Innovative minimally invasive treatment expands options for patients across Long Island, Nassau County, and Suffolk County living with chronic mechanical low back pain
RONKONKOMA, N.Y. — May 22, 2026 — Patients across Long Island living with chronic mechanical low back pain now have access to an innovative new treatment option as Antigone Argyriou, MD, FAAPMR, introduces ReActiv8® Restorative Neurostimulation at Spine Medicine & Surgery of Long Island.
Dr. Argyriou recently performed the practice’s first ReActiv8® procedure, expanding access to advanced restorative spine care solutions for patients throughout Long Island, including Nassau County and Suffolk County, who continue to struggle with persistent back pain despite conservative therapies.
Expanding Chronic Back Pain Treatment Options on Long Island
For many patients across Long Island and New York, chronic low back pain can become a frustrating cycle of temporary treatments, recurrent flare-ups, and limitations in everyday activities. While physical therapy, pain medications, spinal injections, and other conservative treatments may provide short-term relief, many patients continue to experience persistent lower back pain without meaningful long-term improvement.
ReActiv8® offers a different approach for patients whose chronic mechanical low back pain may be related to impaired spinal muscle control and dysfunction of the multifidus muscle, one of the key stabilizing muscles of the lower spine.
By introducing ReActiv8®, Dr. Argyriou continues to expand advanced non-surgical chronic back pain treatment options for patients seeking long-term improvement in pain, mobility, spinal stability, and overall function.
A Restorative Approach to Chronic Mechanical Low Back Pain
Unlike traditional pain management therapies that primarily focus on symptom relief, ReActiv8® is designed to restore function by activating muscles responsible for stabilizing the spine.
The restorative neurostimulation therapy works to improve spinal support and neuromuscular control over time, helping patients reduce chronic lower back pain and return to daily activities with greater strength, stability, and confidence.
The minimally invasive spine procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.
Physician Perspective
“Many patients living with chronic low back pain feel trapped between temporary treatments and more invasive procedures,” said Dr. Argyriou. “What makes ReActiv8® so exciting is that it offers a restorative approach focused on improving stability and function. Bringing this technology to our patients is an important step forward in expanding meaningful treatment options for chronic back pain throughout Long Island.”
Who May Benefit from ReActiv8®
ReActiv8® may be appropriate for patients experiencing chronic lower back pain who have not achieved lasting relief with physical therapy, spinal injections, medications, or other conservative treatments and are seeking a minimally invasive alternative to spine surgery.
Patients experiencing chronic mechanical low back pain, recurrent flare-ups, difficulty with prolonged standing or activity, or feelings of instability in the lower back may benefit from evaluation and consultation with an interventional spine specialist.
The introduction of ReActiv8® reflects Spine Medicine & Surgery of Long Island’s continued commitment to providing advanced minimally invasive spine treatments and patient-centered care focused on restoring function and improving quality of life for patients throughout Nassau County, Suffolk County, and the greater Long Island region.
