There are millions of people here in the United States that are affected by scoliosis, which is a side to side curvature of the spine, unlike the natural front to back curves of the spine. Smaller, insignificant curves typically do not cause serious problems whereas larger curves in the spine can contribute to a myriad of health issues, including, but not limited to, fatigue, muscle pain, back pain, spinal arthritis, or even breathing issues.

 If you are in search of superior scoliosis treatment in the Lloyd Harbor area, then be sure to visit the professionals at the NYSI.  Our spine and back specialists take pride in treating varying degrees and types of scoliosis, from degenerative scoliosis to the more common idiopathic types.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

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.

 Here at the NYSI our licensed physical therapist, Michael Friar, D.P.T., is committed to providing all our Lloyd Harbor patients with the highest quality physical therapy treatment options. Our team of specialists will offer instruction on proper stretching, exercise, and manual therapy and provide knowledge and insight on body mechanics, postural awareness, and exercises that can be performed at home and will help in preventing further injury. 

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.
