Living with chronic back pain can make even the simplest tasks—like walking through Cedarhurst’s Central Avenue or playing with your grandchildren—feel like an uphill battle. For many residents of the Five Towns, there is a common fear that the only permanent solution to spinal discomfort is invasive surgery.
At Mosaic Pain Medicine & Rehabilitation, we are dedicated to proving that non-surgical back pain treatment is achievable. As specialists in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), our goal is to restore function and improve quality of life without the risks and extended recovery times associated with the operating room.
1. Precision Interventional Injections
When back pain is caused by nerve root compression or joint inflammation, systemic medications (like ibuprofen) often fall short because they don’t reach a high enough concentration at the source. Interventional injections solve this by delivering powerful anti-inflammatory agents directly to the affected area.
We utilize Epidural Steroid Injections (ESI) to treat radiculopathy (sciatica) and Facet Joint Injections for spinal arthritis. By reducing localized swelling, these procedures provide a “window of relief” that allows you to engage more effectively in physical therapy.
2. Physical Medicine and Functional Rehabilitation
As Physiatrists, we view the body as an interconnected system. Back pain is often the result of “weak links” in the kinetic chain, such as weak abdominal muscles or tight hamstrings that force the spine to overcompensate.
A significant portion of back pain is “myofascial,” meaning it stems from the muscles and connective tissues rather than bones or discs. Chronic strain leads to trigger points—painful “knots” that can cause localized or referred pain.
Through specialized injections and manual techniques, we can “reset” these muscles. This is particularly effective for patients whose pain is aggravated by stress, poor desk ergonomics, or repetitive lifting.
Advanced Precision: On-Site Fluoroscopic-Guided Treatments
At Mosaic Pain, we believe that precision is the cornerstone of effective relief. To achieve this, our specialists utilize fluoroscopy—a sophisticated form of real-time, live X-ray imaging—to guide spinal injections with sub-millimeter accuracy. This advanced technology ensures that anti-inflammatory medication is delivered directly to the biological source of your pain, maximizing the effectiveness of every treatment.
