BACK PAIN · MERRICK, NY
More ease in
your everyday.
When sitting, lifting or walking becomes uncomfortable, start with an evaluation that puts your symptoms in context.
UNDERSTANDING THE CONCERN
What is getting in the way?
Back pain can involve muscles, joints, discs or nerves. It may begin after lifting or an injury, or develop gradually. Some people feel a local ache; others notice discomfort extending toward the buttock or leg.
Tell us what you feel, when it started and which parts of your day have become difficult. An imaging report can provide context, but your symptoms and examination also matter.

QUESTIONS ABOUT BACK PAIN
A little more
clarity.
Does back pain always mean a disc problem?
No. Back symptoms can have several contributing factors, including muscles, joints, discs and nerves. An assessment helps distinguish among them.
Should I bring an MRI or X-ray?
Bring existing reports if you have them. Further tests may be recommended when appropriate; not every person needs new imaging.
When should I seek prompt medical care?
Back pain with trouble urinating, new leg weakness, fever, or after a significant injury needs prompt medical assessment.
