Having served the people of Long Island City and Brooklyn and receiving overwhelming feedback from patients as to why they choose us include:
The most common causes of back pain are muscle or ligament strain, poor posture, herniated discs, arthritis, and degenerative changes in the spine.
You might have a serious back issue if you experience severe or persistent pain, numbness, weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or pain after a major injury.
If it lasts more than a few days, keeps coming back, gets worse over time, or affects your ability to move or do daily activities.
Recovery from back pain can take anywhere from a few days to several months, depending on the cause, severity, and how early you start proper treatment.
Yes, you can often still exercise with back pain, but it’s important to choose the right activities and get guidance from a physical therapists to avoid making it worse.
You can help prevent back pain by staying active, strengthening your core, using proper lifting techniques, maintaining good posture, and avoiding prolonged sitting or poor ergonomics.
Back pain often keeps coming back because underlying issues—such as muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns or posture, incomplete rehabilitation, and repeated strain—haven’t been fully addressed.
