In our experience, many patients wait too long to contact us. This procrastination not only delays relief of pain; it frequently results in a worsening of the condition that makes healing take longer. Why not avoid these negatives and call us for an appointment today? Remember, the sooner you contact our skilled professionals, the sooner you will be back in the swing of things.
What Our Patients Have to Say
At the time of my first visit I was in so much pain that I was literally crying. Since my second spinal injection, three weeks ago, I am happy to state that I am walking with minimal discomfort. I am very appreciative to you and your astonishing staff. You should be lauded for your clinical expertise, generous time with patients and for giving patients like me a "new lease on life".

Conditions We Treat
at Long Island Spine
The physicians at Long Island Spine treat numerous musculoskeletal problems. Many of these conditions are among the most common causes of pain severe enough to prevent patients from working and going about their normal routines, let alone enjoying their lives, such as:
Tennis Pain
Shoulder Pain
Hip Pain
Knee Pain
Any of the above may be caused by a congenital malformation, osteoarthritis, a muscle strain or other injury, or one of several disease conditions. Once our doctors diagnose the underlying cause of your pain, we will address it in the most effective, efficient way possible.
If we make a diagnosis of one of the following specific causes of your ongoing pain, we are prepared to treat it successfully without invasive procedures, in some cases even if surgery has been previously recommended:
- Physical Therapy - Physical therapy focusing on shoulder and elbow stabilization exercises
- Corticosteroids - Ultrasound-guided injections of corticosteroid and analgesics at the site
- Acupuncture - Insertion of very thin needles at designated points on the body.
- PEMF - Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy
What’s Different About Physiatrists?
Our doctors are Physiatrists, physicians specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. A number of characteristics differentiate physiatrists from other doctors, including the following:
- Physiatrists are not surgeons; they think of surgical procedures only as a last resort
- Physiatrists treat patients of all ages
- Physiatrists take a pragmatic view, focusing on improving function rather than perfecting imaging scans
- Physiatrists are eager to work in collaboration with other professionals, such as physical and/or occupational therapists, to get the job done
- Physiatrists work holistically, taking into account all aspects of your well-being
Our doctors all have excellent credentials. In addition to receiving superior training, our physicians have been recognized by their peers in such listings as Castle Connolly’s Top Doctors, Newsday’s Top Doctors on Long Island, and New York Super Doctors. These esteemed honors place them in the top tier of doctors in New York State as well as in the greater New York metropolitan area.
