Many people hesitate before taking the next step. When pain does not feel urgent or the path forward feels unclear, that pause is understandable.

A spine evaluation is simply a conversation. It is an opportunity to better understand what may be contributing to your pain and to talk through possible next steps, which may include conservative care, pain management, or other options when appropriate.

Our team is here to guide you through the process and help you take the first step toward pain relief.

Am I a candidate for medial branch transection?

It’s a question many patients ask when chronic neck or back pain keeps returning. The answer depends on understanding what’s causing the pain, how long it has been present, and how it has responded to prior treatment.

A spine evaluation helps clarify whether this option or another approach may be appropriate. To learn more about medial branch transection and related treatments, visit our latest blog.

Dr. Daniel Choi recently performed a lumbar disc replacement at St. Francis Hospital, expanding access to advanced, motion-preserving spine surgery on Long Island.

Lumbar disc replacement is an alternative to spinal fusion designed to relieve disc-related back pain while preserving natural movement in the spine. Dr. Choi is one of few spine surgeons on Long Island offering this specialized procedure.

The surgery has gained broader attention following Tiger Woods’ recent lumbar disc replacement, helping raise awareness of this option for select patients with degenerative disc disease.
