A leading cause of disability around the world, back pain is universal. When the discomfort persists or worsens over time, it’s important to seek professional help for lasting relief.
What’s Causing Your Chronic Back Pain?
The Diagnosis: What To Expect
Step 1: Consultation
When you arrive at our Long Island office, we will first talk to you about your back pain. We will ask you to rate your discomfort and discuss any triggers for the pain.
Step 2: Physical examination
From there, we will perform a physical examination and assess your ability to sit, stand, and walk.
Step 3: X-ray
If necessary, we will order an x-ray. This imaging test may reveal problems with your bones and can help us diagnose arthritis or a fracture.
Step 4: MRI or CT scan
Finally, an MRI or CT scan may be needed to uncover issues with structures that aren’t seen on an x-ray, including your discs, muscles, tissue, tendons, nerves, and ligaments.
Our Treatment Approach
At Long Island Spine Specialists, we don’t simply treat symptoms and cover up your pain.
Rather, our goal is always to:
- Identify the root cause of your discomfort
- Treat the underlying issue
- Restore optimal function and comfort
