About The Service
General back pain is one of the major reasons our patients seek treatment from Big Apple Spine & Orthopedics. Dr. Arutyunyan prioritizes collaborative decision-making, ensuring that every patient plays an active role in determining the treatment plan we develop to address general back pain. We place a strong emphasis on exploring non-surgical avenues before considering surgical interventions. Only after exhausting all non-invasive options and determining their ineffectiveness will surgical options be discussed and recommended for your back pain.
During your initial consultation with Dr. Arutyunyan and his team, you’ll undergo a thorough evaluation where treatment options will be meticulously discussed. We believe in transparency and ensuring that each patient is well-informed about their condition and the available treatments.
In our practice, we understand the significance of advanced diagnostic tools such as X-Rays and MRIs in pinpointing the root cause of back pain. This precise diagnosis allows us to tailor the most effective treatment plan for each individual, ensuring optimal outcomes.
Our array of back pain treatments and services encompass medical and surgical options, with a strong emphasis on non-surgical interventions. From diagnostic services to pain management techniques like physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, spinal pain blocks, acupuncture, and more, we offer comprehensive care to address various aspects of back pain.
Back pain can stem from various sources, including injuries, strains, disc issues, and degenerative conditions. Whether you’re experiencing chronic or acute pain, upper or lower back discomfort, Dr. Arutyunyan specializes in treating a wide range of back pain conditions.
Following a proper diagnosis, we collaborate with you to determine the best treatment approach tailored to your condition and lifestyle. Beginning with conservative methods such as physical therapy or medication, we proceed to surgical options only if necessary and appropriate for your situation.
At Big Apple Spine & Orthopedics, we’re committed to providing personalized and comprehensive care to our patients. Dr. Arutyunyan’s expertise and our philosophy of patient-centered management have earned us recognition as one of the most trusted spine surgery practices in New York and beyond.
