Neck and/or back pain sufferers in the Ronkonkoma area have learned to put their trust in our dedicated back doctors here at NYSI who are committed to providing them with personalized back pain treatment options that are the least invasive and specific to their needs.  It is our policy to reserve spine surgeries for those Ronkonkoma patients who have unsuccessfully undergone other treatment plans and find themselves still suffering from pain, rather than prescribe it as an initial form of treatment. When one of our spine surgeons makes a decision to perform a surgery it is primarily to provide relief from the pain caused by pinched nerves, spinal cord compression, or mechanical instability of the spinal cord.

The skilled and highly trained orthopedic surgeons here at the NYSI offer Ronkonkoma patients of all ages personalized care and treatment plans.  Our highly respected team specializes in spine surgery and is also highly trained and experienced in bone and neurological spinal disorders. Our back and neck specialists here at the NYSI have come to be known as one of the best all round teams in the Greater New York City area as a result of the thousands of back pain and neck pain patients we have treated.  Our spine doctors and neck surgeons rely heavily upon important patient information they gather at your initial consultation in their dedicated efforts to comprehend your pain, its source, and the impact it has had on your life to allow us to determine the best course of treatment for your condition.*

PREMIER SCOLIOSIS TREATMENT CENTER OF RONKONKOMA

 
 
 

In addition, here at the NYSI, we also offer state of the art scoliosis care and treatment plans to all our Ronkonkoma patients who suffer with scoliosis.  With millions of people in the United States having been diagnosed with scoliosis, which is a side to side curvature of the spine, contrary to the natural front to back curves, we here at the NYSI give focus to helping to make a difference in the lives of these people. When the curves in the spine are minimal and insignificant, they are less likely to cause problems or complications, but when the curves are drastic and significant they can result in a myriad of health issues that can include fatigue, muscle pain, back pain, spinal arthritis, or even breathing issues.

If you suffer from scoliosis be sure to reach out to the dedicated team of doctors here at the NYSI for information, insight and proper care and treatment.  Our spine and back specialists are skilled in the treatment of varied types of scoliosis, including both degenerative and common idiopathic scoliosis. Our scoliosis treatment center has earned a spot on the charts because of the commitment and dedication of our top-rated doctors who pride themselves in offering extensive care to patients young and old suffering from scoliosis, because of their comprehension of the impact it has on individuals of all ages. *

The care and treatment provided to scoliosis patients will vary from patient to patient and is dependent upon the severity of your spine’s curvature. Severe cases of scoliosis may require our back surgeons or spine doctors to perform surgeries.  These dedicated back surgeons have years of experience and commitment at our nationally ranked center, NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases.* Many of the renowned surgeons and doctors have given lectures around the world on scoliosis treatments and have authored several publications on the topic as well.  For more details, refer to our Spine 101 section.

Physical therapy is a mandatory part of your rehabilitation process.  It is necessary to help enhance patient movement and mobility, decrease pain, restore function, and help to limit disability in individuals with injuries or impairments. *  Here at NYSI, our dedicated back specialists offer our Ronkonkoma patients personalized PT plans.

We also take pride in our top-rated physical therapy team and in its leader, Michael Friar, D.P.T.  Michael Friar exhibits the highest level of commitment to his patients and provides superior, comprehensive physical therapy treatment options to patients that are specific to their individual needs.  Patients are instructed on proper stretching, exercise, and manual therapy and are advised on body mechanics, postural awareness, and exercises that can be done at home. All of these specialized exercises aid in their rehabilitation, improve health and prevent re injury.

Our PT team combines cardio and weight machines to target strength and endurance training for all our PT patients.  Patients must first undergo a full evaluation by one of our physical therapists. The physical therapist will then determine present functioning levels, pain thresholds and physical restrictions before they can prescribe a personalized PT program specific to the patient’s individual needs.  Once the evaluation is completed, Michael Friar will then determine the best treatment options for you and will assign a series of practical goals for you to achieve over time.

IMAGING SERVICES FOR RONKONKOMA PATIENTS

 
 
 

At NYSI we are equipped with the most innovative, state of the art radiology department.  The department includes magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that is both safe and noninvasive and provides images needed for diagnosing a variety of conditions.  The diagnostic imaging allows doctors to determine appropriate personalized care and treatment plans for our Ronkonkoma patients while providing radiologists with the tools they need to analyze various bone and soft tissue anatomies.

The department is also equipped with Digital Radiography (DX) x-rays and a high field short bore 1.5T MRI system that supports a variety of clinical applications, including MRI’s of the Spine, Brain, Abdomen, Pelvis, Shoulder, Knee, Hip, Elbow, Wrist, Hand, Ankle and Foot.*

The GE 1.5T system provides physicians with vivid images of anatomy and pathology that they need in order to evaluate a number of musculoskeletal disorders.

The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) utilizes both magnetism and radio waves to produce images of various body parts that help back doctors to identify certain diseases which may not be otherwise visible with other imaging methods such as x-ray, ultrasound or CT (Computed Tomography). *  The department is also equipped with Long Length Imaging (LLI) for appropriate assessments of scoliosis.

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