Spine Conditions We Treat

At Orthopedic Associates of Long Island, our expertise covers a broad spectrum of spine conditions. Here are some of the conditions we specialize in:

Herniated Discs

Occurs when the soft inner gel of a spinal disc leaks out through a tear in the outer layer, causing back pain, sciatica, numbness, and weakness. Often results from age-related wear and tear, sudden injury, or repetitive strain. Treatments include rest, physical therapy, medications, and minimally invasive procedures like discectomy to remove the herniated portion.

Spinal Stenosis

Characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal, leading to pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, resulting in back pain, leg pain, and difficulty walking. Commonly caused by osteoarthritis and disc degeneration. Treatment may involve medications, physical therapy, steroid injections, and surgical options like laminectomy to relieve pressure.

Spinal Fractures

Result from trauma, causing severe back pain, numbness, and loss of movement. Treatment depends on severity and location, ranging from bracing and physical therapy to surgical stabilization with rods, screws, or spinal fusion.

Disc Herniations

Caused by sudden force leading to disc rupture or bulge, presenting with localized and radiating pain, numbness, and weakness. Treatments include rest, physical therapy, medications, and surgical interventions such as microdiscectomy.

Scoliosis

A lateral curvature of the spine, often diagnosed in adolescence, causing uneven shoulders, waist, and hips, and in severe cases, back pain and respiratory issues. Treatment ranges from bracing for mild cases to surgical correction for severe cases.

Kyphosis

An excessive outward curve of the spine leading to a hunched posture, with symptoms including back pain, stiffness, and breathing difficulties. Causes include congenital factors, degenerative changes, and osteoporosis. Treatment options include physical therapy, bracing, and surgical procedures like spinal fusion.

Spinal Cysts

Fluid-filled sacs forming in the spinal canal, causing back pain, radicular pain, and neurological deficits. Treatment involves observation for asymptomatic cysts, drainage, and surgical removal for symptomatic cysts.

Spinal Tumors

Can be primary or metastatic, causing persistent back pain, neurological deficits, and paralysis in severe cases. Treatment varies based on tumor type and location, including surgical removal, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
