Expert Low Back Pain Care at NYSI Queens

Low back pain can strike suddenly or wear you down over time—whether you're lifting groceries, commuting long hours, or working a physically demanding job. At New York Spine Institute in Queens, we understand how debilitating chronic or recurring lower back pain can be.

Our Kew Gardens clinic provides comprehensive diagnostics, personalized treatment plans, and a full spectrum of non-surgical and surgical options to help you feel better, move better, and get back to the life you enjoy. Conveniently located at 80-02 Kew Gardens Road, we serve patients throughout Queens, including Forest Hills, Rego Park, Jamaica, and beyond.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

Back pain is one of the most common health complaints across all age groups. It may develop from sudden strain or long-term degeneration. Our Queens-based specialists treat a wide range of back conditions, including:

Muscle or ligament strain from poor posture or overuse
Herniated discs irritating nearby nerves
Degenerative disc disease, common with aging
Spinal stenosis, narrowing of the spinal canal
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, affecting pelvic stability
Spondylolisthesis, when one vertebra slips over another
Facet joint arthritis
Compression fractures, especially in patients with osteoporosis
Injuries from accidents, falls, or sports

Pinpointing the exact cause is essential. That’s why we use on-site imaging and hands-on evaluation to tailor care for each patient.

When to Seek Specialist Care

While some back pain resolves on its own, ongoing or severe symptoms should not be ignored. You should consider seeing a spine specialist at our Queens location if:

Pain lasts longer than 2–3 weeks
Pain radiates down your legs (possible sciatica)
You feel numbness, tingling, or leg weakness
You have difficulty standing, walking, or maintaining posture
Your pain is sudden and severe, especially after trauma

These could be signs of nerve compression, structural issues, or spinal instability.

Personalized Treatment Options in Queens

At NYSI Queens, we believe in starting with the least invasive options. Our care plans are guided by your lifestyle, goals, and the underlying cause of your pain.

Non-Surgical Therapies:

Physical therapy to improve posture, core strength, and flexibility
NSAIDs or anti-inflammatory medications
Epidural steroid injections for targeted nerve relief
Electrical stimulation or ultrasound therapy
Lifestyle and ergonomic coaching to prevent re-injury

These therapies are often highly effective and can reduce or eliminate the need for surgery.

When Surgery Becomes Necessary

If conservative care doesn’t provide relief—or if imaging shows significant structural problems—our Queens-based spine surgeons may recommend:

Microdiscectomy to remove herniated disc material
Spinal fusion for instability caused by severe degeneration or spondylolisthesis
Laminectomy to decompress nerves affected by spinal stenosis

We specialize in minimally invasive surgical techniques that promote faster healing, smaller incisions, and reduced downtime.
