Causes of Musculoskeletal Pain and Dysfunction
Patients come to the Huntington office of Long Island Spine for a variety of reasons. Some are children injured on the playground; others are weekend or professional athletes; still others are older individuals suffering the woes of osteoarthritis. Many of our patients don’t know the origin of their pain, but just want us to assist them in getting rid of it. Among the myriad causes of spinal and other musculoskeletal pain are:
- Natural wear and tear on the joints resulting from osteoarthritis due to aging
- Traumatic injury from a slip and fall, car or construction accident
- Symptoms resulting from a prior injury or previous surgery
- Repetitive injury due to making a persistent motion, like pitching, lifting, or reaching
- Sudden awkward movement that puts excessive pressure on a tendon or ligament
- Underlying disease condition like rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis
Even our highly trained diagnosticians, using cutting-edge equipment and methods, cannot always attribute your pain to a particular cause. Pain of unknown origin, known as idiopathic, can still be successfully treated.

Diagnosis at Our Rehabilitation Center in Huntington
Our physiatrists are skilled diagnosticians who use the following methods to determine the cause of your pain:
- Complete medical history
- Physical examination
- Imaging tests, such as ultrasound or MRI, CT, or bone scans
- Selective injection procedures under ultrasound guidance
- Nerve conduction studies
- Electromyography (EMG)
Once we have determined the precise location of your injury or the nature of your disease, we will design a treatment regimen for your particular problem. If we discover that your pain has a cause unrelated to your spine or joints (such as a kidney stone) or requires immediate surgical intervention (like a dislocated fracture), we will refer you to a trustworthy colleague in the appropriate specialty.
At Long Island Spine, We Use Safe, Noninvasive, Effective Treatments
Our Huntington spine center professionals administer treatments that have a track record of relieving pain and restoring function. These include:
- Spinal epidural injections — administered under fluoroscopic guidance, these injections target the pain site with a combination of analgesic and corticosteroid to reduce both pain and inflammation
- Diagnostic ultrasound – and ultrasound guided therapeutic musculoskeletal injections
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy — enriches a sample of your own blood with your own platelets, and then reinjects them to promote healing
- PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) technology — uses electromagnetic waves at varying frequencies to reduce pain and accelerate healing
