Low back pain is one of the most common reasons adults in Suffolk County miss work, limit activities, or seek medical attention. Whether you’re a parent lifting kids, a tradesperson managing physical stress, or someone working long hours at a desk, lower back pain can disrupt your routine and quality of life.

At New York Spine Institute’s Commack office, our board-certified spine specialists offer comprehensive care to treat the root cause of your discomfort—not just the symptoms. Located right on Commack Road, our Long Island clinic provides full-service spine care all in one convenient location.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

Back pain may develop gradually or appear suddenly. At NYSI Commack, we commonly diagnose and treat conditions such as:

  • Muscle strains from lifting or poor posture
  • Herniated discs pressing on spinal nerves
  • Degenerative disc disease due to aging
  • Spinal stenosis, which narrows the spinal canal
  • Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, causing pain at the base of the spine
  • Spondylolisthesis, where one vertebra slips forward
  • Facet joint arthritis, leading to localized lower back pain
  • Compression fractures, often linked to osteoporosis
  • Back pain following car accidents, falls, or sports injuries

Our Commack team uses MRI, X-ray, and CT scans to precisely identify the cause of your symptoms and create a targeted care plan.

When to See a Spine Specialist in Commack

Back pain isn’t always serious—but persistent or worsening symptoms deserve expert attention. Schedule a visit if you’re experiencing:

  • Pain lasting more than 2–3 weeks
  • Pain that radiates into your legs (sciatica)
  • Numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness
  • Difficulty walking, standing, or maintaining posture
  • Sudden, sharp pain without a clear injury
  • Back pain after a fall, collision, or lifting injury

These signs may indicate nerve compression, structural instability, or another condition that needs medical evaluation.

Low Back Pain Treatment Options in Commack

Our approach is patient-first and conservative. We begin with non-invasive solutions whenever possible and reserve surgery for cases where it’s truly necessary.

Non-Surgical Therapies:

  • Physical therapy to improve flexibility, core strength, and posture
  • Anti-inflammatory medications to reduce swelling and pain
  • Epidural steroid injections for nerve root inflammation
  • Ultrasound, TENS, or electrical stimulation
  • Lifestyle and ergonomic coaching for daily movement support

These treatments are delivered on-site at our Commack office by specialists who understand the demands of daily life on Long Island.

Surgical Options (When Necessary):

If imaging reveals a serious disc problem, spinal stenosis, or instability, our surgeons may recommend:

  • Microdiscectomy to remove herniated disc material
  • Spinal fusion to stabilize degenerative vertebrae
  • Laminectomy to relieve pressure from nerve compression

All procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, reducing downtime and improving outcomes.
