White Plains, NY Low Back Pain

Expert care for back pain—close to home in Westchester.

Personalized Spine Care at NYSI White Plains

Lower back pain is one of the leading causes of missed work and reduced mobility for adults across Westchester County. Whether you’re lifting a child, sitting at a desk, or recovering from an injury, low back pain can disrupt your daily life and make even simple movements feel impossible.

At New York Spine Institute in White Plains, our board-certified spine specialists provide comprehensive, individualized treatment plans that target the root cause of your pain—not just the symptoms.

What Causes Low Back Pain?

Lower back pain can result from a single injury or develop over time due to aging, posture, or repetitive strain. At our White Plains office, we commonly treat:

Muscle strain from lifting, bending, or poor ergonomics
Herniated discs causing nerve pressure and sciatica
Degenerative disc disease and disc thinning
Spinal stenosis, which narrows the spinal canal
Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction causing pelvic instability
Spondylolisthesis, where one vertebra slips over another
Facet joint arthritis from spine wear and tear
Compression fractures linked to osteoporosis
Traumatic injuries from car accidents or falls

We use on-site imaging—including MRI, CT scans, and X-rays—to get a precise diagnosis and build a customized treatment plan that works for your body and your lifestyle.

When to See a Spine Specialist

While many cases of back pain resolve on their own, you should seek professional care if you experience:

Pain lasting more than two weeks
Pain that radiates into your legs (sciatica)
Tingling, numbness, or weakness in your legs
Difficulty standing, walking, or sitting for long periods
Sudden, unexplained back pain
Symptoms following a fall or accident

These symptoms may indicate a deeper issue—such as nerve compression or spinal instability—that requires expert evaluation.

Treatment Options at NYSI White Plains

We begin with conservative therapies whenever possible. Our White Plains team designs your care plan around your lifestyle, diagnosis, and recovery goals.

Non-Surgical Back Pain Relief

Physical therapy for strength, flexibility, and posture
Medication management, including NSAIDs and nerve pain relievers
Epidural steroid injections for targeted inflammation relief
Electrical stimulation and ultrasound therapy
Lifestyle and ergonomic coaching for long-term prevention

These therapies are often effective alone or in combination—helping you return to normal activity with less discomfort and improved function.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (When Needed)

If conservative treatments don’t offer relief, our surgeons may recommend a minimally invasive procedure such as:

Microdiscectomy to remove herniated disc material
Laminectomy to decompress the spinal canal
Spinal fusion for long-term stability in cases of degeneration or vertebral slippage

All procedures are performed with precision and care, minimizing downtime and maximizing results.
