMINGVILLE PATIENTS

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can be useful in diagnosing many spinal conditions and helps the NYSI uphold its mission of treating patients with comfort. With the most advanced technologies possible, the digital radiology department allows our team to analyze images of soft tissue and bone anatomy in order to provide an individualized care plan.

For our patients serving Farmingville, the NYSI also offers state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging machines. A Digital Radiography (DX) x-ray and a high field short bore 1.5T MRI system. MRIs from this machine are able to scan and analyze the Spine, Brain, Abdomen, Pelvis, Shoulder, Knee, Hip, Elbow, Wrist, Hand, Ankle and Foot, among other body parts.*

NYSI is also able to evaluate a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders with its brand-new GE1.5T system. It provides quality and detailed picture of anatomy and pathology for our physicians.

MRIs are safe and non-invasive that produce detailed images of the body to determine the presence of certain diseases by evaluating various parts of the body.* They utilize magnetism and radio waves to work and work better than other imaging methods than x-ray, ultrasound or CT scans (Computed Tomography).*

It can be unnerving to receive this type of medical treatment, and we work to make it feel as relaxing and calming as possible. We want you to feel at home while getting scanned with choice of music, earplugs and a sleeping mask provided.

The facility also has a digital radiology department and Long Length Imaging (LLI) for proper scoliosis assessment. Through the digital radiology department, soft tissue and bone anatomy are analyzed to diagnose your spinal condition.

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