DIAGNOSIS OF YOUR BACK PAIN

If you suffer from neck pain or back pain, then take that first step and reach out to the back specialists at NYSI for your personalized back and neck pain treatment. Our back doctors will conduct an initial consultation to learn more about your medical history and pain, and provide you with a personalized course of treatment thereafter.

We analyze and assess your symptoms and histories, perform a variety of tests, and once our diagnosis has been reached, will provide you with an effective treatment plan to combat your pain. Treatment options range from bracing and physical therapy, all the way up to surgical intervention, and a variety of other options in between. We do, however, try to avoid surgical treatments if possible, and give focus to non-invasive treatment options at the start of treatment.

PAIN MANAGEMENT

Our Port Washington patients will learn effective pain management options as well at the NYSI. Though millions of people suffer from pain, understanding the source of the pain and treatment options available is essential to achieving improved health. Our back pain doctors and surgeons have undergone specialized education, which includes assessing, diagnosing and managing various types of pain, as well as training in the newest technologies, treatment options, and medical diagnostics related to back and neck pain issues.*

PHYSICAL THERAPY

In addition, here at the NYSI, we provide state of the art physical therapies to help patients enjoy a successful rehabilitation and quick road to recovery. Even the most minimally invasive surgeries require some sort of physical therapy for recovery, and often times that therapy assists patients with movement and mobility, decreases pain, restores function, and limits disability in individuals with injuries or impairments.*

Our licensed physical therapist, Michael Friar, D.P.T., provides effective physical therapy treatments, including proper stretching, exercise, and manual therapy, and offers instructions to patients on the use of home exercises, body mechanics and postural awareness, all of which help in preventing injuries from recurring. He offers patients the insight needed to understand the source of their pain, the treatment options available, and cannot reinforce enough how important it is to be committed to your PT plan.

In his PT treatment plans, he combines cardio and weight machines to target strength and endurance training. Our Port Washington patients must first be evaluated by one of our licensed physical therapists to determine pain thresholds, current functioning levels, and any physical restrictions that may exist. Following this evaluation and its assessment, patients are then prescribed by Michael Friar, D.P.T. and assisting back doctors a personalized PT plan that focuses on patients’ forward goals.
