DIAGNOSIS OF YOUR BACK PAIN

We treat patients of all ages who suffer from chronic back or neck pain that interferes with their day to day activities. The doctors here in Kew Gardens are highly trained and skilled in all the complexities of the spine and are on hand to answer questions and discuss any concerns our patients may have. They offer patients, during the consultation phase, information they need to better understand back and neck pain symptoms and treatment options. After completing your consultation, your neck specialist will perform a complete examination and analysis and gather the pertinent information needed to design your personalized treatment plan.

The information that is gathered by the doctors and specialists during your consultation, greatly assists with the design of your treatment plan. During your consultation your doctor will discuss the varied treatment options available, and explain the varied components such as physical therapy, bracing or surgical intervention, to name a few. Most treatments for back or neck pain, are non-surgical options, but, in some cases surgical procedures may be required.

PAIN MANAGEMENT

After the diagnosis, assessment, and evaluation of your back or neck pain has been completed, your doctor will work closely with you to design a pain management program that will help you achieve your personal health goals. Rest assured, your team is there, every step of the way.

The neck surgeons and back pain specialists at the NYSI are committed to performing and achieving effective assessments, diagnoses, and management of all types of pain conditions.*

The back and neck specialists here in Kew Gardens are board-certified and have undergone advanced training in both medical treatment techniques and medical diagnostics as well as innovative technologies. This specialized training assists in the effective design and development of your personalized care and treatment plan for your back or neck pain related conditions.*

Treatment options vary and may include, but are not limited to • Injection therapies• Radiofrequency procedures• Spinal cord stimulation• Intrathecal device implementation• State-of-the-art fluoroscopy and endoscopy for great accuracy and precision• Ketamine infusion therapy for treatment of neuropathic pain syndromes such as CRPS.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Whenever surgery is a part of your treatment, physical therapy will play an important role in your post-surgery protocol and in your recovery process. All surgeries, even the most minimally invasive surgeries, require some level of physical therapy. PT assists most patients with movement and mobility, decreases pain, restores function, and limits disability in individuals with injuries or impairments. *

Michael Friar, D.P.T., board-certified in all types of physical therapies, leads our physical therapy department here at the Kew Gardens clinic of the NYSI in providing physical therapies personalized to patients’ needs. Some treatment plans rely heavily on proper stretching, exercise, and manual therapy with the ultimate goal being the improvement of health. Patients learn about their own body mechanics and postural awareness, and are offered instructions on how to perform home exercises. Home exercises are beneficial to the healing process and help patients to avoid reinjury.

Physical therapy treatment options typically include combined cardio and weight machines that target strength and endurance training. A licensed physical therapist evaluates and assesses you in order to determine functioning levels, pain thresholds, and physical restrictions in advance of assigning a PT plan to you. Your personal doctor together with Michael Friar, will design and develop a PT treatment plan focused on your health goals.
